Is it bad that I’m just not a big fan of blazers?
Don’t get me wrong, I know there’s few things more classic than a great blazer, especially in the fall. They’re so versatile, and can dress up almost any outfit, with minimal effort.
I have a couple of blazers that I’ve accumulated over the years, and as much as I love them, I just feel as though they’re not really “me.” My personal style is a bit more casual, so I prefer to wear cardigans or my leather jacket when I add a layer onto an outfit. I also don’t find blazers comfortable, since they’re quite refining and stiff.
Of course, I’m not a complete hater, especially since I found a great blazer a few weeks ago. This blazer is softer and less structured than most other styles…and it’s floral.
Yes, florals. Again. So sue me!
A floral blazer is clearly different than a floral dress or tank. If you disagree, then you’re probably not a shopoholic 🙂
What I’m Wearing:
Blazer – H&M (Similar)
Top – Free People via Hudson’s Bay (Similar)
Pants – Gap (Similar, Similar)
Necklace – Street Vendor In Punta Cana (Similar)
Shoes – Wishbone via Brown’s Shoes (Similar)
Are you a “blazer person”?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks it’s okay! 🙂
Maddy says
I am totally a blazer person. I have really broad shoulders so I find that they flatter me way more than cardigans. My big shoulders prefer the structure!
You look great in this blazer 🙂

I think they look great on people, and cardigans just don’t always cut it. It would explain a lot though, since I have very small shoulder!

Thank you!

I love the blazer! It looks more relaxed than a traditional blazer! I really like the top/necklace combo and your beautiful curls. You give me serious hair envy.
Jackie says
That’s why I love this blazer so much. It’s very unstructured.
You could totally achieve the wavy curls – it’s all in the curling iron technique!
Ivete says
You know, I felt the same way about blazers. I was never a big fan until I found a particular style that fit me great and then I was hooked and bought it in three colors! Lol… This floral one looks great on you. And I am loving your necklace!

I’ve been wanting a floral blazer for a few seasons now and this outfit is exactly why! They’re the perfect pop of color and just oh so amazing! Such a great look!

Jackie says
I couldn’t find it online, but you should check out H&M. I’m sure you could find one there!
Meghan says
No! I totally get it. Blazers are not my cup of tea at all. I have one structured one and one knit one that I like but that’s it. This one is definitely you though.
Jackie says
I didn’t realize it was such a love or hate subject for people! 🙂

I’m a blazer person, but that’s because I feel like they give things a more polished feel than cardigans do. But I definitely get what you mean about feeling stuffy. I started off the day with a blazer, but it was too tight for the shirt I was wearing under it, so I took it off before I even sat down in my office. I think this floral one looks great on you though! Maybe boyfriend blazers would be more up your alley?
Sam says
Jackie, this is a good blazer. The floral print is so pretty and I adore how you styled it.

For someone that’s not into blazer, you definitely hit the jackpot with this floral one. I have been on a hunt for the perfect floral blazer! This one fits you very well. The best part is that you can wear it in the spring too!

Blazers are my bread and butter and my biggest weakness. How you are to florals is how I am to blazers :). HOWEVER, I can’t believe I don’t yet have a floral blazer! Love that you went for a casual vibe with this

How funny- I’m the same way, except flip-flopped. I love cardigans, but will always reach for a blazer over a cardi because the blazer feels more like me.
This floral pieces is awesome on you! Love the styling. 🙂

I totally get it. I love a good blazer and have several, but I wear them less than you would think. I always think they look so chic on other people and try to figure out how to wear them. I love this floral number on you!

I definitely feel the same way you do! I’m really not fan of blazers…I can never make them look quite right, and much like yourself, I prefer something more casual to layer with. But I can see why you opted for this blazer–the print is so much fun, and the shape looks ultra comfortable! I love how you’ve styled it! Here’s to hoping I find a blazer of my dreams on day!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving some sweet words! It completely made my day. I love your blog!!

So happy you found a blazer that you love, and what an adorable one! I think everyone has those pieces that just don’t work for them (I cannot pull off hats or maxi skirts), so it’s always exciting when you find one that does. I seriously love this blazer!
