summer blazin..

When it comes to the hot weather, the last thing on a person's mind is covering up, let alone with a long sleeved blazer.  I'm quite set on sticking with the usual go-to's; which include, shorts, maxi dresses, tanks, all things to keep me the least bit hot.  Though I have taken a huge liking to pairing a blazer with a summer outfit, lighter weight fabric, of course.  I find myself still purchasing long sleeved clothing in the summer, which is not normally like me.  But these are great throw on pieces that are easily carried from day to night and paired with just about anything.  With the variety of shades and fabrics, this is a great way to polish up your look or simply add a bit of fun.  It's odd but for some reason this trend has been universally accepted to combine items from different seasons.  The most critical component to pulling off this look is staying cool so balance out your outfit with a shorter hem.  This blazer by 3.1 Phillip Lim is a great added pop of color, whether paired with a dress or denim shorts.
