Vibrant Prep.

I’m in love with this blazer. I wish I had bought it in every color. It feels like a sweatshirt but still looks structured. I can freely move my arms around and I also don’t have to worry about wrinkling. Oh, and did I mention it’s fuchsia?

    *Love* this outfit! In a million years, I don’t think I would’ve thought to put these pieces together, but it just looks so right! And I am obsessed with that blazer in gray/black. Why, oh why, must it be $88? (I know that’s reasonable, but I can never part with that much money on one item.) But it is so cute.

    J’adore! I have a navy striped blazer that is sweatshirt material but is structured. Totally love it.

    Might this fall in the “swazer” category? That’s a blazer that feels like a sweater/sweatshirt. Fun to say; fun to wear!

  7. There can NEVER be too much fushia! Gosh this jacket fits you like a glove, which is I know what jackets are supposed to fit like but sometimes it’s hard for them to fit right!

    I love the blazer! I recently bought a jersey gray one and it’s so nice to have the structure of a blazer but the comfort of soft cotton! Great Look!

    That blazer needs to be mine!! I’m about to start my back-to-school shopping (one of the benefits of being a teacher) and it just jumped to the top of my list! You look adorable in it and I love the fuchsia with chambray.

  19. Ahh I don’t know what I love more?! The fuchsia blazer or the chambray or the shoes! Amazing.

  20. Sarah T. says:

    I actually DID purchase this blazer in all 6 colors when Gap was doing their 30% off sale & I absolutely love it!! Wouldn’t have thought to pair it with these colors though & it looks great. Thanks for the idea! :)

  21. Chrysta says:

    Maybe I’m just weird… I always hesitate to wear blazers or other items with noticeable buttons and a shirt which also has buttons. Does this bother anyone else? If the buttons are the same size, it doesn’t bother me as much, but I still feel like it looks a little awkward sometimes.

      I’ve never thought of that! I actually put this blazer over a buttoned up, v-neck cardigan last weekend. That’s even more buttons!

    oh Kayl this blazer is beautiful, well the whole outfit is.

    Ok, Gap won – I bought the jacket. Sigh. ;)

  24. Kate says:

    This blazer looks so fantastic on you!! I’ve been back and forth whether to splurge (I’m really frugal and have never shelled out this much for a blazer)… still undecided. Would you wear the blazer with black bottoms (skirt, pants, etc)?

    That Jacket is lovely!

    how wonderful. this cardigan really is absolutely pretty! Definitely would have bought this one as well. Suits you really well also. Probably looks awesome with a little black dress or a skirt
