Everybody, Everwear: The Classic Blazer

After the last Everybody, Everywear I decided that I would balance my office-wear and my casual-wear to create an outfit that was bold and fun - who wouldn't want that. Well, turns out this EBEW is smack dab in the middle of my remix challenge, limiting my pieces to work with from office-wear to office-wear-included-in-my-30for30. So, I sacrificed a little on the office-wear side to allow more room for the casual-wear side. This is one of bonuses of working in an office that a. Is in Nova Scotia, we're all pretty relaxed compared to the rest of y'all b. Is located in a business park, downtown offices are definitely more conservative - running into clients and all and c. has a production facility and engineers in addition to the office staff, hint: they both wear jeans day-to-day.

This was my first-ever, Katrina Tuttle purchase as well as one of my first patterned pieces, so it holds a special place in my heart. When I dress this casual, I tend to include a belt. However, when dressing for the office a belt takes much needed inches away from the hemline, ergo no belt. To make it office appropriate the blazer is a definite must, and the flat boots add to the modesty. I love my blazer. I could not imagine a piece I love more than this blazer. If you have been following long, you know how often I can wear this blazer if I'm not careful. Needless to say, I was over-the-moon when the lovely Linda and Liz announced that the next item would be a blazer. I can't wait to see how everyone else has styled their blazers, or what the next EBEW item will be!
