Spring Summer Fashion Formula #7: Boyfriend Blazer and a Floaty Dress
May 7th, 2009
Mix masculine and feminine in a outfit that’s supremely sophisticated. Simply pair a floaty, feminine dress with an oversized boyfriend blazer. Here’s how to get the look:
1. Start with a floaty, feminine dress. We’re digging the drapey chiffon and the elbow-length sleeves (which camouflage heavy arms).
2. Layer on a hip-length boyfriend blazer. The tailored blazer contrasts against the floatiness of the chiffon dress. Bonus style points if you push up the sleeves of the blazer.
3. Accessorize with a pair of knee-length boots and a sophisticated-yet-roomy bag. Finish off the outfit with a colorful scarf for a final visual punch.

Hmm, I’d keep everything except the blazer. Boyfriend blazers look boxy and unflattering on my bod, so I’d swap it out for a cropped one.

I like this ensemble but I noticed that the Luella blazer that’s used in a lot of the outfits on this site has been sold out for a long time–how about using a different one?

Good observation, Susan. We’ve been purposely using the same core group of clothing items to show the variety of outfits you can create. Here’s the original post: http://www.omiru.com/index.php/2009/03/24/fashion-101-omirus-womenswear-spring-summer-capsule-wardrobe/.
We’ll be using a fresh set of items for our next capsule wardrobe!

Who makes the brown bag in this post? I looked on the Polyvore set, but I don’t think it says, unless I’m missing it. Thank you.

Forever 21 makes the brown bag. However, I just checked, and it looks like it’s sold out.
We featured it in a post a couple of weeks ago about great handbags under $50:

Guess these bags are going fast

Thank you for the reply about the bag. Just my luck that it would be sold out. Thanks anyway!
