Hello, lovelies! I've had the most chaotic week ever. Between Monday's blanket of snow on the ground, Tuesday's insane thunderstorms, the band recording this week, being so busy at work and trying to keep up with blogging... I haven't had time to think! I wore the same cardigan to work for the first three days of the week and I wore the craziest granny shorts today. As soon as I got home and looked in the mirror, I was like crap. I need to change... immediately. Haha! Life.
I was in love when I saw this blazer on ModCloth! I mean... a floral print blazer? I had to have it. I really love the retro colors to it. It's the perfect print to spice up a pair of jeans. As much as I've always denied that I love 70's fashion, I definitely do see myself coveting different elements from that time period. If you were to ever ask though, I'd say I'm a 90's grunge girl at heart.
I love finding unique purses when I thrift. Whenever we go to the thrift store, I head straight to the old lady skirt section to find unique patterns I could belt into a dress, always hunt for cute purses and belts. Typically I can't really find anything else. We don't live in an area where too many people are crazy stylish. I was always hoping that would give me the benefit - older women getting rid of their clothes and I'd have access to hidden treasures, but it doesn't happen!
Outfit details:
Style Oasis Blazer c/o ModCloth
Forever 21 black top
Jeffrey Campbell Splendid heels
Urban Outfitters headband
Thrifted purse

So pretty! Those JC heels get me every time and I love that blazer.
Also, thank you for wearing jeans - fashion bloggers who only wear dresses make me feel bad. : )
xo,

I'm still so happy about Circle Maybe! It's such an exciting time-- recording, the promise of spring, all of it!
You're a vision as always, darling Tieka! I hope your weekend is well. xo
that blazer is really cute on you, especially paired with those heels! it looks warm where you are ... i know it can't be too much warmer than IL, but i am jealous regardless! the beach!
dammit girl, you are amazing!! I love this outfit - i have a floral print blazer that I haven't been able to figure out how to style, and i think you've just cracked the code for me!! yayyyyy

I agree, whenever I go vintage shopping, I look for bags and certain interesting pieces.

I have a sinking suspicion that all the old ladies are hanging onto their potentially awesome clothes on purpose. They're just being cantankerous and refusing to let us younger people have them. I'm wise to you old blue hairs...
Love the blazer btw! I'm glad it's finally Spring-ish enough to wear floral prints.
thrifting in my area is the same, not much around except cute belts and bags. you look so amazing here, loving your hair, that blazer is divine and i really like your amazing shoes.
i love love that blazer :)

perfection, love the sandy colors of the blazer and the beach. and the toothpick silhouette with the chunky shoe is fabulous :)
You look stunning!
I love that blazer lady!

That blazer is incredible! I just adore you. I can't believe we are living in the same town and haven't seen each other in over a year. ;[ We need to change that!
That jacket is absolutely amazing, you styled it perfectly! I love the simplicity of the rest of the look, you're such a doll!

This is a different look for you but I really like it! I also ahve those shoes but in red. Kinda scary how comfortable they are, no? I could run a marathon in them... if I were the type to run marathons...
Ugh, that blazer is perfect!

Wow, the floral blazer is incredible! Such lovely colors. And I adore the Jeffrey Campbell's, they go so well with this look. You are wonderful!
your soooo cutee!! <3
I really like this post for some reason. I love watching your style because it's so feminine, soft and beautiful. This post is no exception even though you have some chunky heels, a blazer and mainly dark colors you were able to make it uniquely you.
Great work!
floral blazer? AH, so fabulous. i also really like that headband on you :) great look!

I'm glad to know other, more fashionable ladies still have trouble with dressing themselves sometimes. (:
I can totally see why you had to own that blazer, too. The colors are amazing and it suits you well!
I agree...most thrift stores really do have cute purses and print skirts/dresses :) I love your clogs by the way and your headpiece. I'm happy you could pull it off even with bangs. I can't seem to wear that similar headpiece when I had my bangs cut. :'(
Ahh! I love this outfit so much. Seriously, one of my favorite of your outfits to date! Everything works perfectly. The shoes are stunning and I love your hair piece. When I saw that blazer, I got one of those cravings when you see a really delicious cupcake. One that says, "Liza, you HAVE to have that at any cost!" Such a great outfit.
Tieka you look gorgeous! I think Kaelah (LCH) also has this jacket and I love it so much! And Im pretty sure youre outfit is testament to the fact that indeed brown blue and black all look great together! Those shoes are just so great! x
oh my, yet another beautiful outfit.
:)

Love the outfit! Those shoes are awesome!!!

That is one rock'n blazer!
I've been stalking that blazer forever. I have always been such a fan of it! I'm so happy I finally got to see someone wear it... and it's you! You look adorable! It looks like it was made for you.
I ADORE this look. I mean really. I'm saving this one for inspiration. I have a blazer that's pretty similar to this one from Tracey Porter.
One of my very favourite Tieka outfits. EVER!
<3
so super cute! P to the S I just bought shoes like that today! Great choice!
Oh my, that blazer is wonderful! I know you love all things floral so this is a great choice for you. Those JC heels get me every time, they're so chunky and thick and hard to ignore.
Also, this location is great for the outfit.
When I first saw the photos, I immediately thought: "Now where did Tieka find that floral blazer to add to her ever-growing floral collection?!" It looks amazing on you Tieka! I'm surprised it's from ModCloth. It's so unique! I thought it must surely be thrifted (maybe given away by one of those grannies hehe)! You look terrific Tieka! The purse is so cute too. You do have an amazing collection of vintage bags :) I hope your week gets better<3
i want to sneak into your closet & steal your shoes :)

Oooo! That blazer is rockin. So cute.
Such a beautiful blazer. I'm so used to having to wear more playful/happy clothing in order to make blazers look less stuffy/more approachable. I love that you don't even have to do that with this one.
Then, I also love the black accents :)
Oh my goodness, when I was playing around with my fall wardrobe this week I styled the exact same outfit (these shoes, black tee, jeans and my floral blazer!) Style twins! Ah, love it. You look so beautiful, Tieka - and I'm so happy you are wearing the splendid sandals again! Weee!
I'm not a big floral print person, but I just LOVE the blazer with this outfit. You look like a rock star (and soon you will be). : D
Also, I always wonder where all these stylish old ladies are hiding with their stuff. I can never find anything really old and pretty. I think the ebay dealers always get there first...
amazing ! love your heels so much !
you look amazing :) love the blazer and the way you kept te rest simple :) x
I love your blazer! It's so cute and looks wonderful with those shoes.
I loooove this look on you Tieka! Wow, that floral blazer is the business, looks great with the jeans and plain top. I'm a big fan of thrifting bags and purses too, you can find some real gems!

I don't know if you already know who she is, but she is amazing. Its funny how visual things and music convey a message together, but your outfit reminds me of this song. It may just have to do with the whole beach thing, but oh well, listen to 'i speak because i can' by laura marling.

That blazer is definitely awesome. And your Jeffrey Campbells! I so desperately want a pair. Are they comfy? I'm a bit worried about buying such expensive shoes without being able to try them on in person first.
I just did my own little spin on this outfit of yours, as it was very inspiring. :) http://uneasyimpressions.blogspot.com/2011/04/mi-sono-ispirato.html
