Keira Knightley in Elle, March 2010.
I apologize this is two work wear posts in a row, but I’m all about blazers & bling right now! I love love boyfriend blazers and I just couldn't stop myself from doing this post. Keira Knightley wore a really great blazer on the cover of Elle this past month (as shown above) and she glammed it up with a lot of sparkle!
I really love blazers either paired with extra feminine pieces (like ruffles, florals, or sparkles & bling like Keira) or with casual wear (white tees, jeans, oversized tees). I think these options keep the structured business-blazer from being too stuffy, and help make the transition from work time to fun time a little bit easier. I found a couple here I’m drooling over (and by a couple, I mean A LOT).
Aqua Fitted Girlfriend Blazer, $88(this seems like a very close look alike to Keira's blazer from Elle)
Loving that 2nd Aqua Blazer and there is a bloomies right across the street, so perhaps I shall try that one on for size. I have been hunting for the perfect blazer for quite some time now!
ReplyDeleteI love boyfriend blazers too! I have one I just bought a couple months ago from Madewell. Its super cute! If you check out my blog, the post before last - one of my favorite bloggers is featured there... her blazer outfit rocks.

Those are some great looks! I didn't have a blazer at all until very recently, but I've really been enjoying wearing it. Here's a sample: http://sweetfernhandmade.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-i.html

Keira looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteIn Highschool our dress code required us to wear blazers with our pants. Let me tell you, if these cute options existed then I would not have looked NEARLY as dykey/unfortunate for those formative years...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful selection of blazers. I love slightly oversize versions with rolled-up sleeves.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE love love these blazers!
ReplyDeleteI want every single one :D xxx
