Trail Blazer

theres nothing i love more then a well fitting blazer. I own about 5 and i started to collect them a couple of month ago. they have a great fit and are great for layering. i consider them to be the new cardigan. its a thought that blazers are interview clothes but THIS IS FALSE. blazers go great for every occasion. i wear them to dinner over a strapless mini dress or even to the movies with jeans and a vneck.  I was inspired by the Fall 2011 RTW line from Ruffian. There were so many blazers. Long blazers, short blazer, penguin cut, cropped cut. It was amazing and beautiful. So i thought i would post about the essential blazer and how to get a great blazer for a low price.

I buy most of my blazers from HM which we all know offers low prices on great finds. all under $50.

i also found a great blazer from NY & Co. who has the best sale rack i have ever seen for essentials like dress trousers, button down shirts, and blazers. all 30%-60% off

Happy Shopping.

does mix and match mean crazy bitch?

i have seen ladies wearing glitter mini skirts with patterned tops and different colored bags and i hear alot from girls what do you think of this trend? Mixing and matching is not a new thing but it has evolved in the last year or 2. Above the girl is wearing a lace dress, leopard wedges, and a navy blazer. this outfit looks great for a date night or shopping with the girls. if you want to learn to put together your own mix and match outfit you should think of these steps before proceeding:

-address the occasssion

-pick out you staples, ex. jeans, blazer, skirt, dress, etc.

-accessorize in opposites, ex. you are wearing a black blazer with a leopard lining that shows when u turn up the sleeves grab some gold glitter stillettos from steve madden or a red bag with royal blue shoes and navy skinny jeans.

These outfits are great because you can look fabulous by just buying separates from the fabulous finds section in forever 21 when everything is under $20. pair up these pieces and creates multiple complete looks.  mixing and matching can be fun but be careful, it can get wild when you put too many colors together and dont consider the consequences. 

happy shopping.
