Quick Look: The Blazer

A simple little jacket can do alot for a look. But if you're not ready to put on your moto jacket just yet, try the blazer. It instantly upgrades your ensemble and isn't just meant for the office. Below, Kate Hudson pairs is with a cream blouse (black and cream almost always look chic) and attains a sort of powerful girl-on-the-go persona.



You can also just pair it with an easy tee shirt. Try throwing a blazer over an AA deep v with skinny black pants and pumps. Comfort but presence, my friends. You'll look effortlessly pulled together, like this gal in an Elizabeth and James blazer.



Don't be afraid to go even more casual with the season staple. Put one over your favorite vintage rock tee, some precisely deconstructed demin and a pair of flats. Then go grab your Starbucks coffee and watch people try to tell if you're one of those perfectly casual but somehow pulled together celebs.

Lastly, if you have the money to invest in a quality blazer, do. You'll likely have it all your life. If not though, don't fret! Check you local resale store and see fashionistas lastest cast-offs. Still no? Hit the thrift store, baby. I found my most prized cream vintage blazer at a Goodwill for $2.99.

Blaze away, ladies.
