Trail Blazer

I've always loved blazers, though I've yet to find the perfect one. I love how they can make even the most simple outfit looked pulled together and classy. I think that this outfit is a perfect example of that. It adds structure to the loose shirt, making it look more professional and work appropriate. Such an easy way to upgrade an outfit.

Even when blazers are more loose and less structured, they just make an outfit look instantly cooler. While it still looks nice, it doesn't look like you're trying-- it's more effortless.

I also like the idea of a blazer over a dress. Of course, it could be a fitted dress like this one, but I also like the idea of a structured blazer juxtaposed with a loose, flowy dress (look at me, using fancy words).

Even if all you wear is a t-shirt and jeans, blazers just make everything look better.

I feel like this is definitely something I need in my wardrobe, since it would help me move a lot of my work clothes up a notch. I don't have a strict dress code by any means, but I'd still like to dress nicer.

When I was in Barcelona, there were a ton of cute, affordable blazers, but I was really trying to limit my spending. Limiting it didn't work out to well, since I spent an embarrassing amount on clothes during October (which would be why I didn't even let myself go in stores in September). But, when it came down to it, I really did need to budget so that I could afford to eat and travel. And, after my initial foray into shopping, I really had to stick to a much stricter budget. 

So the hunt will continue once again, now that I have a little bit more wiggle room in my budget for non-necessities.
