Investment pieces are different things to different people.
I’m a stay at home mother and retired my power suit a long time ago. However, a
great blazer will get me from day to night – I can wear this blazer while
running errands and still wear it out in the evening for date night or drinks
with the girls. It is also something I can wear year round – except maybe the
hottest days of summer. This blazer is structured and cut perfectly for
my frame. It tapers in at my waist and sits perfectly on my shoulders. It is a
classic shape and won’t be subject to changing fashion whims. The lapels are
done in a satin fabric, which give it a nice touch. I only need one good black
blazer and this one’s it.
After the age of 35 women need to think about cut and fit before trends.
Nothing ages a woman more than ill-fitting and poorly cut clothes. Clothing that fits properly accentuates our
shape and camouflages any problem areas we have. Thank goodness well cut clothing can be found
at every price point!

Perfect blazer! I agree, it is an investment and it is all about the right fit. I still have a navy blue blazer from the 80ies which was a couple of hundred Euros - well, German Marks at that time - with an amazing fabric and I still wear it as it has an ageless style.

That's exactly why I bought this blazer! I can see wearing this for at least a decade...
DeleteGorgeous blazer. I got one very similar in White House, Black Market while visiting the US at Xmas. Have only worn it once so far, but know that it is a piece that I'll have in my wardrobe for a long time.
ReplyDeleteFabulous blazer and I'm loving the red shoes - a surprise pop of colour! I cannot believe how much snow you guys still have...you must be freezing in your photos! Brrrr!! Avril x
ReplyDeleteIt was way too cold! It was the wind that made me want to run inside as soon as I got outside to take these pictures.
DeleteYou're the Queen of blazers. And I love this one. Also love the pop of red in the shape of shoes. Such a nice look.
ReplyDeleteThe blazer is gorgeous - I always feel so polished wearing a black jacket....xx
ReplyDeleteSexy shoes!! Nice pop of colour!! Am digging the jacket as well.
ReplyDeleteLooking good Iva.
Red shoes are my weakness.

Preach, Iva! This whole mentality is what I drill into my clients' heads. Buy great-fitting, high quality classic pieces and you'll wear them (and look great in them) forever. This blazer is such a great example and it looks amazing on you. Loving it paired with the leopard and killer heels!!! ~Sarah

I think investment consultant will likely be good.
ReplyDeleteYou've given me a very good tip here about having one really high quality black blazer that fits perfectly. I will be on the lookout! And I do agree with your other points about looking for QUALITY items after the age of 35... things that are constructed well and fit our shape. Great advice!
