What to Wear Wednesday: The Saavy Blazer

Do not buy the lie that you cannot wear a blazer if you do not have a business meeting to attend. That is absolute poppycock!! (That’s a nicer choice of word than what originally popped in my head…) It took me awhile to get into wearing blazers, even to business meetings!! I hesitated to buy one. I went birthday shopping with a friend, about 3 years ago and he bought it for me as a gift! It is navy with gold buttons and three quarter length sleeves. I started to play around with it and wore it to work. I wore it with patterned pants, with skinny jeans, boots, and long necklaces. I have tried it with skirts and over dresses. There are so many ways to wear it!! Pair it with a graphic tee, a boyfriend jean, and some neutral or patterned flats!  JCrew makes some stellar blazers. I also really like Banana Republic for classic blazers. You can usually find some fun ones while thrifting too 😀 I’ve since bought a teal one, a white one, a neon yellow one that zips, and a blush colored one with polka dots, pictured below. LOVE.

 As per usual, I have rounded up some visuals for you, via Pinterest. A variety of looks and tastes. My fave is halfway down – a Khaki green blazer with a tulle skirt. Take a look :

Blazers are a great addition to your wardrobe, all year round!!! Pick one, work it, and enjoy. Cheers!!

What to Wear Wednesday: Animal Print Shoes

Although I would wear animal print shoes anytime of the year, they seem to fit in seamlessly with my fall wardrobe. The browns, blacks, and beiges act as printed neutrals and add the best “pop” to any outfit. Casual, dressy, somewhere in between, there is a look that will suit you. The beauty of animal print on your feet is that it doesn’t seem quite as loud as a cardigan or  cheetah pants 😉 You can ease yourself into a pair and go from there. I bought the pair above (and below) last year from Lauren Conrad’s line at Kohls (www.kohls.com) . I wore them for our engagement shoot last year with Caleb’s cousin Josh (www.joshdookhiephotography.com).

I love an awesome animal print shoe!! Cheetah is my favourite, but there are a few different options. Here are a few styles and patterns that I have found and love. A mix of flats, heels, and booties.

Isn’t that orange tip pair delicious??!!

And how cute is British television icon Fearne Cotton??!! I am LOVING her leopard print obsession and all of her looks…

Last year, around this time, I scored these adorable tie up, leopard print oxfords (below) with a red sole at Marshalls! They’re Dolce Vita and I adore them. I am loving that cardigan and skinnies weather is BACK in full swing!

I plan to wear my leopard heels for my 30th birthday this month 😉 Pictures to come. Rock your animal print! Be sure to send me photos. I can’t wait to see your outfits!!

Cheers!!

XOXO
