Black jeans with an oversized faux leather blazer.

90s fashion doesn’t quit… at least not in my closet. I spotted this oversized faux leather blazer at Zara (.com, because who goes into physical stores these days?) and knew it was an add-to-cart situation for me. (Plus it was under $70, so hey, let’s do this.) It’s this very wearable blushy-taupe color, and the oversized fit makes it perfect over everything from a camisole (like I’m wearing here) to over sweaters when it cools down.
I grabbed a pair of old (we’re talking 2014, folks) Topshop jeans from the archives to wear with this. Well, I was mainly curious if these would even fit… Bless stretchy denim! I wanted a black wash and a busted knee, and these high-waisted Jamie jeans didn’t disappoint. (They’re still in the current Topshop lineup; get ’em here and here.)
Another 90s trend, the black patent heeled loafer, adds polish to this look and balances out those busted knees. (I last wore ’em here.) I accessorized with those gold hoops and the gold chain necklace I’ve been wearing on repeat lately. Both pieces are super lightweight– a big plus! Even the hoops; they only look heavy. I don’t know about you, but heavy earrings just aren’t comfortable after about 5 minutes, and I’m also wary of stretching out my earlobes. (Seriously.) Light jewelry all the way!
Shop the look:
I plan on throwing this faux leather blazer over sweater dresses and boots later this fall, and it will definitely be in the rotation when (if?) we ever return to a normal office environment. For now, it’s nice to play dress-up on my porch now and again to break up all those jogger-based outfits I’m usually wearing.
Speaking of jogging (or running, rather), this weekend is Dave’s 100-mile race! We’re really excited. Well– I’m excited and he’s just ready to get the show on the road. Months and months of training has built up to one 24-hour race. I know he’s looking forward to checking this one off his bucket list. I’m sure I’ll be over on Insta stories documenting the adventure if you want to follow along.

Yay for the black and tan club! 🙂
I can’t even imagine how intense a 100-mile race would be! Also intense is how awesome that blazer is – it almost looks like it has a satin finish. It’s pretty great.

Blazer babe! You know I’m crazy about blazers and I love any fall colors with black, so chic!
Yes ma’am! This blazer would be so cute on you!
Cute look. I *love* hoop earrings. They’re great on you.
I’m a big hoop fan, too! These are so lightweight, so all-day wear is very possible!
Oldie but goodie because these jeans are perfect! Love the look and camel colored leather.

Super cool outfit, Ashley! Back in teh 90’s, I had two leather blazers…one in dark red and one in forest green. They were so awesome and I wore them all the time. They are long gone now, but they wouldn’t fit me anyway since I am about 60 pounds heavier than I was in the 90’s! I am loving the heeled loafers, too! So fun! And much luck to Dave on his monstrous run! Thanks for linking.

If I didn’t read that is faux leather blazer I would not know what is material. Blazer look amazing and I like shade. I would like to find something similar for me.
