citron splash

 F21 blazer, H&M tank + hair tie, J.Crew Pixie pants, Urban Outfitters loafers, Cut 'n' Paste bag, crystal friendship bracelet c/o Marcella Leone

This lemony-chartreuse blazer has become one of my favorite pieces to mix and match. In the words of my very stylish coworker Seth, I always love a good citron. It's bold + graphic with black and white, but blends easily when paired with a lighter tone-on-tone blouse. I kept the rest of my look easy and straightforward with striking metal accents, i.e. insane spiked necklace and metal hair cuff.

P.S. Keep an eye out next week, giving away one of these lovely friendship bracelets to a lucky reader!
