In A Blazer Frame of Mind

SoX — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 20:09:30 GMT

This is the time of year I usually "fall" for blazers and am constantly on the hunt for a few of my favorite articles of clothing to spruce of my wardrobe.

I recently purchased from Stacy London's October collection in Corduroy, and Denim & Company's Velvet blazers in Chocolate Brown and Black and Mallard (advanced orders).

From J Crew, I found a Wool Boucle "shrunken" blazer in "Dry Timber." I'm petite so this is right up my alley at 23+ inches (shown below) ...

What are you seaching for this fall in your favorite category, if anything?

Darn you. You made me look at the new Stacy London blazer. I had already bought one of the shorter ones a few weeks ago and liked it so I looked at the new corduroy blazer and bought the tobacco.

That tobacco is awesome ... I ordered both colors.

I succumbed to this one from Talbots. I call it my Hogwarts blazer.

@Bookplate - that is a super cool blazer! Love it. Went to Talbots. They really have a big selection of blazers. I want the one you bought!

Alas, I am also a sucker for a good blazer! We have such a limited fall/ winter season where I live but I love a good blazer or chic cardigan to finish off an outfit.

You have made some beautiful choices. You have very good taste. You are going to look very special in all these beautiful clothes. Thank you for sharing these pictures with us and telling us about what you are going to wear. When you are dressed in all this, do you mind being your own photography and share with us!?! PLEASE

My DIL bought a J Crew blazer tonight. It's a fitted at the waist, similar color but longer version. She is tall and very long waisted.

We both love J Crew. My daughter doesn't shop at J Crew so I enjoy my DIL who likes to shop with me and share pictures. She's a beautiful person and very, very sweet, a good mother, a good wife, the best DIL in the world.

Well, your hogwarts blazer is a beauty!

@Nonametoday ... thanks for your sweet compliment. I have a weakness for blazers and wear them all the time, mostly with plain jeans or corduroy pants, sneakers or boots; and a tee shirt, crew neck or turtleneck, depending on the weather. That's me on any given day.

And, while I enjoy others who post what they wear, I'd rather not...

Your daughter-in-law sounds like a beautiful young woman ... you two have a great relationship ... much like my granddaughter and I ... who gets her share of my blazers every year, LOL.

I have a lot of blazers, and I wasn't really searching for anything, but I'm taking a chance on the recent D&C velvet pants. I was trying to decide between 2 colors and ended up getting both and one more!

I plan to wear these as winter pants, with long-sleeved shirts and sweaters and the blazers I already have. I have to look polished (no jeans) during the week, but I don't want to look dressy. If they look too dressy I will probably not keep them. I usually wear black or navy, and I stepped out of my comfort zone and ordered the brown! I have a Linea blazer that will look great with them - I hope!

@beach-mom ... I also ordered the D&C velvet pants in brown, black, and green. I think they will look great with your (our) Linea blazers. I've been searching for dark, chocolate brown color. I think these will be a good choice.

@SoX - I really like that J Crew blazer. The style and color are perfection. Hope you enjoy it.

I like blazers on others but I don't care for them on myself.

Love that J. Crew blazer. You made a great choice. I can really see that on a petite woman. Could I someday borrow it?

@SoX I totally understand and that is the way both my daughter and my DIL wear their blazers, with cords, jeans, casual or dressy pants or skirts and it always looks special the way they wear them and I know yours is that way. I don't like to post "me and what I wear" but I don't mind, like you, posting what I purchase to wear.

Happy wearing and happy Autumn and Winter. You are going to be outstanding in those oufits.

Isn't it fun to have family members to shop and share with. That's the best kind of lady friend, someone who undestands our hearts and our desires.

I plan to get a light weight Blazer this winter, but it needs to be a longer Blazer, not too short! And definitely light weight as I get way too hot.......

@SoX , the blazers you posted photos of are really nice. I'm partial to the first photo and the dark brown blazer, as dark brown is my favorite color. Enjoy your purchases.
