outfit recipe-black blazer, white t

A black blazer with jeans is my version of a super hero suit. It sits in my closet always ready to work its powers. It has many powers but my favorite is the ability to make me look chic and put together in an instant. Chic like, “Yeah, I’m chic, but I don’t try to be, it just is.”  A black blazer is a good piece to invest in. You can find them almost anywhere and at almost any price point, but to go the extra mile and get a good one will reward you ten fold. I’ve had this Theory one for over ten years now and it looks brand new and timeless. I can throw it on with Target ts and flip-flops and it still works its magic. Or I can dress it up over a cocktail dress with heels or punk it up with shorts, boots and lots of accessories. I always feel perfectly dressed in it. Karl Lagerfeld said “One is never over or under dressed in a little black dress.” I feel the same way about this blazer-little, black, bold, super. And for putting myself together for work or a meeting while getting the kids to school, well let’s just say I need a hero.
