stylish blazers, how to be stylish and professional
I'm definitely a summer gal! By this time every year I'm craving summer dresses, floral tops and bright colors. Maybe it's the long hours spent at the office or the lack of sunshine, but the winter blues are definitely setting in. In efforts to brighten things up a bit, I like to incorporate my favorite summer pieces into my winter wardrobe. Not only does this expand my closet but my wallet as well! A winter staple of mine, especially for work, is a blazer. Blazers are essential in a versatile office wardrobe. Throw one over your favorite sundress or pair with a silky top and you've got yourself a fresh new look, using summer pieces that you already own.
