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.
