PIPM: Pretty in Pink Megan: Blazin'

Blazin'

Remember in 2004 when velvet blazers were really in style? I remember between my roommates and I, we probably had every GAP Velvet blazer under the rainbow (Lexington Avenue anyone?)! Need a little photo visual? No worries, we'll take it back to the olden days!

{Hello 2005}

{BFFs at my 21st Bday celebration reppin' the blazer trend}

Blazers were HUGE in my college years, but after that, they seemed to take a backseat. Recently, they have reemerged on the scene, partly thanks to Duchess Catherine and her savvy style.

{Oops, how did that picture get in there ;) Oh the fun you can have on Face In a Hole}

Boom blazers are everywhere now in all colors! I still love a traditional navy blazer, but I also love the new colored ones that we are seeing everywhere. I wore a hot pink one today from H&M.

I foresee blazers being huge in the fall. I think they are a great piece that can be worn with casual wear or dressed up like Catherine displayed with a navy dress.

In my opinion, a cute fitted blazer hasn't been out of style since 2004. And the boyfriend blazers have been huge recently, though they aren't really my favourite! Your pink one is too cute!

I love the blazer look! I noticed in the movie BRIDESMAIDS, Kristin Wiig's character wore a lot of blazers with cute dresses. I also love Kate Middleton's blazer look. She always looks so put together.

Ummm... I may or may not have a black velvet one that was around in the Lex Ave days. I couldn't get rid of it. It will probably make an appearance this Fall. Love the hot pink one!

I love blazers!! I tried on a white one today at Zara and looooved it!

Loving the colored blazers!! I'm on the lookout for one in blush.
Tho, I don't think Kate M brought upon this trend, they've been back in style for a couple of years now. I got a way cute black one last winter from F21 for only $20.. a steal!

Meggan said...

I totally agree with you! Loving blazers for fall :)

J Crew made some seriously fabulous blazers in the day, too. I had velvet, cord, herringbone - loved 'em. Oh how I miss J Crew of yore!

Curt and Moe said...

I have a couple velvet blazers hanging in my closet from JCrew from a few years back and I love them! The somewhat conservative girl in me never really put them away and I've been wearing the updated versions as well as the traditional ones for as long as I can remember. Glad they're making a comeback though in the mainstream! Once a preppy...

Belle on Heels said...

Baby Makes Four said...

Kristen said...

Blazers are just one of those staples that never goes out of style. My Navy Ralph Lauren blazer is so timeless!

Amanda said...

I never let the blazer die. Great pink blazer!!!

Sara Cate said...

I'm thrilled with the blazer style! So flattering, so refined, so fun. I seriously want a fitted navy one with rolled sleeves and gold buttons.

I loved the blazer & jeans trend in 2004, so I'd be happy to see these come back! For cooler weather, there's something so smart looking about a nice set of jeans with a fitted blazer and heels!

Ariane said...

I love when you take us back to the olden days!

Unknown said...

I rocked both that turquoise and dusty pink velvet blazers back in 2004, with the lace/silk cami under of course!

NKubon said...

I am a blazer girl myself. Love yours! Newly following you and loving your posts so far!

Oh gosh! I used to LIVE in blazers -- especially the velvet ones from Gap. I'm excited for this trend to come back in because I kept about a dozen that I'll be busting out come fall.
