Took these photos a few days ago after walking away from an irresistible pair of Giuseppe Zanotti cut out wedges that were ridiculously marked down. Although I've promised myself to spend less and focus on buying pieces that are truly versatile, I sit here stuffing my face with habanero hummus wondering if I made the right decision by leaving the store empty-handed.
Telling you that this blazer is one of my all-time favorites from my ever-growing collection is totally an understatement... I will seriously never get rid of it... I'm even considering passing it down to my future daughter because that's how much I love it.

The color of the blazer is great with the black and white print...
Your future daughter will have a great time playing dress up in your closet!
I bought that leotard yesterday in black. Isnt it hotttt?
It's obvious why that blazer is one of your favorites. It's incredible. But...I can't stop staring at those shoes! Oh my goodness, in love!!!!
I love the blazer too!
pasties!? what a brilliant idea! & kinda hilarious! :)

i need to go skirt shopping at f21, damn!
i love the color of your blazer (:
This blazer is awesome!!!!!
Beautiful blazer! Mustard yellow is a hard color to pull off and you do it well!
I have a similar vintage blazer that's bright yellow (made of pineapple fibers) that I posted an outfit of here:
http://chicsteals.blogspot.com/2009/05/here-comes-sun.html
It was my mother's..she passed it down to me. I find it's really hard to keep in current rotation in my closet because of the brightness!
You work it well!

I am too much of a poor student to buy insanely expensive and/or statement pieces... definitely into getting versatile pieces!! Especially pieces that don't date.
PS - love the shades!

gorgeous. i love that lace leotard!
Love your outfits!! you're so stylish!! kisses!
You've got great style carla but too bad you don't know how to dress for your body. Who is dressing you? Obviously you are peddling clothes for AA just to name a few...is that why there's links so all the stans can run and purchase these items while flooding your bank account? Stupid stans. Your porportions are never right...either it's stubby fat knee legs or some rediculous hemline or over the top shit. Stop selling Biatch!!!!!!!!!
I love your blazer <3
Oh and thank goodness for photoshop and professional cameras. I bet you use a wide angle lens to trick our eyes into believing you don't look rediculous in real life. Keep selling!!!
beautiful , i love the color of your blazer.

anonymous up there, learn to spell before insulting her. and thank goodness for the "anonymous" option since otherwise you wouldn't be able to post your rude comment. way to conceal your identity. you must be one well-dressed, hot sexy bitch
love you karla
I see what's happening here. These folks are kissing ass in hopes of using your 'popularity' to gain recognition of their own blogs. Advertising all around. Makes perfect sense. Everybody is a sales man. How about some depth beyond the clothes? Right Carla is a stuck up bitch and god forbid she feels anyone insults you, you're ready to fire back. Pathetic. Ya got wonky legs/knees btw.
&1t;3-what did I misspell? Cause I take my spelling seriously. You couldn't be referring to C A R L A could you?? Whose payroll are you on dear? Btw I am a hot sexy well dressed bitch long limbed and proportioned and all babe. Thanks for the attention too. Oh you want my email?

Amaazing blazer! my mum has one in mustard colour too.. =)

The mustards a fantastic shade for you, I really love the print on the skirt and lace top together - can't believe your wearing pasties - what a cool idea with the lace! x
http://fashionpearlsofwisdom.blogspot.com/
What a pretty blazer.. I love really well cut jackets, you can always just guarantee that vintage blazers will be beautiful. And although I'm not usually afan of this colour, I think it works really well with your outfit, contrasts nicely (:
Pretty skirt too. Thise shoes are pretty cool too!How high are the heels? They look massive, haha..
I really like the style of photography used in every post. its very eye catching.

The prettyness of it all!

And don't listen to those insecure Anonymous people ..they are Anonymous for a reason.
your blog is so wonderful, really nice outfits all the time! take care
love your last two outfit posts.
looks like your style used to look... becuase in my opinion it's changed quite abit.
In one of the very first photos i saw of you you were wearing this blazer, with pants and a striped tee... it looked amazing and still does.
Sarah
Style on the Rocks
god how entertaining it is to read those anonymous comments.
of course she's getting free clothes or things like that from time to time, but just be happy for karla, she's just a girl too, not one with a monthly $2000 shopping budget.
in short: just read the blog or don't read the blog, no one demands you to.
you look good karla.
A lovely skirt, i like it very much.
i love how you rock the bodysuit and the mustard yellow. beautiful.
http://forwhomthebeltolls.blogspot.com
i like how you are mixing and matching what you already have and already posted - thats style- creating new looks with what you already have! looks great!
i looove that mustard blazer! i posted a black and white skirt from f21 recently and i have got to say - they have the best affordable pieces!
you look lovely as usual :)

