Blooming Blazers

Maybe the summer season is over, but I'm still holding onto some prints and styles that say warm weather. I'm talking florals. While I'm not wearing a dandelion sundress to work, I can still have some fun with floral in other ways. I really love playing with a standard blazer because its an expected 'business-like' piece but a floral blazer? Now we're talking.

Forever 21, Floral Collarless Blazer, $22

Ok, so I'm not sure what's happening underneath this blazer (not much) but I love the colors of this blazer!

Bluefly, Leather and Sequins Red White Floral Blazer, $49

I love red, black, and white for a classic power outfit. 

Asos, Floral Edge to Edge Blazer, $89

Hello lovely! I love this blazer to ankle pants, denim, or a pencil skirt.

Modcloth, Fab Floral Designer Blazer, $69

A great cropped look that would pair well with a button down, a tee, or a silk tank.

While a navy blazer is a classic and versatile piece, I think you may be surprised how interchangeable a floral blazer really is!

Split Sides

When I think of a side slit two things come to mind: a pencil skirt that's trying to hard or an oversized tunic. We're looking at neither of these things today. This side slit is quiet and unassuming. It's a small detail on these tops that kind of make the look.

Nordstrom, Lush Side Slit Tank, $34

Simple. It also comes in eight other colors so have some fun.

Macy's, Freshman Juniors' Side Slit Mock Neck, $24

Nothing about this says hippy tunic, this is modern and chic.

BCBGeneration, Faux Leather Side Slit Collar Top, $20

We all need this top. Its sassy with stitched stipe details and a collar.

Victoria's Secret, Side Slit Anytime Tee, $34

Comfort meets style. I like the athletic look of this tee but the slit really steps it up a notch.

I'm a sucker for simple details and the side slit top is no exception. Dress it up, down or take it from desk to drinks. It's an easy style.
