The Blazer.

{jacket: Zara | tee: Loft | jeans: Paige denim | shoes: Banana Republic | earrings: DIY (idea from here)}

You might not know it yet since this blog is rather new, but I LOVE blazers. They are my go-to item. Wearing a blazer at work allows me to wear "less dressy" tops underneath. Why is this important? Because I like to buy tops that I want to wear, not just tops that people at work think I should want to wear. A blazer lets me fancy up a racer back tank or even a t-shirt, and then I still want to wear those items when I am not at work! Genius. This blazer/tee combo was worn to work with dress pants, and then I simply switched out the pants for jeans for a lovely night out with some lady friends. Classic. Easy. Smart (less laundry!).
