Blaze(r) of Glory: Day 4... it's actually a blazer!

August 9, 2012

It's hot, but I'm forcing myself to do work layers during my final office days. My REAL favorites were 2-3, but it's just too warm for tall boots and a sweater dress (finally). I tried to mix it up with light, short boots and a light bag.

I really really love orange with my BB shirt, and I'm sure I'll find ways to wear this combo beyond the office!

Orange blazer - F21
Brooks Brothers shirt - Ebay
Talbots skirt - flea market
B. Makowsky bag - Ebay
Report Marks booties - Nordstrom clearance
Cat ring - flea market

    I actually like #1 best! KILLER.

    You are raking those in your final week :)

  • Tina replied 11 years ago

    Love #2! You must wear this when it cools off! They're all fab.

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    LOVE all of these, Rae. You really are going out in a blaze!

    And those Reports look amazing on you.

    OMG I love these so much I can't even stand it! That orange blazer with that striped skirt? Divine!!

  • Carole replied 11 years ago

    Fantastic color, amazing fit! YLF.

  • texstyle replied 11 years ago

    This looks fantastic - I love them all - those boots, the orange and stripes, the bag...everything.

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    I like #1 best, mostly because of your leg line! And because the Frye boots are still a sore point. :) It's good to see all the options you have!

  • Glory replied 11 years ago

    Love your style - you look so great in all of these!

  • Parsley replied 11 years ago

    You really are going out in a blaze(r) of glory! Your outfits have been fab all week. (Sorry not to have commented until now)
    #1 may be my favorite of the whole week, and that's saying a lot!
    I'm amazed that you can wear your boots even when it's hot out. They look great, but don't your feet get hot?

  • harmonica replied 11 years ago

    You look FAB! #1 is my favorite because of the open neckline and looong legs

  • JulieJohn replied 11 years ago

    Fantastic looks all! #1 is my favorite too.

    You've got me singing the song from "Blades of Glory"! Thank you for that. ;~)

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    All three of these versions are fab on you - you wouldn't have gone wrong with any of them. That blazer is one of my favourite items of yours. Gorgeous!

  • Kirti replied 11 years ago

    #1 is my favourite too! Nice :-D

  • KathyL replied 11 years ago

    Love the orange jacket. You wear that color so well! Love the frye's but the report booties are great too!

  • tarzy replied 11 years ago

    You have such great style, Rae. Any thoughts of going into retail or something fashion-related?

  • Jem replied 11 years ago

    You look amazing in every one of these!

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    Thanks so much, everyone! It is one of my favorite combinations.

    Tara, actually, those are my MAIN thoughts! I am going to try and do more shopping for friends and family, and maybe try to get a job at a department store to work up to being a personal shopper. I don't really have many leads at the moment, but I hope to take some time off to research, start a website, etc. :)

I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
