Outfit | Trail Blazer

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]T[/dropcap]here are so many women who love J.Crew’s Schoolboy blazer, but I could never get on board with the shrunken style. Paired with ankle-length pants, I felt like an adolescent sprouting out of her clothes. I had considered springing for a more traditional cut, but that seemed too stodgy for my style. (Such a Goldilocks moment, huh?) Enter the brand’s Regent blazer, which is juuust right. It has feminine tailoring with crisp lines and a modern standing collar (accentuated by a forest green inset in the case of the heather carbon version). I wore it to our annual business expo with a knee-length black dress similar to this one, but it transitions to weekend wear with a short, flirty frock.
