Happy Tuesday, friends! When I got to London last month, I popped in to Topshop and stopped dead in my tracks at the sight of this hot pink blazer. This piece of outerwear isn’t atypical for me, by any means, but it inspired me to venture outside of my norm. I wouldn’t say blazers are pieces of outerwear that I opt for regularly. It’s going to start getting colder here soon, I thought, so might as well embrace some different pieces of outerwear so you’re not always wearing the same one or two over and over. I also purchased this one in light pink which is, essentially, the same as the hot pink so you’ll be seeing me style them pretty regularly now!

If like wearing blazers but want something a little more tailored than the one I’m wearing, I’d highly suggest taking a look at the options over at J.Crew. Last year, I purchased a herringbone blazer from there and was obsessed with it. Their pattern options this year range from simple & classic to colorful & fun. I also love that they offer so many different size options. Whether you’re petite, tall or regular, you will surely be able to choose an option that suits you best. You’ll notice that they are a little pricier than the Topshop option I’m wearing, but it’s because your money is going toward a more quality product. Just being honest here 😉 Topshop is great, don’t get me wrong, but J.Crew does really go the extra mile in the quality department of their outerwear. That’s why you see their sizes sell out pretty fast as the Fall season gets underway. They opt for fewer, higher quality items rather than producing mass.

If you want a more fitted hot pink one, you have this adorable option to consider! 

So, between those two options, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for and I hope it challenges you to do a little something different in the outerwear department this Fall! I hope you were able to spend some good, quality time with your friends and family as well as snag some good deals yesterday during all the Labor Day Weekend sale madness! Nordstrom & J.Crew still have their sales going on by the way … 😉 

Also, do you notice I’m wearing white AFTER Labor Day? Despite the fact that I was raised by a very Southern woman, I think our generation is revolting against that old Southern rule. I get it why it came to be but it’s no fun! Wear white if you want to, ladies! 🙂

I am off to go get my hair done today, then heading to lunch with my friend Whitney and another blogger who is living here in London. It’s gloomy out again so I’m thinking her and I will sit in a coffee shop this afternoon and do some work. When it’s nice out, we want to be OUT and enjoying it so we’re trying to get as much computer blog work done as we can while it’s gross, hah! Have a great start to your week, ladies! xo.
