Down to Brass Tacks

Atlantic-Pacific

I'm a big fan of the blog Atlantic-Pacific, which is very popular for good reason.  Blair Eadie's outfits are interesting, inspiring, and downright cool.  And the juxtapositioning I love is done so well.  Here she mixes a leather jacket, an elegant dress, and feminine yet tough studded pumps.  Her outfit directly inspired mine below.

Dress:  BCBG Max Azria Iselin Draped Dress via Amazon (only red is available)** (you can still find the light grey on eBay or gray sheath dress at Bluefly, belted shift, or cowlneck dress at Calvin Klein*; gray/black colorblock dress at Dorothy Perkins)
Jacket:  Full Tilt Faux Leather Cropped Jacket via Amazon** (same jacket in satin twill at Tilly's or cropped quilted faux leather jacket at Urban Outfitters)
Shoes:  Lola Cruz T-Strap Pump via Amazon**
Necklace:  New York & Company Silver and Pink Geometric Necklace** (similar at New York & Company)
