A blazer, is a blazer, is a blazer. So when you find a blazer that is just hands-down fabulous, then you have gone from “basic blazer” to “amazing jacket”. This ruffle front jacket by Sonia Speciale is one of those finds. You can wear this jacket on its own with black pants, jeans, a pencil… Read more…

One of my favorite websites for perusing is Avenue Apart. It’s an e-commerce fashion website that allows you to buy products from international boutiques. No need to travel to Italy or Argentina to shop from that designer you adore, but whose products aren’t available in the United States. Plus, when someone compliments you on your… Read more…

This week’s selected set from TheWorkingWardrobe Polyvore group was curated by closetcoach. Here she features five examples of well-fitting blazers. She points out that these would be flattering both at the office and out and about on the weekend! A blazer with skinny pants and pumps during brunch perhaps?

I’m really feeling blazers these days, and lucky for all of us, they’re the very definition of work-appropriate.
