I'm pretty sure I copied this look from Kendi. But I don't know why I'm bothering to tell you that since pretty much all my outfits are copied from Kendi. So, let's move on. Blazers and dresses. Yet ANOTHER reason to love blazers. If you haven't gotten the picture by now, blazers are a girl's best friend. It doesn't matter what size or body type you are, if you find a blazer in the right cut it can be your secret weapon in taking an outfit up a notch. Wear it over dresses, dress up jeans and a plain tee, dress up shorts, or wear it for work. It will be your BFF 4 life. (Hmm...looks like a One Piece Different Ways blazer edition needs to come soon...)
Besides watching some of the Olympics, we spent the weekend building Ikea furniture. I know, we are old and boring. Maybe that's why I have blazers for best friends...

Ohhh I love Ikea! The shopping part though, not the building... I always end up with 5 or more extra screws at the end which is never a good sign.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute outfit - I wish it wasn't so hot here and I could toss a blazer over my dresses!
The perfect mix of cute and professional!
ReplyDeleteI like "BFF" because you are so right! Blazers can transform any outfit. I love the print of your dress and the navy blue blazer. Hmmm, I might copy off you! :)
ReplyDeletewhat a great look for work! xo

I never owned blazers before... then I bought one, and boom, now I own 4. Jeez! They are great, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI started by wearing a simple dress to at the wedding ceremony, then added the blazer at the reception hall. A/C is chilling.
ReplyDeleteHaha, this is very Kendi...but I love the way you're wearing it! That bag is just the perfect accompaniment to the outfit..and you know how much I covet those orange pumps!

ReplyDeleteCreamy
I'd say those shoes of yours are really the best friend. The blazer comes in at an astonishingly close second, is all.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, I'm obsessed with my blazers and can't wait to wear them again come fall :)

In DIRE need of some cute blazers! Ikea furniture sounds exciting to me... maybe I'm old and boring too then... haha
ReplyDeleteOr maybe that means we need to be friends. :)
ReplyDeleteLet's go with that option! ;)
ReplyDeleteI want this outfit in my life NOW! It would be the perfect first day of school outfit! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered the orange-red pumps! Alot of the comments said they were uncomfortable...What do think?
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it, but I think it's true! Not the most comfortable shoes, but I wear them with insoles and heel liners, which amps up the comfort level tremendously.
ReplyDeleteI like this outfit on you. I so agree blazers is a must for girls/women alike it just flare up with any style.
