WHITE BOYFRIEND BLAZER
Have you noticed how everything seems to have “boyfriend” in the name of women’s clothing? Boyfriend jeans, boyfriend watch (not clothing), boyfriend cardigan, and boyfriend blazer to name a few. What’s up with that? Did some male designer come up with this because he thought women were always stealing their boyfriend’s clothes? I will confess that I was guilty of wearing my boyfriend’s sweatshirts or jackets when I was young, but NEVER their jeans. Haha
When I think of the boyfriend style clothing, I think oversized, worn, soft, and comfortable. This white boyfriend blazer is two of those, soft and comfortable. When Stephanie of Glamour Farms contacted me about a collaboration, this was one of the items I picked out. I am one smart cookie!!! This white boyfriend blazer (c/0) is ridiculously soft. But since I couldn’t feel the material through the computer screen, that is not why it was chosen. A white blazer is one of those essential piece EVERYONE needs in their spring and summer wardrobe. Let me repeat that, EVERYONE needs a white blazer in their wardrobe. Did you get that? Don’t make me say it again. Lol!
It goes with literally everything. To make my point I styled the blazer two ways, dressy and casual. You can judged for yourself the results. If I dare say so myself, cute and cuter. Haha Not me, the outfits. Here are a few of the details about the blazer. I already told you it is soft, but I mean very, very soft, and the fabric is nice and thick. After my little fiasco with my unlined jacket, I am now quick to check for a lining. I like the 3/4 sleeves with the messy looking cuff. It is actually sewn so that the cuff stays that way. It reminds me of Don Johnson when he was on Miami Vice. Haha The longer length is also something I like, I can wear that length better for some reason. This jacket does not have a button closure, but instead a hook and eye. You can leave it open, or fasten it closed; either way it looks good.
Why buy from Glamour Farms, and not someone else? A couple of good reason come to mind. Quality, price, and the fact that these are real individuals, are some of the reasons I like them. Because I have the jacket, I can feel the quality, so on that point you will just have to take my word. On the price, I looked for similar blazers on Old Navy, Cato’s, JC Penny, and Nordstrom. I really couldn’t find anything that was close, but the items I found ranged in price from 30.00 to 350.00. The lower end items were cropped and unlined. And lastly, it is shopping a real mom and pop store, except it is a mom and daughters store. I like that I can see who I am buying from.I chose to accessorize with some bling jewelry. The necklace is from Chloe & Isabel and I just got this with my kit when I signed up to sell C&I. However, I could not find it on their website tonight, so it might have already been replaced, or I am just blind. Probably a toss-up as to which it is. Here is a similar one though. You can’t see my earrings here, but they match the necklace. I know people say you are not supposed to match, but I sometimes like matching. Whatever! Here is the matching earrings to the similar necklace. Boy, that was a mouth full. Haha
I am carrying a cross body light gray purse that I bought at TJ Maxx on my way to Tennessee. I like the gray color, as you can tell by my fingernails. Lol! The bling bracelet is Chloe & Isabel and the link bracelet is Stella & Dot.
I wore a navy & white stripped Ralph Lauren Polo t-shirt in both photos. The jeans are an old pair, that were a little too tight, by Izod. I like the pink in the cuff, I think it gives them a little character. Here is a similar pair in misses, and one in plus.
This pleated maxi skirt is striking. I am totally in love!!! This may not be something I would wear to work, but for a night out, this is great. I will probably take this outfit with me to a woman’s club Convention in May, so if any of my GFWC Virginia friends are reading this, just act surprised. Lol! I bought this Saturday at Classy Closet, a little boutique in Richland’s VA, on the clearance rack. I paid $5.00 for this. Before you ask, no there was not anymore of them. Sorry! The purse is hot pink, although it looks more red in the photo, and I bought it in Atlanta from a little lady selling vintage items to my mother.
I hope your Monday is off to a good start. Remember, if you are going to purchase something from Glamour Farms, use the code Tania01 for $10.00 off your entire order.
I kinda liked the GlamourFarm site…I have been losing weight lately and feeling kind of blah about clothes and not finding anything that was interesting in stores or on the web. Went to that site cuz of the white boyfriend blazer on your blog and saw lots of things on that site that I could actually wear so I may order from them. Yay! And the prices seem reasonable so hope the quality is as good. May order the white blazer too!
Ahhh! Love both outfits! and Love the way you put both together!!! Gotta have a white blazer
Wow, love that pink skirt and you look terrific wearing it! I need to get a white blazer. Had one but it did not fit well.
Love that skirt! I need to start looking on the clearance racks more! You certainly brighten my day! It’s 36 degrees here on Long Island – rainy, dreary & cold. You give me hope for sunnier days!
Love your blog! You have such a sweet spirit!! You are always so stylish. But, you need to ditch that color on your toes. ?? Everything else is on point! Blessings to you sweet lady. ?
I love both outfits! Great choice.

I love the boyfriend blazer and would like to find one similar to the one you are wearing. I need to find a site for petite women. I’m 5’2 and generally wear a petite small or xs. Any suggestions?
