Today's Everyday Fashion: Tuxedo Blazer


I saved this photo because of her shoes! I love them, and I'm on the look out for unique ways to style my off-white python t-straps. Turns out that those shoes were not so hot with this outfit, so I wound up with this Nicholas Kirkwood inspired pair instead. I have a thing for tuxedo blazers (see how else I wore mine here and here) and I like the idea of wearing it with red corduroys for a bit of a early-holiday feel. Would you wear a tuxedo blazer?

Inspiration photo: FabSugar (Twitter pic)
Blazer: c/o Express, $55 (old)
Pants: Gap, $20 (similar, similar, similar)
Shirt: Banana Republic, $35
Shoes: Colin Stuart c/o MJR Sales, $25
Necklace: My Stella & Dot website, $198
Ring: My Stella & Dot website $39 and $69
Bracelets: My Stella & Dot website $32 and $39 and $79

  2. Hi J! I love your look! The red pants are a good surprise in the outfit! I have seen this amazing snake skin pair of shoes, but I'm not sure if I should buy it since it has round toes! Are they still in?

  3. I would definitely wear this whole look!  I have been stalking the Rock & Republic cobalt & black tuxedo blazer at Kohl's.  Waiting for it to go on super sale!  That will definitely be my next purchase.  Heather

  10. Love this!! I have been wondering about how to wear my tuxedo blazer (it is more of a cream than white but I totally think it would work with this same concept!

  14. Thanks Gizelle! Round toes are definitely still in, especially ones with a smaller platform. Pointy toe is also in style though! :-)

  15. I love tuxedo blazers. I don't have one, but if I did, I'd de invest in a classic black/white combo. But that cobalt/black is pretty too.

  22. Love your outfit!  Your inspiration photo is Rebecca Minkoff - one of my favorite bag designers!

  23. I like your outfit with the statement necklace.  Personally, I am not a big fan of tuxedo blazers - I am not sure I know how to make it more work appropriate and not too holiday looking.

  25. I just love your Gold & Zebra Print Enamel Kalahari Bangle Bracelet, (i.e., the third Stella & Dot bracelet listed, Above)!!    In the online video, Blythe Harris~~Stella & Dot's Chief Creative Officer~~says, "I LOVE our (Fall 2012 Line) Kalahari Bangle because black-and-white is just SUCH a beautiful, strong statement:  I would wear this with a black-and-white print, i.e., I think this would be SO chic!!"   

    Although I know you've worn your black-and-white Kalahari Bangle before, it not only looks  p.a.r.t.i.c.u.l.a.r.l.y.  nice with your Dalmatian-print dress~~(in your 9/17/12 post)~~which you wore while sightseeing in NYC;  but your Kalahari Bangle really "stands out" here............ as a gorgeous piece of Jewelry  *A.r.t.*............ i.e., even moreso UP AGAINST "the spare starkness" of your tuxedo blazer;  black shirt;  and orange-red corduroy pants!!    'Just SUPER-chic outfit styling, J.!!

  28. I love this outfit!  I love blazers on other people, but am a little gun-shy about wearing one myself.  I think it's because I'm a child of the 80s - I think "blazer," which leads me to think of shoulder pads and outfits gone horribly wrong! ;-)

  29. I am slowly embracing my cinnamon tuxedo blazer, and one of the ways I have worn it is this way: http://coverupchic.blogspot.ca/2012/09/fall-suiting-cool-colours.html, which I credited a past post of yours.  I really like these black and white options.
