Achieving The Perfect Balance

Today, there’s a great amount of freedom in how we can express ourselves through our clothes. The so to speak expectations or “rules” regarding which clothing items are made solely for men or women are quickly fading away.

One clothing item that both men and women elegantly embrace is a blazer or suit jacket. They’re an absolute necessity in anyone’s closet, serving as a perfect layering piece. They also come in all shapes, colors and sizes, making it feasible to assemble any desired look. With inspiration of fall fashion everywhere, it has been on my agenda to create a comfy and chic blazer ensemble.

While some denim or trousers would have paired nicely with a blazer, I wanted to change it up and go a different route. I recently came across this emerald beauty and knew it would be the piece to use. The texture of this maxi skirt is thick and slinky-like, making it perfect for cooler days. The rich color also goes well with black. To add a lighter feature, I tied a white and yellow printed scarf to my purse. Lately I have been loving the look of a scarf tied around a bag or purse; it’s another great way to accessorize!

A structured blazer and laid back skirt creates a quintessential, balanced look. There’s a powerful, yet delicate vibe achieved. The last detail added to bring this classic pairing altogether was a simple black belt. Belting your jacket and/or shirt is a neat trick to highlight your waistline and give a more fitted impression. Hope you enjoy! :)
