Spring Blazers

Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog-

I hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day!

Blazers and all types of jackets are great layering pieces for this time of year

Blazers are almost universally appropriate, 

and there is a style to flatter every every body! 

Oversized blazers are very much on trend for spring

 I have collected a few over the past couple of seasons,

but they are a little tricky for some of us to wear, including me 

So for this post, I an styling two jacket styles that I am wearing currently

They are alternatives to the oversized fit but stylish and classic forever 

For my first outfit, I am wearing a wheat color blazer

with a bit of a 70's retro vibe

It has the puffed sleeve caps that were popular then and back again, now

 and a slightly fitted cut

The blazer is made of a textured cotton weave that is perfect for the bridge seasons

I wore it on the blog last October, mixed with fall colors-it is truly versatile

It's hard to miss that there is a whole lot of orchid going on in this outfit! 

The orchid tank top and super full orchid midi skirt get a bit of a tone down 

under the neutral jacket

I choose bold jewelry to balance the bold color

A daisy chain mixed metal statement necklace,

 silver tone multi band open cuff, and dome stud earrings

Carrying my vintage reptile embossed bag

I usually tuck the cord shoulder strap inside

but it can be worn both ways

I have been wearing this cute knotted headband a lot this spring

Brown and beige asymmetrical strap sling backs

to finish the look 

A cropped boxy Chanel style jacket is a 

 tried and true classic that never goes out of style

This one feels spring like in a pink and white tweed

 with white braided trim on the pockets

Worn with ivory tailored trousers from J Crew

Why did they use a tortoise shell button on these pants?

I need to change it to a white one 

Accessorizing with a vintage pink and lavender feather design neck scarf

For jewelry, I chose a gold tone knot bracelet 

and pink pave flower shaped rhinestone earrings 

Carrying a pale lavender croc embossed mini handle bag

I have had these shoes for a while

but I haven't been wearing them much until lately 

I love the color, but the heel is high

  Getting them out today, because I found them to be a perfect match for this bag

 

Blazer love. A bright turquoise blazer from spring, 2018

I still have this one, and need to wear it again, soon

It's such a bright and cheerful color!

It's been a very wacky spring, weather wise this year

 Very unseasonably cool

Much rain, high winds and temperatures in the low 50's!

It's more like typical March weather for this area

The flowers, flowering trees and bushes are so confused

I'm happy to see the Azaleas 🌸 are blooming and beautiful,

 in spite of the mixed signals Mother Nature is sending   

Hope everyone has a good week!
