How to Wear Blazers for Summer!

It’s starting to heat up a bit! Which means a lot of our winter and fall clothes are put away. But there’s one thing I will be bringing into my summer outfits and that’s blazers! I’ve been seeing more outfits pairing blazers with bralettes and I am loving it! This jacquemus outfit here is one of my favorites and a huge inspiration for this outfit.

It’s a great way to make masculine blazers look more feminine and also more weather appropriate for warm summer nights. This look would also pair great with a pair of strappy heels or sandals but I thought Birkenstocks would be a good simple and comfortable shoe for this look.

ALSO I AM SO HAPPY TO FINALLY START BLOGGING AGAIN! I haven’t posted a blog since March when everything basically went into lock down. I finally bought a remote for my iphone camera so that I can take more outfit photos at home myself. I can’t wait to share on here again!

Styling an Oversized Blazer

Oversized blazers have been everywhere lately! They can be a little tricky to style especially with how they can swallow someone’s figure and can be hard to look flattering. They might be a pass for some people but I have actually loved wearing oversized blazers this season. I found this particular one a couple months ago while thrifting and it reminded me of my dad. He would always wear a blazer and slacks to work so it’s kind of a cool piece to have reminding me of him!

If you’re having a hard time making the oversized fit look flattering, you can always add a belt! Just a simple belt around the waist line can give the blazer a more feminine shape and not feel so overwhelming. Another thing I like to do to make it less masculine is obviously pairing it with more feminine pieces. Heels or a cute bootie is a great way to tone down the masculine feel and give it a effortless boss women spin.

How are you styling oversized blazers this year? Are you into the trend or not so much?

Summer to Fall Look

As much as I’m sure we all want summer to stick around forever, it’s time to face the music…fall is just around the corner! I’m sure so many of you are excited about fall too though! One of the toughest things about summer coming to an end is trying to figure out wtf to wear. It’s starting to cool down but still a little too warm for serious layers or boots. So I thought this outfit would be a good example of a transitional look for summer to fall.

Blazers are a STAPLE. A MUST HAVE. A GO TO for fall for me! They’re so easy to find at a vintage shop or thrift store. And so many brands make beautiful ones as well that are perfectly tailored and the best kind of oversized fit (like this one I am wearing!) But blazers are such a good transitional piece for summer to fall. You can pair them with dresses, skirts, sandals, tanks…all of your summer pieces but the blazer eases you into fall.

Another alternative, especially if you commute for your work, is paring this look with sneakers like I did in the bottom images. I know these shoes are a bit of a statement, which is partially why I love them so much…Acne Studios can do no wrong!! But if these sneakers are too intimidating, a good classic pair of Adidas or Nike’s would be great with this look as well. It’s really all up to you! That’s what we all love about fashion and style right? 😉

Side note: AUrate has some reallyyy cute jewelry if you’re looking for a new jewelry brand to crush on. They sent this twisted ring and it’s just a great simple layering piece!

I love those pieces that can easily be worn from season to season. Blazers are definitely the perfect piece to wear from Winter into Spring. Another easy versatile item to dress up with heels or dress down with a pair of sneakers.
To make them cooler and lighter for spring, I like wearing them with casual tees and sandals or slip ons. For this look, I wanted to dress up the simple white tee so I wore one of my nicer slip on mules. But I think this look would look great with a pair of sneakers also to give that real casual, laid back and effortless look. OR to really dress it up, I think a pair of strappy heels would look SOO GOOD too.

Are you guys sick of seeing this basket bag yet?! Haha I’ve been wearing it with pretty much everything ever since I got it two years ago. It’s starting to show some wear but I love how it looks with so many different outfits. And it is the perfect accessory for a vacation in California.

Alrightyyyy I am going to from here on out make a serious effort to put out blog posts twice a week again! Flickr is still down so it’s putting a serious cramp in my posting schedule lol but I have SO many outfits I want to share!! <3 And make sure to check out my latest Youtube video if you haven’t yet!!!
