A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]
It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
I just purchased this lovely plaid blazer from Everlane. The sleeves are not as short as they look in the photographs. https://www.everlane.com/products/womens-wool-acadamey-blazer-minicheckplaid?collection=womens-outerwear
I have the 1.State blazer and it’s fantastic. It’s soft but you can’t tell it’s sort of knit– it looks completely normal and it has structure. I like it better than the pricier Theory one!
I am fairly certain my coworker owns the F21 blazer. It looks so good on her!
I have the Vince Camuto one in regular sizing, thanks to my Trunk Club stylist. It’s great, such a flattering cut and I’m fairly curvy and petite.
I am struggling to embrace this trend. The blazers look dated to me *shrug*
2nd that. My mom wore one like this in the 80s. Can’t get it out of my head.
Yeah, my first thought was 80s, not 40s.
The Duchess of Cambridge just wore a blazer similar to this, but more fitted by Smythe. I found one nearly identical at H&M for around $50. I prefer the more fitted cropped look to the oversized, but love this plaid that is so popular this fall- I’ve seen it referred to as “Prince of Wales plaid”.
My husband and I just took a trip to Italy and these sorts of blazers were EVERYWHERE in Milan, many double-breasted. I bought one from Everlane, but I’m really skeptical the look is going to translate to my day to day…
Target has a few options if you’re not willing to commit a bunch of money to this trend.
