So yes, I said it already in my previous review of Being Mary Jane, and I’m saying it again, I love Mary Jane Paul’s character on the BET show “Being Mary Jane”. And as a corporate sister with fashion on my mind, you know I also love Mary’s sense of fashion. One of her fashion staples on the show, which also happens to be one of my favorite, basic go-to’s as part of my corporate wardrobe, is the blazer. Not just when temperatures cool down but also as a standard wardrobe staple!
I actually used to not be much of a fan of blazers. Too old looking! Not hip enough! Borderline boring…until I started looking around and noticing with much fashion delight that gone are the days of the stuffy, boring blazer! The modern blazer is fresh, edgy, and bright, just like this sunny yellow piece Mary Jane is sporting in our picture above. And to boot, the modern blazer is not just a professional wardrobe investment, as it can be recycled with the right pair of jeans on a casual Friday or on the week-end, or merchandised with some serious bling on a night out on the town…
Schoolboy blazer – Jcrew.com – $178
That’s why for our lunch break pick, we are having a “fashion-gasm” on this blue schoolboy blazer from J. Crew. At $178, it may just be the most fashionable, colorful and still professional-looking investment you may make right now…And it’s just calling Spring…
