When you find an item of clothing that really works, buy it in every color, right?

First, I want to wish everyone a Happy Passover, and a happy belated Easter.
This weekend was so insanely fun. We started the weekend by seeing live music at a club in Chicago called the Basement. The band was absolutely phenomenal and played everything from Despacito to 99 Problems. I was in heaven, but I have to admit my ears are still ringing from the loudness.
I competed in Orange Theory’s Dri Tri on Saturday morning, which was basically a timed workout consisting of a 2000 meter row, 300 bodyweight exercises (pushups and squats and such) followed by a 5K. Since it was my first one I wasn’t sure how I would do, but I ended up finishing in 4th place at just under 46 minutes! It sounds horrible but it was actually pretty fun. The girl who won first place ran her 5K (3.1 miles) at a brisk pace of 8 minutes per mile (or a 7.5mph on the treadmill). Jeez Louise! I ran my first mile at 6mph, bumped it up to 6.5mph for the second, and 7mph for the third and I thought I was hauling ass!
We rounded out the day with a special Passover dinner menu at Joe’s crowned with Matzah ball soup and chopped liver (you gotta go if you’re ever in Chicago) followed by the new Pretty Woman Musical. The storyline is hard to mess up, but let’s just say that I won’t be running out to get the soundtrack, haha. The songs were cheesy af and not too catchy, but I still really enjoyed the show and being at the theater with my love.
MY NEW FAVORITE CHECKED BLAZER
So yes, I have a similar blazer in burgundy that I wore not so long ago. I found that the double breasted blazer works so well for me that I decided I needed it in another color. Admittedly, my stylist friend Marisa posted it on her instagram story when she was pulling for a client, so I messaged her immediately. The white, blue and black checked pattern is so perfect and versatile – I’ve already worn this checked blazer so many times. Ā Sorry not sorry.
My new favorite mules are making a debut, and I promise this is not the last time you’ll see them. And these heart sunnies, too! How cute are they with the little rosette details!? I knew I needed them the moment I saw them.

My favorite look from last week’s linkup is Amy from Amy’s Creative Pursuits!
Amy’s perfect floral top and white denims my kind of outfit. Simple elegant, and casual! If you head to her blog post you’ll even spot a quick cameo of her adorable kitty, Jackson!
That blazer is gorgeous. I love the way you styled it. And the sunnies are so fun.

Thank you Caitlin! When I saw them I knew they had to be mine.
I am all for buying something in multiple colors if you love itāI tend to do that most with basics like tees. That blazer does look great on you!

Yes that’s true – I usually do it with camis that I really like!
Love everything about this look! Dying over those mules… The new plaid blazer looks so great with the distressed jeans and those sunnies are so fun!
Thank you, Jennie! These mules are my new favorites. A little pricey but totally worth it.
I totally agree with buy it in every colour. Love the checks and the spash of blue
Thank you, Linda!
sucha great outfit!Love the sunglasses!
Thank you so much, Steph!
You are amazing!!! Congratulations! I am super impressed, I must say. Gearing up to try something new is always fun, mixed in with a little bit of nerves. Okay, loving this blazer. I totally would wear it over and over and over again, like a popular radio song. Have a great week.
Aw thank you so much, Bo! You’re the sweetest.
I think my coworkers are starting to think I only own 2 blazers, lol.
I really love that blazer. I think it definitely works for you, so buy multiples! I do the same thing! Your sunnies are so cute!

Thank you, Ruth!
What a great blazer, and outfit! Love the mules and your sunnies are too cute! I’m all about buying multiples for items that I love.

I typically buy multiples of things like camis and workout pants, but why not blazers too!?
I love the whole look! The top is so cute, belt, great blazer and adorable sunnies
Thank you mom!
Great look, I love that blazer! I hope to see you on my Fancy Friday linkup party!
Thanks, Nancy! I will definitely try to remember to link up on Friday!
Sounds like a blast of a weekend! Congrats on your tri! that takes some effort! I was training for a tri before I got sick and never got to complete it. i love going to musicals too. great looking jacket and I can’t stop staring at your fabulous woven shoes! Love them! I am in the market for some white shoes and want something unique with detail like these. You look great!

Thank you so much, Jessica! I am kind of afraid to do a real Tri just because I’m not a strong swimmer!
I think this might be one of my favorite looks on you. I had to laugh at your line about buying it in every color. My daughter is so anti-that idea and I’m totally pro-it. I’ve been having a really hard time getting behind the whole white shoe idea, but these are pretty darn cute. Happy Monday, Roxanne!!! XO
Thanks, Lisa! White shoes are a little bit scary, but I tread lightly – literally.
Oh my goodness, how sweet of you to feature my Easter outfit this week and mention my sweet kitty Jackson. I love your look. And yes, I often buy something in every color if I love it. That blazer is amazing! Love your bag too!
I could never forget sweet Jackson!
I think that’s a smart thing to do, Roxanne!! If you love it and wear it, it’s great to have the same thing in other varieties and colors!!
XOXO

So glad you agree, Jodie!
I totally do the same! If it comes in multiple colors and I love it…then why not buy more than 1? š This blazer is so cute on you and I LOVE the fun glasses!

Busy and fabulous, indeed! Thanks for the sweet compliment!
Love this outfit on you dear! Great combination of edgy and sexy! Loving the playful top, and you toned it down perfectly with distressed white denim! Those mules look fabulous too!

Thank you, Jess! I’m looking to upgrade my white denim during the ShopBop Sale!
Roxanne, I love this outfit! The tailored blazer with your white distressed denim is such a beautiful paradox. And those shoes are fantastic! But how sexy is your top underneath. You are rocking this look, my friend!

Thank you, Shelbee! I didn’t even think of the paradox until you brought it to my attention! The tank is another that I love and could definitely buy in every color!
A sporty Easter week-end as I read š And a beautiful outfit … chic and cool at the same time with superb mules!

Thank you so much!
OMG! Those sunnies are everything! It’s just so cute! Congratulations! That’s really awesome you competed. It sounds intense and I probably would have made it last place since I can’t run fast to save my life. Happy Monday!
