The Perfect Blazer...


Is long

ellery
But not too long. 

zara


And structured,
stella mccartney

without being starchy.
preen



Unique,
topshop


Zara

clover canyon

But not overly so.
versace


Textured,
rag & bone

but uniform.
a.wang

Oversized,
raquel allegra

But not frumpy. 
giada forte

Luxurious,
freda
Yet basically basic.

The perfect blazer is ever elusive,
infuriatingly intangible,
and absolutely necessary.

The hunt will, in all likelihood, consume the better portion of my online shopping hours and daytime fantasies,
and unless blessed with a spousal aquaintence of some noble inheritance - 
never come to fruition.
stella would be fruition.

I don't know what it is about these fierce-shouldered fiends, but they're certainly a woman's best weapon against nearly all that the workforce has to offer,
not to mention a whole host of unsolicited advances.

Because doesn't a lady in a sharp-looking blazer just exude sex, power and a take no B.S. 'tude??

I think I'll set aside the notion that the blazer's origins in men's clothing are what incites this undeniable confidence, and just take it for what it is - a modern day staple. 

Because who wants to over-think things on a Thursday?

Well, I do. 
But check out this self restraint. 

Cheers.

    So I know that your post is all about the perfect blazer but I am absolutely mesmerized by the model’s choice of footwear in the first picture. I wish I could wrap a satin(?) bag around my feet and look ever so chic.

    Awkward in Fashion.
