i’m possibly one of the least athletic people in existence. working out? not a fan. playing sports? i’d rather not. watching sports? hmm… no. wearing athletic inspired fashion items? ok, maybe. this baseball jacket is totally different for me. not at all something i would normally go for. i’m much more into feminine shapes and fabrics – floral, lace, silk. so when i was thinking about what to wear, i knew i couldn’t wear this jacket without totally losing my own personal style. i decided to pair this baseball jacket with a more flowy lace top to better balance the lack of feminine detail and athletic shape. something else that helps balance it out is a little bling bling. that’s where rocksbox comes in! i’ve subscribed with them for several months, and absolutely love the surprises they send in every new box. these druzy studs are so pretty, and i love the geometric details in the gold ring. what i’m wearing:
baseball jacket: collective concepts (similar)
lace top: lc lauren conrad (similar)
jeans: lc lauren conrad
wedges: merona
ring: gorjana via rocksbox
earrings: margaret elizabeth via rocksbox

Cute outfit! I’m currently wearing a baseball tee and jeans and cute jewelry. I’ve never played baseball a day in my life except in gym class when I never made contact with the darn ball. LOL! But I love athletic inspired clothing. :-) Thanks for linking up with #FashionFriday!

Love this outfit! I really like how you paired the lace top with the baseball jacket. My daughter plays travel soccer….I have pair of “soccer” earrings but they are um NOT so fashionable LOL.
thank you! :)
Lovely lace top! I really like the silk baseball jacket look and have one I scored at Target for $10. It’s nice to get deals on trends you may not be wearing next season. :)
Great blog!

ooh, that sounds like a great deal you scored! thanks for stopping by :)
Love the yin and yang of fashion balancing! I totally love to pair edgy/boyish with girly. It matches my personality! Great look and I LOVE that jewelry!
thanks girl! :)
I wouldn’t say my style is really sporty, so the most sporty I get is wearing Converse lol! I love this jacket though! It’s cool and fun!

replace toms/vans with converse and that’s me too! thanks, Sara! :)
I LOVE those wedges. Black shoes are the best and I find myself wearing my black shoes the most often for sure because they look great with so many different types of outfits.
me too, i wear these most days to work. they’re totally easy to walk in and make me taller, which is always good when you’re short like me! ;)
You look gorgeous! Love the wedges!
