Lookbook: Weekend Brunch With Khaki And Porcini

Remember my khaki Banana Republic blazer I got for $27.99? Well I ended up getting a price adjustment and got an additional 20% off! Woohoo! They normally don't do that but they made an exception so it never hurts to ask! My Ann Taylor Porcini pumps came on Friday and this is what I wore out this weekend:
Top: H & M Ruffle Shell- size 2
Jeans: H & M Young- size 11/12 (similar HERE in 00SHORT)
I had to roll up the sleeves because they are a bit too long but luckily the inside is lined with cute white stripes so it looks like I did it on purpose! 
Sorry for the plain face and nude lips- I didn't feel like putting on a full face of makeup when I'm not working. This blazer fits nicely and the length isn't too long. Not sure if I can make it work for a business outfit but I liked how it looked with this ensemble.
Here's what it looks like w/the blazer buttoned. I prefer it unbuttoned especially because I want to show off my ruffles! My Ann Taylor Porcini pumps fit better than the granite suede pumps! They are slightly a bit smaller- not by much but just enough to make a difference. So I was pretty pumped about that! I will be keeping both pairs and making them work!
Do you notice how my shirt is untucked? It's really uncomfortable for me NOT to tuck in shirts- I feel frumpy and weird but this top, I tried tucking it for work and it just doesn't work. So with jeans and a blazer- it is a must! But I think it looks good even though it's slightly a bit longer than the blazer....any thoughts?

This is a bit random but I am on the hunt for some jeans. I want to track down the perfect pair so I have placed an order for some petite gap ones in 00 (got on sale for $24.99) and am looking to try a size 23 in Rock and Republic. Stay tuned for a review on those!  I'm not sure why I am on this crazy hunt because I know it's pointless and I never wear jeans enough to get my money's worth but what the heck :)

That's all from me! I have some fitting room reviews but it's too much to post so I will do it for Wednesday's post!!! Stay tuned!
