I had Gwen Stefani on my mind when I put together this outfit. She always does black and white with red with tons of rock goddess attitude!
Okay okay, I know I missed the Gwen mark by a mile, but the outfit was badass in my mind anyway …. you know, in a middle-aged school teacher kinda way ….
Outfit details:
Blazer – Karen Kane (Macys)
Sweater – Old Navy
Pants – Old Navy Flirt Skinnies
Shoes – Madden Girl (Marshalls)
Sunnies – Marc by Marc Jacobs
Bag – London Fog (Marshalls)
Any luck with using celebs as style inspiration, Dolls?

I think you nailed it 🙂 And I love how Gwen always rocks her red lipstick!
Gwen does red lipstick right, no doubt! (Pun intended!)

"Inspired by" doesn't mean "copycat," dearest Dawn!! You've taken Gwen's style aesthetic and put your own spin on it…with fabulous results!! Love the way the straps of your sandals echo the stripes of the sweater!! XOXO

Yes, inspired not copied. After all, I don't have Gwen's lifestyle or her abs! 😉
Muah!
You are totally badass! Love this.
Yay me! Thanks dear!

Love this. I can never get enough of a sleek (almost) total black look and I like how the sandals in their own way repeat the pattern of the shirt. The whole outfit makes the bag stand out even more.
Have a nice weekend!

I liked that repeating pattern too! I didn't even notice it until I looked at the pictures!

I thoroughly want to hang out with you, Gwen look or no. This ensemble is right up my alley – so chic and badass indeed. Btw, have you said what subject you teach before? New to your blog and am curious, being a fellow educator myself.
We would have a blast hanging out!! OXOX
You are definitely rocking that chic look! Black, white and red paired together are so fab. Gorgeous! T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com

You definitely hit the Gwen! Does that make sense? I mean you look so cool in that outfit. I love the way the stripes in the shirt play off the lines in your shoes. So interesting and structured but playful and hip, too.
