So while Lar and I were in NOLA I did what all the locals do and went shopping at Urban Outfitters. I know, I know, it’s shameful to go to a chain store when you’re traveling, but in this case I’m so glad I did because I found the best blazer on the sales rack. It’s a thin, silk, double breasted, black blazer with slim-cut arms. I love how it makes every outfit look pulled together. Since it has been a little chilly in Atlanta, I’ve been wearing it with everything.
Exhibit 1:
U.O. blazer, U.O. tshirt, Blank cords from Rockit and Payless boots.
The necklace I’m wearing is one I bought for Lauren on our birthday from a local salon. It’s a mix of silver, gray and black chains hooked together.
Exhibit B:
U.O. blazer, Anthropologie blouse, Bitten by SJP jeans and secondhand boots.
It’s no Brooks Brother suit, but I think this blazer is pretty alright. I’m sure I’ll wear it out before the season is over.
Nice! I go to chain stores on vacation too. sometimes the selection is different. or that’s my excuse.
I REALLY need to make it over to UO sometime. I never go there but I so should! Lookin fly, Cath!
That is a fab blazer and I’m in LOVE with the mixed metals necklace!
love love that necklace! =D
LUCKY DUCK!!! I have no luck with urban sales. Booo. You look great! And I love the necklace too!
let’s hear it for blazers! h&m has the coolest sequined one I’ve ever seen.and I’m not really big on sequins! But you ladies did a GREAT job with that one and I LOVE the jewelry!
Don’t feel bad about going to UO, I usually stop there every trip I take. We don’t have UO in Hawaii.yet.
SO freaking cool, omg
That blazer is excellent. You’ll get so much use out of it. Also, I actually kind of agree with Jentine ^^. I too believe that some chain stores still end up with a degree of variability.
Love it, Cath! I am totally jealous 🙂 I have been looking for the perfect blazer for what feels like forever! You look great! And I love that necklace!
I love that you are wearing a necklace that you bought for your sister! LOL!
You look extremly well put together and, lets face it, super hot in that first outfit.
Fab styling job with both outfits but I LOVE the first look, esp. those chains. You can never go wrong with an amazing blazer!
xo, Becs
Damn, Cath. Now that’s a piece I never would’ve reached for . but you’ve made it look absolutely stellar!
I love the outfits; the first is my absolute favorite, and I love the purple beneath the blazer in the second.
Hi there-thats a fabulous buy, its so great when you purchase a piece and it fits like a glove, whether its thrifted or shop bought, its still a treasure-well done!
Great find! The blazer adds the perfect amount of polish to both outfits and fits you so well.
i do love me a good blazer and multiple of them actually.
love these combinations.
What a great find!! so cute!
Better than Brooks Bros – better price! LOVE the silver jewelry with it!
these looks are great. i especially love look #1. 🙂
that is a great blazer.I love the way it hangs on you! great buy!
You look very polished and chic!!! I love great blazers! xxoxoxo
Looks like a great find – very versatile! I like a lot of the stuff at UO, but navigating those chaotic racks. oh man. Maybe on a good day.
I wish I had this much success at UO sales! Really cute blazer!
I sometimes feel like shopping at UO is cheating myself at truly unique finds, so I try to avoid it when I can. I won’t deny they have some great pieces. Blazers are just wonderful creations. Especially ones that fit as well as that one does on you!
i love blazers. they always make anything look classier 🙂
the urban in the french quarter kicks some major tail. so much better than the one at lenox, i have a heart attack when i go in there too.no shame in that girls!
That blazer is Gorgeous!
great outfit! i love your necklace!!!!!!!!!
oooh! I love that blazer! It’s classy and lends an “edgy” aspect to your outfits. I love that first one. It doesn’t really look like your usual style, but it still looks fabulous!
i agree with jentine above.they may have a different selection;) love the outfit! i have that anthropologie top, too, but in gray. don’t u just love the twist front detail and the bonus comfiness??
Oooh I love this blazer! And you wear it so well! I’m guilty of visiting chain shops when I travel too but sometimes I find the best treasures there. That necklace you bought for Lar, is perfect, I just love the mix.
umm that necklace is dopeshow. Kudos on the blazer. And good move going double breasted.
I LOVE blazers. Especially with loose tees and boots 😀 you look great, as always 🙂
you look so pretty and those shoes are to die for. <3
