Blazing Hot!

The blazer. It's not just considered men's work attire any longer! Introducing the boyfriend blazer. This updated version of the men's power suit is ultra chic and sleek! Among many reasons why this piece needs to find it's way into your closet, it will actually complement your shape! Since blazers cinch your waistline, you are elongating the frame. Not only is it slimming, but ultra versatile!

For a vintage inspired look, pair this with a cotton dress that is flowy and not super form fitting. This will create more of a casual appeal. Make sure the hem hits just above that of the dress. If the hem is the length of the dress or long, you are going to look sloppy and unpolished.

No doubt, the 80's has made a major comeback in the fashion world. Go with a boxy, double breasted blazer over leggings or skinny jeans. This look may sound like one for fall, but try a bright coral blazer over white skinnys for a summer chic look. The nice thing about the longer blazer is that you can hide any insecurities you may have with your thighs. (Which is most of us right?)

My ultimate favorite way to wear the blazer is cropped with a pair of tailored shorts. You can go with white shorts, printed top and solid blazer with a gold necklace. OR go printed shorts and tone it down a little with a white or navy blazer to offset your patterned shorts. Don't go overboard. At least one of your pieces needs to remain solid to avoid color or print overload! For a dressier look, finish off with a wedge. To flirt with your Bohemian side, go with strappy gladiator sandals!
