A blazer is a great transition piece. It can be worn for work, out shopping, out to brunch or lunch on the weekends, to the museums, or over a dress at night. This is a great versatile piece for everyone.
Blazers come in many styles. Cropped blazers, embellished blazers, metallic blazers, tuxedo and colored blazers are a few of the options. See what suits your personality and events you attend. A styling tip would be to go from wearing it in the office to out at night, roll the cuff leaves up on both sides at least 3 times and push the sleeve so it sits in your arm bend. Add a bangle bracelet. Voila you are ready for some post-work fun.
