How do I wear that trend…blazers

Feb 5, 2009 by cluelessfashionista

I just finished going through all of the comments I’ve gotten recently.  I love that there are people checking out the blog and sharing their thoughts.  I highly encourage it!  Keep up the comments, thoughts, suggestions and insights.

Ok, now on to another trend alert.  When I was looking into trends for 2009, I was pleased to discover that blazers were making a comeback on the trend scene.  Now don’t get me wrong, blazers have been around for years.  They started out as something men would wear and eventually seeped into the closets of ladies as well.  So they haven’t ever actually left but it’s great to see them on the list of trends for 2009.

I love the way a good blazer can make an outfit look instantly more polished and pulled together.  I used to stay away from them personally because I’m a bit top heavy and I have a hard time with clothes that button down the front.  I get that annoying buckle effect and I think that makes the piece of clothing look too small even if it isn’t.  However, I am going to take the leap and join the rest of the ladies wearing blazers.  The great thing about blazers is that they come in so many different fabrics so you can own more than one and achieve a separate type of look with each one.

Ok this is what I’m going to do.  I’m going to go out there and find a few blazers and put together a few different blazer looks and post those pictures for you to see.  Now, I’m not a stylist by any means and I don’t consider myself a trendy person (I am a Clueless Fashionista) but I will use this exercise to broaden my ability to put together pieces.

I challenge you to do the same thing.  Get a blazer or two and put together a few different looks.  I’d love to feature your looks as well as mine.  Once you get the pictures together, send me a message and I will send you an email about where to send the pictures.  I have to keep my email addresses away from the spammers so I won’t post it here.

So good luck with the blazer project and I look forward to seeing your pictures!
