Lately I've been reaching for the cropped ladylike jackets in my closet in lieu of cardigans or blazers- and I think this inclination is here to stay. There is no easier way to look put together, and paired with bright pants, golden accents and the tote that I'd been eyeing for over a year and finally scored on sale... makes for a super easy every day look.Oh, and by total chance... the bestie and I showed up that day wearing the exact same belt styled in totally different ways. Love it!Wearing: Zara (TRF) jacket and pants, thrifted blouse (last seen here), vintage Bruno Magli pumps, Tom Ford sunnies, MICHAEL Michael Kors Hamilton bag
