Fall Style Must Have #1: The Blazer


Fall is upon us ladies. And that means endless options of fabulousness. I have a growing list of must have items. I recently started my Fall shopping by purchasing a gray blazer, a little bit of an 80s' throwback but very in the moment for Fall. I love the notched faux-leather collar  and the side zipper pockets. But you'll never guess where I got it. I'm always looking for a good bargain especially since the downturn. I've noticed of late the JCpenney ads everywhere, so I thought, let's check out what JCP has to offer. And surprise, surprise. I found some very desirable items at tremendous discounts.
I especially love the "I Heart Ronson" line for it's cute edgy, yet very affordable pieces. The designer, Charlotte Ronson is Sam Ronson's sister, Lindsay Lo's former flame. Check out my find above. Can't beat the price ( $72 marked down to $29!) and I've already gotten major, major compliments.  The Blazer is big this Fall and can be found anywhere at all prices points. If you're getting a blazer for the first time, I would suggest a more classic version. I love blazers and have several, so this option is perfect for those days I want to add a sophisticated edge to my look. Final Word:  Get your Blazer on!

Hey Vo--For a plus size gal, what shape blazer do you suggest works best? I have the habit of buying blazers then not wearing them because they make me look bigger due to plus size or breast size! Help!

Hey Sun Always Shines! I would suggest a more boxy blazer, which provides more room for the bosom. Go for a straight cut and single breasted blazer. The blazer shoud skim the top of your hip, the narrowest part of your body. But be sure the sholderline hits the edge of your natural shoulders to keep from looking swamped. The shoulder fit is the most important. If that fits right, then you can have the sides taken in by a tailor to create a waistline, keeping the blazer close to the body. Hope that helps. Yours in Style, Vo
