I have always thought of this blazer as a light pink. Which is mostly accurate in the second picture, and in person as well. However, the pictures seem to lean towards a taupe/tan hue and while looking for a link, was surprised to see it described as 'sand', Ann Taylor Sand Castle Short Blazer {although, I don't think the link shows the true color well, either ;) } . The pants are BCBG, and shoes are Calvin Klein Persia Sandal. The white tank top is from Target, and the tag on my top reads FIRE. I am a huge fan of lace {some patterns more then others...obviously}, and it's my favorite part of the top. However, its not very practical, and I need to swap out the tiny buttons for larger ones, because if I'm not paying attention, they begin to open from the bottom up, one by one. Especially when I'm carrying my daughter on my hip.

I know carrying little ones on your side is not the best option for your back. But carrying my little girl {as I did my son}, on my left hip is what comes naturally for me. I have never been able to carry them on my right side {or center} and when I look at pictures, they are always on my left. Which is funny, because I consider myself right handed {based solely on the hand I write with}. But, my dominate hand and side really is my left ;)

Happy Tuesday! {I hope its not raining where you are! Its pouring here!}

  24. Ah, love lace ... and the blazer, and your hair is gorgeous :) Your outfit posts are definitely inspiring. And that's funny - I'm left-handed but for a lot of things (especially sports-related) I tend to be right-hand dominated ... you're not alone! :) Hope you had a great weekend!

  32. You look absolutely stunning, Iva! I too adore lace!

    I think we're the opposite. Whenever I carry my nephew he's on my right side. I just can't carry him on my left - no clue why! :)

  45. Cute outfit :) I have a lace top like that too and I love it.

    I always carry my (extremely heavy) bag on my left shoulder too, and it just doesn't seem to work on the other side. Maybe lefties can do it?
