I’m actually writing this post with my foot up in a post-surgery boot after a bunion revision last Friday. Boring! But as promised, here’s the follow up “casual take” on my new favorite tweed jacket. And you better believe I will be wearing these cute sneakers once I get the dang boot off. New foot, new shoe!

Let’s start with this jacket…again. Or, “lady jacket” I should say. What is a lady jacket? It’s a classically styled silhouette that’s structured and often slightly cropped. It’s also a versatile piece, because it can be worn as both outerwear or even as a top (over a cami?). Tweed (with a sprinkle of sequins) is its most popular iteration, but you can find it fashioned out of sweater knit or even denim. I’ve linked my faves below.

I’m still loving these faux leather pants — for so many reasons. They’re effortlessly cool in both look and feel, super easy to wear, yet perfectly polished — even when you’re dressing them down.

When it comes to this long sleeve tee, I am a sucker for anything that’s Paris adjacent. Especially fitting I guess when it’s paired with a “Chanel-inspired” jacket.

After my recent foot surgery, I’m going to be wearing ONLY super comfortable shoes for the forseable future, so treating myself to a new pair of colorful sneakers didn’t feel like a crazy splurge.

Last but not least, I shopped my closet for this beloved beaded bag. You’ve previously seen it here and here. It’s a fave that always makes me happy whenever I take it out for a spin.
