Hello Fans of Fashion,
Hope all is well in the world of dress-up.
For my first fashion post, I was inspired by my 2WBT1 label. However, with the item I chose, I couldn't stop at only two. Blazers are the perfect piece to use year round and are generally fairly easy to find secondhand if you don't already own one. My mustard, sweater blazer is one of my favorite items in my closet and the possibilites for it are endless.
Because blazers are such a versatile item, I have decided to show you ways that you can incorporate yours into your look all year long. This week, 4WBT1 because a blazer is the most stellar way to celebrate each of the four seasons.
Spring: Spring is a great time to pull out a mini, but wearing one can leave you feeling chilly in breezy weather. Adding a blazer, allows you to bring out the "sunny weather" items you have been waiting to wear all winter long, while maintaining your warmth on those windy, spring days. With this look, I am wearing a shirt that I have held on to for years. Keep unique items around. They just may cycle back in to style. I have decided to add a strappy wedge to add a little height and a look that is great for the sunlit weather.
Summer: Summer is approaching and it is a fabulous time to mix and match color palettes in order to add a "bright" idea to your look. ;) With this, I added pops of color to an otherwise neutral, strapless, flared-mini dress. Because it is strapless, draping your blazer over the shoulders is superb for a summer evening stroll.
Fall: Fall is a spectacular time for my +a label. Adding warmer accessories to your outfit will create an autumn ready look. Here, I have decided to add patterned tights, a pair of retro ankle boots with a heal (RR-Embrace Secondhand), and a light weight scarf that I have tied into a bow for my specific style prefrence.
Winter: Winter is the season for layers. Your blazer will be an accomplished item to help you layer in style. In this photo, I have combined my sweater blazer with a snug fit turtle neck, a pair of warm, wedge, winter boots, a wool scarf, and my favorite pair of retro, high waisted pants that were originally owned by my Grandmother over 20 years ago. (RR-Embrace Secondhand.) Adding a belt as an accessory(+a), may give your look a finished pop of modern flare.
Using one specific item in multiple ways throughout the year, is one way to enhance your wardrobe while saving money. Buying a new item for each season can put a damper on your budget and less room in your closet. Remember, your favorite item is meant to be worn, so don't be afraid to get creative with it.
Stay lovely,
