Today's Everyday Fashion: The Draped Blazer
/
Last week I talked about this trend that's been popping up everywhere lately - draping your jacket or blazer over your shoulders. I gave it two thumbs up with my motorcycle jacket last week (here), but this pink blazer didn't fare so well. It looks cute from the front, but from the back... just... no. It's a bit of an optical illusion, as if my arms are through the arm holes, and I've got a big lump on my back!
So I'll just wear this look the regular way, with my arms safely inside my jacket. I will take any excuse to wear this pink tweed blazer and I love the idea of pairing it with lighter neutrals to make it more seasonally appropriate for fall and spring!