http://zarnasrunway.blogspot.com
this blazer is horrible - hate the colour and r u crazy wearing that lace leotard without anything underneath?!? hahaha just kidding;D i totally love this outfit;))) this skirt goes soo well with blazer's (in a good way) sick colour;D
THAT OUTFIT IS LOVE. 'NUFF SAID.
Your daughter would love a piece as fab as that!
-Meream
That blazer is an incredible piece - it stands out so well, though, because of how you paired it with with the white and black pieces.
I truthfully understand your addiction to the blazer. It is divine.
I guess mustard is in...I've already got a shirt, shoes, belt and recently bought tank in that color...and because of your blazer, I must now find a mustard one...or somehow figure out how to make one...
As always, you are a great inspiration...
P.S. What's up with the Anon crap? I mean, come on, if you really hate Karla, perhaps you should do it without hiding your identity...don't be a wuss like the KKK, hiding behind Anon-sheets...If you have a problem, settle it woman/man/whatever you are to woman with her...
love the blazer. i have a mustard trench for fall. now i can't wait!
I love your lace!!
I love this outfit, looks kind of familiar though haha!!
www.fashion-intervention.blogspot.com
Beautiful blazer, I'm a sucker for this colour.
i like the warmth of the location, its got that really charming aspect to it....as for your clothes, well you don't need me to say it, you know you have done well.
love how you mixed the solid color blazer w/ floral skirt...brilliant!
it's funny that you mention wearing verstile pieces in this post since we've seen both the skirt and blazer before (correct?) - i love to see how people re-work pieces...well done!
OMFG!!!! I want ur shoes & you're legs are TDF!!!! Amazing pictures!!!

Please tell me you got the skirt from F21 recently? I am totally in love with it!
Fabulous outfit, as always!

Love the color of the blazer. I'm obsessed with jackets. Have to stop getting so many.
LOVE this! The mustard really makes a statement against the black and white. And I just adore the lace leotard!
oooh i really love your blazer :D and all of your outfit!
you're so incredible!

how do you manage to wear blazers in the heat? you are truly amazing.
er, babes? don't keep it for your daughter - send it to meee!!!!! *evil laugh*
haha, love this blazer, I remember you posting an outfit with it before; i love that you post items more than once, it shows actual normality!
P.S i really do hope that you ignore those horrible anonymous comments, they're really hurtful. I enjoy reading other people's comments to see other people's interpretation of your outfits, but there's a difference between being an evil bitch and giving constructive critcism or even an opinion! Keep up your blog Karla xxx

satin pasties? karla deras, you never fail to surprise me. love thisssssss to death
What’s up with the bitter anonymous lady…… we shouldn’t be mean maybe she just has no one who gives a damn about how “hot sexy” she is and that’s why she sits up at 2 am starring at your page looking at your knees…. And since no one cares how well she dresses she has not gotten any offers to sell their products on her page if she even has one…
great outfit! I love your blazer!
un saludo
il ove that blazer too! i missed it :(
oh and love it with that skirt .you look so great .and i know how you feel. i walked away from some boots at a great price because im so broke
maybe you'll find something similar .or post a picture of them .you have tons of fans im sure one of us knows a look alike you can buy online.
shoes are to die for, and i love colour play but only thing i don't like about this outfit is how high you pulled your skirt... it's just too high and makes you legs look fat although you have pair of killer legs... just few cenetemeters longer skirt would be perfect...
oh, i love your jacket!
it`sfabulous! ^^
xoxo
i loooove how you paired the floral bodysuit with the floral skirt, thats rather genius. And the cut of your blazer is sooo yum, I can completely see why you adore it ;)))
Love the skirt! You can do so many things with it!!

You sure have guts to wear the leotard without anything underneath!
You look fabulous xxx
I almost forgot!
When are you going to show us your room?
I'm dying to see your take on interior design xx
LOVE the peekaboo lace bodysuit and heels!
and im sure if you and those wedges were "meant to be" then it'll happen
http://fashionhandglide.blogspot.com
I have always loved this jacket. Great sunglasses.
I love how you paired everything ! Love the color of the blazer :)
love it
no offense or anything- but i've noticed nearly all your outfits this season are composed of a supercooltop (blazer/jacket optional) tucked into something with a reeeally short hemline and [killer] platform heels. basically i love you style, it would just be nice to see some different silhouettes
work the pasties girl! i don't think i could ever pull it off, but to each her own! haha! i just purchased 4.5 inch heels (on accident) and i'm still trying to learn to walk in them...you're my inspiration!
*and to Anon: seriously? if you're so hot, then why are you on this blog criticizing others? Usually those who have high self-esteem don't need to hate on others. so there's probably some self-hate there. hopefully you get rid of that.

that blazer is def to die for, and it is paired perfectly with that skirt!
The blazer is perfect fit and a nice splash of color here!

