Just Blaze: The Blazer Steps Out Of The Boardroom

What's one of the hottest
coverings for Spring?

It's our usually buttoned up corporate companion, the blazer! And this Spring it's time to roll up the sleeves and get down to the real order of business-looking fabulous. The good news is, you may not have to buy a thing to sport this trend. It very well may be already hanging up in your closet (if not, there's some great options out there for you). Instead of pairing the blazer up with usual suspects (i.e. a matching pant or skirt), choose edgier pieces like a mini skirt or a ultra feminine floral dress. Avoid going preppy and mix it up with something unexpected like leather. All those in agreeance with this trend say "I" (in that case, meeting adjourned). Is the blazer a look you'll pull off?
