The Perfect Checked Blazer (and some others I love!)

Blazer | Shirt | Belt

If you follow me on instagram, you know that I am an absolute sucker for a good blazer. Whenever my outfit feels incomplete, I’ll chuck on a blazer and instantly feel put-together. When I finally decided to get serious about building a closet of items I loved, I created a list of pieces I wanted to add to complete my wardrobe. At the top of that list was the perfect brown checked blazer.

I browsed casually for a while until I came across this one from &Other Stories, but was afraid I was being too hasty. After two months, I couldn’t get it out of my head and finally took the leap and ordered it and I couldn’t be more in love! I wanted a blazer that had a decent wool percentage and felt lightweight. The subtle hints of pink in the blazer are absolute perfection and I love that it’s double breasted. I’ve worn it pretty much every day since it arrived! Let me know if you guys would like to see a look-book to styling checked blazers!

Have I convinced you to add one to your closet? If so, I have some of my top picks for every pricepoint down below!

Checked Blazer

Under $100

Stepping outside for the first time in a while fel Stepping outside for the first time in a while felt surreal. Since quarantine began, I’ve made every effort to avoid leaving the house and lately I’ve been a little stir crazy. It’s been so beautiful and sunny here in Hawaii. Sometimes it’s easy to forget how incredibly lucky we all are. I live in an area near the mountains and everyday I take that for granted. Today I stopped and admired them, so green and scenic. Taking the time to enjoy the little things in life is so important. What are some things you’ve taken for granted today?
