Leather Blazer

When: April 18, 2021 // Weather: 60s // Real life: used book shopping and dinner on a patio

I loved this outfit so much it made me want to rid my closet of everything but striped tees, jeans, and blazers. We all know I won’t do that, but it’s fun to dream.

I ordered this faux leather blazer on Poshmark and I took a bit of risk because who really knows if fast fashion faux leather is going to look like leather, or like plastic that melted when you accidentally left it in front of the heater. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality, and I already have a million ideas on how to style this blazer in the fall.

One of the best things I did with my extra “quarantine time” was download the Stylebook app and upload images of my entire closet. Now, when I have an idea of how I want to style something, I can create a “look” and save it for later so I don’t forget. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to Netflix and chill, but by “chill” I mean “make outfit collages on Stylebook.”

This was it — the outfit that made me remember that I do still like putting on a little makeup and a blazer and looking casual-chic and vaguely French. I’ve enjoyed the last (gulp) year of ultra-casual, au naturel Sarah, but man did I really feel like me in this outfit. It felt good to be back, even just for a day.
