Undoubtedly, we all agree that blazers are a must-have wardrobe staple. But how about my not-so-basic Barbie Pink Milly blazer?
Traditionally, a blazer is made of double-breasted black or navy high-quality fabric with brass buttons. This unsung fashion hero, the blazer, could elevate any basic outfit.
A great blazer is a capsule investment piece for your wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe is a collection of thoughtfully curated and easily interchangeable items. To maximize the number of outfits you can create. This concept makes sense when traveling to take a few key pieces.
Those old enough probably recall the era of extravagance and excess in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The power suit for women included a fitted blazer with shoulder pads. Perhaps it was the influence of more women working or the nighttime soap operas Dynasty and Dallas?
Earlier this month, I shared a few spring pieces I wanted to add to my closet. This Barbie Pink Milly Blazer is one such item. Unsurprisingly, I relish bold and feminine details; this blazer ticks all the boxes for me and wearing wide-leg pants.
So, for this post, what did the Magnificient 8 Instagram blogger group agree upon for our style statement? Blazers for this second installment of our quarterly postings. You may recall that in January, the theme was Viva Magenta, the 2023 Pantone color of the year.
As a reminder, the Magnificent Eight Blogger group showcases our styles across eight generations of fashion and beauty. I usually refer to this group as a bevy of beauty.
Now, don’t forget to check out all the generations of style showcasing the blazer:
Grace @graceful_rags: Collegiate
Mica @awayfromblue: Twenty-something
Roxanne @glassofglam: Thirty-something
Shelbee @shelbeeontheedge: Forty-something
Rena @fine.whatev: Fifty-something
Moi: Sixty-something
Lesley @jtouchofstyle: Seventy-something
Charlotte @jtouchofstyle: Eighty-something
By now, you might gather that pink is my favorite color. This neon pink screams and shouts at me, especially this not-so-basic Barbie Pink Milly Blazer.
Let me know your thoughts on wearing this bold pink.
Until the next time.
