J Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Velvet – Life is Short…Buy the Shoes

I have last year’s Schoolboy Blazer in Velvet that I scored on super sale, in Black. I haven’t worn it yet but know it will be a staple in my closet this Fall and Winter. Because of our mostly mild temps in the Winter a blazer is the better choice to reach for when walking out the door compared to a bulky coat. (Let’s see if I change my tune once my Flared Perfect Coat is delivered.)

During the 25% off madness, I ordered this year’s Schoolboy Blazer in Velvet Poppy.

Well, readers, I have clearly met my match with bright colors. This is one I just cannot do. This is like a Neon Orange-y Salmon. And although orange and salmon look good on me, this color is almost blinding. You can see me from 100 miles away.

WOW! Is it bright!

The velvet is plush and the size 8 fit me well. I would be able to layer under it comfortably. But sadly, this is going back. I sort of knew that as soon as I pulled it out of the box but I let it sit in my closet for a few days to be sure. It just didn’t go with anything and looked out-of-place with all my other blazers. Poor little Poppy.

I’ll be back later with some Que Bella’s. Have a Great Day!