love that you wear PASTIES!!!
Great blazer!
oo lala
love the blazer and the shoes!
i love ur dress, u always have awesome style!!
Love your mustard blazer ;)
Hey Karla. I just thought I'd mention that your picture is in Estonian magazine Stiil (Style). The whole article talks about fashionblogs and stuff like that.
Take care.
Girl I am loving that Blazer! I want it =)
Love your blog, I look at it almost everyday.. Perfect =)

love the leotard!
The outfit is nice, but two questions:
1. How do you get around in such short skirts? Especially these sort of circle-skirts which are way more prone to flashing than for example, a bandage skirt would be! I'm both impressed and afraid for you here.
2. Did you leave the blazer on the whole day? Surely it's too hot in LA to be wearing a blazer, but I imagine it'd be too cold to wear a sheer lace leotard and some pasties?!
So much effort goes into your outfits, and the results are usually great but does functionality ever play a role in how you dress? Or is it simply about the look?
gaaah! how do you do it? a work of art
I put your blog in my favourites... it's great!!! congratulations!!! (kisses from Spain)
Girl I love your shoes!
Please read my blog.

the blazer is such a great vintage piece.
your hot...short skirt is sexy as hell...especially with the heels...you got great style...
pasties to top if off..wowzers
fashionbyhe.blogspot.com
Lovely look. The shoes are amazing!!
I love this jacket!
i am in love with your blazer as well! and you are so brave for wearing that mesh lace top with nothing underneath!
Your blazer is stunning!
Okay, about the Giuseppe's, if you dream about them when you go to bed, clearly you have to go get them. That is all I'm sayin'...
wow! best!!!
would you be my daddy?
My goodness, those Bebe platforms are gorgeous! You've got such a great eye for shapes & texture, they really echo that mustard jacket well, and I love the lace pattern with the skirt.
Writing this from my laptop on holiday. I just realised; do you still need a logo from me for your website? I can't send personal emails from this laptop, but can receive (jill@haybooks.com) if you want to arrange something. I've also found a great web designer for my friend, if you still need that I can put you two in touch.
Looks like you're having a lovely summer too!

Love the blazer, the colour is so original and it looks amazing on you, and I have say lot's of kudos for wearing pasties under a see through leotard, I would never feel comfortable, but your whole look just works so well
Love the lace bodysuit but there's just too much boobshowing. I'd never have the guts to wear it. You look great though.
I've always been a fan but lately you just look amazing, this outfit is perfect as usual. Love the jacket.
xo
That blazer is great but what I really love is that lace something underneath.
how cool is that the blazer doesn't have have lapels and the shape is great. great use of colors, the mustard yellow looks great on you!
love that blazer.. the fit is amazing
fashionminority.blogspot.com
I have no trouble understanding why that is one of your favourite pieces, the colour and shape are certainly not generic. It adds a nice pop to a monochrome outfit. Very nice!
Lol at the pasties, I don't think I could pull that off. Love the body suit.
i love your haircut, i want it in platinum blonde :)
Dang, this look is fierce!
Beautiful.
I wouldnt have had the courage to walk away from the zanotti's especially at a marked down price. bravo!

i adore the mustard blazer so much!

what blog template do you use?
Fabulous, as usual :)
The is something so sexy and sweet about a lace one piece. I want one in every color for the fall. Great layering piece, as you just proved.
love your sunnies
Hahahahahahahahahaha. I love that you're wearing pasties. I don't think I've ever actually heard of anyone besides strippers and Li'l Kim wearing them. Super clever idea, though. If anyone could pull it off, it's the fab Karla.
You're just beautiful!
You remind me Lisa Stansfield, a great 90's singer.
And i love your hair! :)
I'm in love with your blazer and the heels!!

amazing blazer
i love the color
That is one amazing blazer. It's suuuuch a great color and shape.
Your future daughter would be oh so stylish.
I'm always looking for vintage blazers.. Yours is gorgeous! I've been wondering what kind of camera you have.. Your pictures are so beautiful. :)
The two button closure on the blazer is fantastic.

OMG. your blazer is stunning. it seriously is.
Lovely colour! Suits you well!
great outfit! i am obsessed with both white lace and mustard yellow, so i basically want to copy the whole thing ;) you look great!
wow-
Oh god, know that feeling SO well, such a sinking feeling - like a stone in the pit of your stomach! My worst was with a Vivienne Westwood dress, I still look back and curse myself!
I envy your collection of fabulous shoes..
way too equal to one outifit you wore once, and i've seen it on this blog. The photo looks quite the same as the other one, you are wearing that orange blazer but somehow u looked way better that time. Now the lace leotard u have there, I mean, this doensn't even look like an outfit pulled out by yourself Karla. No offense but you used to be way more stylish some months ago. I just hope you innovate this Fall/Winter.
*Sigh* I love this outfit...I demand more!!! More!!! More!!!
Or atleast when you have time to post because I know sometimes life gets in the way...
In the meantime, I'll entertain myself with your other posts...
The color of your blazer is so pretty,
what a nice touch of color!
