Dress It Up With A Blazer!


Folding up with sleeves keeps the blazer casual.

Blazer: Gap (almost 10 years ago!) / Top: Target / Jeans: Refashioned by me /
Necklace: Made by Me

As a Mama of 2 little girls my everyday style is casual.  I need to be able to run around after tiny humans! 
My favourite way to make my casual outfits look a bit more pulled together and dressed up is to wear a blazer.  I'll usually fold the cuffs up to tie in with the casual look (also a great way to disguise sleeves that are a little too short!). 

From my previous corporate working life I have loads of blazers and suit jackets so rather than leave them languishing in my closet I like to take them out and about every once and a while!

How do you like to dress up your casual looks?

    A blazer is such a great way to dress up a casual look. I have been meaning to get over and visit your blog and I must admit this is my first visit. I love your style. Do you find it hard to buy clothes for your tall frame? I'm 5ft 10 and sleeve and leg lengths are never quite long enough for me. Loving your blog. Thanks for linking up with me today. Bron x

      Thank you so much for stopping by Bron, I'm so pleased you did! I do find it hard to find clothes that fit. One of my goals for this blog is to give sewing / refashioning tips to make clothes longer. x Allison

    Blazers look so great with jeans and on you. I wish I could wear them. I'm only 5'3' and still waiting for my breast to deflate after sopping breastfeeding, so they can make me look stocky at the moment.

    Such a great idea for all those tall girls. It must be so frustrating having to lengthen your clothes. Shortening them can be annoying but, lenthening is in another ballpark. Zoe xx

      Hi Zoe! I'm sure a cropped blazer would look great on you, and by leaving it open it wouldn't look boxy. My sister in law is your height and she rocks a cropped blazer! x Allison

    I love blazers too and this one is great with those ripped jeans. It's structured with a hint of rebel. Love it!
