tweed blazer – The Sol Compass

Fall in Providence

Happy Monday y’all! I hope your week is off to a good start so far. Today I’m sharing a few pics I snapped in Providence over the weekend. This blazer from Zara is one of my all time favorites. It’s about five years old and it comes back year after year when the leaves start to fall, because the only more quintessential New-England-in-fall style than tweed just might be elbow patches.

Make sure you guys stop by again tomorrow-I’ll be sharing my favorite things to do in Providence for a special Tuesday post!

Outfit Details – Blazer: Zara (last seen here) (similar here) | Sweater: Who What Wear (last seen here, here, and here) | Jeans: Lucky Brand | Booties: Sam Edelman | Purse: Vera Bradley (now on sale!)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Matching

Fun Fact about yours truly: I am a sucker for anything that is perfectly matched. On Monday when this post went live, a friend came up to me and said “I know why you love that skirt so much-because it matches your hair!”

She may have a point. My suede skirt that I love so dearly does match my hair, just like today’s blazer so perfectly matches my skirt and my glasses match my top here. Matching is one of those things I know I can always fall back on, because it pulls a look together even when I’m not 100% feeling the ensemble. This plaid skirt could go with so many things, but on a Monday morning you can bet I’ll fall right back into the routine of matching black and red (the color combo I’ve apparently loved this winter time and time again…)

Outfit Details – Blazer: LOFT (last seen here and here) | Blouse: J.Crew (last seen here) | Skirt: The Limited (old, similar here, here, here, and here, love this plaid dress) (last seen here and here) | Heels: Express | Necklace: Banana Republic Factory Store | Glasses: Warby Parker (last seen here) | Earrings: Bauble Bar | Bracelets: LC Lauren Conrad, The Limited | Bag: Banana Republic Factory (new version here)

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend!

Jackets are definitely one of my wardrobe must haves. They take every outfit to the next level, whether it be a blazer elevating your professional look or a leather jacket adding an extra edge to a weekend ensemble. This blazer from LOFT is my new favorite, because it adds something special to work and weekend looks alike.

It’s been so hard to take outfit pictures over the past week or so, with it being well below freezing all weekend. Shooting fashion pictures at the office park always lends to strange looks, but when its 16 degrees outside people look like they want to bring me in for a CT Scan. Here’s hoping for some warmer weather this week!
