Launching tomorrow @thepurpletigerboutique swim! Launching tomorrow @thepurpletigerboutique swim!  Let me tell you about this suit. When I saw it on the hanger I was like hmmm let’s see how the bottom works on me. When I got the suit on I was impressed with how the fabric really molded to my body and gave me the coverage I wanted.  The top is also very supportive and I love the crisscross. Bonus. I have also worn this as a body suit because it’s just that cute.

Blazers are classic. If you find the right one it will work for you for years. They are easy to style, look effortlessly chic and just have this edge of sophistication. If you were going to invest in one piece this year my suggestions would be a blazer.

When looking for the perfect blazer for you there are a few things you should consider.

  1. Make sure that the color or pattern works in your existing wardrobe. It can be misleading to get something that is really on trend for the season and miss the opportunity to get a blazer that will transition in your wardrobe for year.
  2. Try the blazer on and move around in it. I am broad in the chest and shoulders so when I am trying a blazer on I am going to wrap my arms around my chest and squeeze. This is my tell tale sign if it will be too tight in the arms.
  3. When in doubt, size up. It is so much easier to size up and have something tailored than it is to squeeze into a blazer that is uncomfortable.
  4. Speaking of size make sure the sleeves hit right above your wrist. This is something that makes a blazer look tailored and fitted to your frame. If the sleeves are too long take it to a tailor and they can fix it quickly. P.S. Sleeve length matters on oversized blazers too. Having the sleeves at the right length is what keep oversized looking chic and not frumpy.
  5. Last, Look at where the bottom of the blazer hits you on the hips. You should aim for right on your hip bone or slightly below. Unless you are going for an oversized look or menswear then it can be longer. Depending how tall you are and how long your torso is will depend on where the blazer falls on you. This is why one that works on your friend that is the same size as you won’t work on your body. Try things on!

What kind of blazer should you invest in?

Blazer’s can be pricey so it is good to make sure that you are going to get a lot of wear out of the piece. I am highlighting four styles of blazers that would work in just about any wardrobe.

White

A white blazer is going to make so many gorgeous outfits. It can work from casual to work and all the way through to dressier outfits. White looks crisp, clean and expensive. I love wearing my white blazer with an all black look. It just adds a pop.

Here are a few of my favorites…

Pattern

Pattern blazers are classic. I love a hounds tooth, plaid or tweed. Patterned blazers in the winter and fall are a fun nod to menswear. I love how you can take a super feminine outfit and add a tweed blazer and it adds a level of edge to the whole look.

Here are a few of my favorites…

Colored

I love a good bold colored blazer. There are so many good reds and pinks that are currently out there. I also have been finding a lot of power blue too. I am also thinking that post Inauguration we are going to see more jewel tone jackets because that was a whole mood.

Here are a few of my favorites…

§§cs§§

Oversized

This is more on the trendy side so if you are looking for a real, long term investment piece I would look in one of the other three categories. The goal in making a oversized piece work is getting something that won’t swallow you. We are looking for a slightly oversized look but still keep in mind where the shoulder seam hits and also the length. You want it to look like you took your boyfriends jacket, not like you are swimming in it.

Here are a few of my favorites…

XO,

Tiffany

Disco Nap: 2/3. This year I have worked through a Disco Nap: 2/3. This year I have worked through a lot of emotional baggage on what being beautiful is. That most of our focus of being beautiful is intertwined with the desire to be thin. Angling our bodies in pictures to the thinnest look, looking for clothes that are “flattering” and shaming our self when our body doesn’t look like we want it to in an outfit. So many things about body positivity are nuanced and deep and layered. Ive accepted and grown to love so many things about my ever changing frame but I even knew there was this deep seeded hatred of my belly knowing it’s not aesthetically appealing to society. Even as I write this I won’t lie and say this last year I’ve learned to love every part of my body and I never feel shame about it. What I have learned is that I’m not going to hide it anymore. That I’m not going to try to make myself appear smaller than I am. Because trying to hide is leaning into the shame.
