Statement Blazer

This blazer literally makes a one word statement; it’s covered with “je’taime” which is French for “I love you”. J’adore this piece! It’s a classic blazer dipped in romance and whimsy, the perfect balance of masculine and feminine energies. A statement blazer makes fabulous transitional outerwear. NYC, like most of the world from what I’m hearing, has been experiencing batshit crazy weather lately. Two weeks ago it was 90 degrees, today it’s 50 and pouring. Seasons are sadly no longer predictable weather wise due to the climate crisis, and (on a superficial level) I like to be prepared with a variety of outerwear options that are still seasonally appropriate. I don’t care if it’s cold out; it’s almost May goddamit and my winter coats are in the attic already, where they shall remain for the next 6 months. This blazer is sooooo versatile because of its neutral cream and black color scheme. It can look good over tons of looks ranging from casual (jeans and a tee) to cocktail (a silk slip dress in any color, a mini dress, dress slacks and a cami). Here I’m wearing it over basic black so I added the red necklace for a pop of color. Cool sneakers work for the daytime street style look I was going for to meet a potential DJ client. Professional, fun, structured, with personality: that’s how I’d describe this outfit. The right blazer definitely makes a statement on any occasion, and what better statement is there to make than love? Here’s to literally wearing our hearts on our sleeves.
