Rolled up my sleeves


Blazer: Forever 21; Jeans: Gap; Top: H&M; Boots: Marshall's

I went through a blazer and jacket phase several years ago and purchased quite a few of them and this is one that I've held on to.  It's funny how adding a jacket or a blazer to can make a difference in an outfit.  The opportunity to wear jackets and blazers are one of my favorite things about spring time.  Blazers are usually too heavy to bother with during the summer and they don't always fit under coats with other clothing layers in the winter, so spring is really the perfect time to wear them.  I'm partial to cropped sleeved versions of blazers during this time of year.  This blazer has an awkward sleeve length and not quite 3/4 sleeve length, but I remedy that by rolling up the sleeves.  One of these days, I'll learn how to sew so I can alter them properly...

  8. I love that your blazer is patterned! I'm definitely a spring/fall blazer wearer, cannot fit them under coats at all, I don't know how people do it (I look like a sausage).
