Biker Shorts meets Office Blazer

Biker shorts are definitely not a new trend. I showed you here how I was finally getting on board with them. (I wasn't the biggest fan when they first came out.) Well, now I think it's safe to say that I LOVE my biker shorts. I even bought a leopard pair recently. Since I love this style so much now I wanted to show you another way to style them. 

I have seen similar looks on pinterest and instagram and always thought it looked so good. I really didn't think I would be able to pull this off, but when I put it all together I really loved it. 

I like to think of this as a laid back "business" look. If you work in a really fashion forward office that has a laid back dress code you could definitely rock this look there. If you don't... I think this is a great option for brunch or girls night that involves dinner and drinks. The shorts & graphic tee keep things casual while the heels and blazer dress it up a bit. I will definitely be rocking this look very soon!

What are your thoughts? Would you ever wear this? I'm pretty sure J will ask me what the heck I'm wearing when I do wear this. (Luckily my mom was taking my photos this day and she thought I looked cute. hah) 

Summer Blazer

Happy Thursday friends!

I have been a little off my posting schedule, and I hate that so much! With something going on every weekend in May, and the fact that it’s been raining for what feels like 2 weeks; it’s been a struggle to create content. I feel like I’ve even been slacking with instagram posts. The good news is, I finally got some outfits shot last weekend, and will be getting more shot this weekend. So, I will be back to normal next week.

With that out of the way, let’s talk about today’s outfit shall we?

Let my start by saying you need this blazer in your life. I saw it about a month ago and immediately fell in love. I didn’t pull the trigger right away because it was a little pricey. Last week I was browsing Nordstrom for the half yearly sale, and I saw this baby was a part of it!! (I instantly hit add to cart and whipped out my credit card.)

If the fact that it’s on sale hasn’t made you already check it out, let me tell you all the other reasons you need this blazer. First the color is PERFECT for summer; because it pairs with blue denim AND white denim. I also like that the sleeves are already cinched, so you don’t have to roll them if you don’t want to. And if you’re thinking why do I need a blazer when summer is about to start; this one is a linen texture and super lightweight. Great for that freezing cold office! Plus its boyfriend cut which makes it easy to dress up or down.

I hope everyone has a great Friday and an even better weekend. I plan on doing lots of blog work and posting a TON of stuff to my poshmark account. Follow me on instagram (@thefashionablylateblonde) if you’re interested in what I’ll be selling.
