One Blazer, Two Ways, Kind Of
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.

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!
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
Fab styling job with both outfits but I LOVE the first look, esp. those chains. You can never go wrong with an amazing blazer!

Damn, Cath. Now that’s a piece I never would’ve reached for … but you’ve made it look absolutely stellar!
[Reply]
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!
[Reply]
Great find! The blazer adds the perfect amount of polish to both outfits and fits you so well.

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.
[Reply]
I wish I had this much success at UO sales! Really cute blazer!
[Reply]
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!

[Reply]

[Reply]
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!
[Reply]
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??
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
