How NOT To Wear an Abstract Print Blazer and Denim

So, I'm shopping my closet this past weekend and what do ya know, I have loads of blazers...lol.  I guess I have a love for them because they can dress up the most simple outfits.  I plan to showcase ALL of the blazers I own in my next few posts.  Sort of an installment series, if you will.  I found this particular abstract print blazer at Goodwill.  The material has a good amount of stretch.  There's nothing like a good structured blazer to pull a look together. Unfortunately, this blazer is not a great representation of structure on my body.

Some people debate the fact that wearing a blazer is NOT a way to dress up a pair of denim, but I beg to differ.  I feel as long as it's done tastefully, you can pull it off.  And then there's the side of me that says, screw what others think.  Fashion is fashion and style is what you do with it.  If it doesn't suit your fancy, then don't wear it.

Jeans ~ Goodwill $7

I chose to pair this printed blazer with a white lace-trimmed cami from Lane Bryant and a pair of denim jeans.  They are a darker wash, fitted through the hip and thigh and slightly flared at the bottom.  I love that these jeans have good stretch, however, I'm still on the prowl for that uber perfect pair that hugs my wide hips and don't gape at the back due to the huge booty...thanks to my grandmothers...on both sides of the fam...double dose here...lol.

And yaaaas honey!! I am still sporting this darn fringe bag.  I love it...sorry, not sorry...lol.  It's so cute and funky.  Don't you think so?  While I love this blazer, after taking blog pics, I don't think it translated well on my body.  It's a bit boxy on me and doesn't really do much for my short frame.  Oh well, I will try again.  That's the beauty of blogging, you learn and grow from experience.  And I for one am not ashamed to say when things fail, and this was an epic fail...lol.

I feel when things don't turn out the way I planned helps me develop and blossom into a blogger who will  eventually nail it (most of the time).  Because let's be real, everyone has their off days, even seasoned bloggers.  Trust me, I've seen it with my own eyes, and this my friends just happens to be one of mine.  I'm okay with critiquing my own look and coming to the conclusion to tell myself, "uh-uh honey, try again"...lol.  This blazer will probably be going back to Goodwill.  Another lesson learned, don't buy things just because they're a steal.  If you don't love how it fits your body when you purchased it, chances are you're never gonna wear it.  Which translates to money wasted...ugh!! I need my coins!

Check out how some other bloggers are wearing their blazers and jeans below.  Most have styled them with boyfriend jeans.  I'm feeling their vibe. It's inspired me for a future post.
