Today I'm going to share with you my third tip for switching seasons. I have a lot of dresses that I tend to think are strictly for summer; this dress is one of them. What a waste of a cute dress though! That's where the blazer comes in. I recently found this great cobalt one at Loft on sale and it's the perfect addition to this dress. Simply adding a blazer makes this outfit make the "Season Switch" and I don't have to solely enjoy this dress in the Summer. Hint: I find this works best when the materials are similar, as they are here. If you try add a poly-blend blazer to a jersey dress, this look probably won't work. But a cotton jersey blazer with a jersey dress will be perfect.

Blazer's are probably one of my most favourite things to wear, you can dress them up or down so easily. This blue one is amazing, that colour Ahhhhh I need this.

This switch is great! I love blazers and am slowly building my collection. The yellow belt you added is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love blazers in the fall, especially with dresses! This look is great and I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteBlazers are definitely a great way to transition an outfit to fall! As much as I love summer, I'm kinda excited to bring my blazers back into rotation. You look so pretty, love the blue!

I love this! The blazer definitely takes the dress into fall. I also like the professionalism that a blazer can add to a summery dress. But it's been a little too warm to start wearing my blazers yet.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! And such a big impact for a simple addition.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what a simple blazer can do for an outfit. I love this dress styled both ways! I bet it would look cute going into the winter even with black tights and a black cardi or blazer!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I just can't do blazers. I'm a cardigan girl, myself. :-)
ReplyDeleteBlazers truly are the best! And can really take an outfit to a new season or from casual to professional!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue blazer ! I can't wait to start wearing blazers but it is still a little bit too hot.
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award ! Check out the details here on my blog :

Cute, cute, cute! I think you just double my wardrobe with this tip. I have so many summer dresses that I can now wear for a little while longer :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what a blazer can do to an outfit! I think it is the most versatile clothing piece ever :) You look lovely in this vibrant blue color.

Absolutely love these colors!!! Gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree about how great a blazer can be. It took me a while to get on board with them but now that I jumped on the bandwagon it's been such a great and versatile addition to my wardrobe. Thanks for sharing the great outfit ideas. Look forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great tip- love that Loft blazer! I just went online and ordered the blue and coral versions-- should be perfect for adding some personality to my new "corporate chic" wardrobe! Would you say the blazer runs true to size?
ReplyDeleteLove the blazer! Plus in the winter you can add tights and boots and it's like a whole new outfit!

I love doing the same thing with my summer dresses! Adding a blazer makes them more weather appropriate, but I also love the way it dresses up my dresses. I'm a huge fan of a dress with a blazer, tights, and boots for fall :)
