Summer Suiting // the Perfect Summer Blazer

It happens to all of us gals.  You have an event or ultra important meeting, and that last thing you want to even think about wearing is that heavy wool blazer (or suit) you wore last winter.  Enter this perfect cape-blazer.  It's my go-to piece when I have an important meeting or interview, especially in the summertime.  It allows my arms to move freely, without feeling restricted or too hot, while still providing that level of professionalism I strive for.  Pair it with a tank or cami, jeans or dress pants: its the perfect staple for your summer wardrobe.     

This cape-blazer also comes in white, a really fun black/white printed combo or vertical navy stripes.  Or shop this very similar one here.

Fab Favorites Link Up

Today, I'm co-hosting a pretty fabulous Link Up with Lauren of Style Elixir and Michelle from Michelle's Paige.  In honor so, I decided to share a pretty fabulous Camel Duster Coat.  I'd been searching for the perfect Camel coat, and after many, many pinterest searches, I found this one on Forever21.com.  To my dismay, it was sold out online!  But to my surprise, I randomly stumbled upon it in store at my local mall.  It surely is a closet staple that every girl should have.
