Blouse: Zara, Skirt: Forever 21 (old, adore this one), Tights: Target, Booties: Forever 21 (about two seconds from ordering these), Purse: Forever 21 (crossbody version here, clutch version here), Bracelets: J.Crew, BCBG and Fornash, Watch: Michael Kors

I thought about snapping the pics of this outfit outside, but quickly reconsidered when I remembered how cold it was (hello, 15 degrees). I could've tossed on a coat, but then I would've covered up all of the fabulous stripes, so I decided against it. I would've also felt bad for my faithful photographer (aka husband) as he froze! So it was a win for everyone.

And let's just talk about this blouse for a second. I've been stalking it at Zara ever since it came out last fall and not-so-secretly hoped it would be part of their big sale at the end of the year. But alas, it remained full price. There are actually a few different versions (here, here and here), but I opted for this one because it's the perfect cut and just the right amount of sheer.

See...I told you I was obsessed with stripes! You can be sure I'll be mixing this into my outfits all year long :)

XO,
Alison
