When I ordered this navy blue blazer during the Nordstrom sale, my thought behind it was pretty simple. Looks comfortable, loose-fitting and like something I could throw on over dresses or layer up for work. I thought it was a great transitional piece (blazers are the best) and something I could wear through the rest of pregnancy. What I didn’t think would happen? So many people absolutely loving it.
To be honest, this Carlson blazer has mixed reviews. Or at least from what I looked through before making my decision. Anyway, I wasn’t expecting to be blown out of the water, but I’m genuinely happy with the quality and fit. I wore it to the office within a week of it reaching my doorstep and so many of my co-workers made a comment about wanting something similar. Who knew? I feel like it’s these kinds of pieces people look over while fulfilling holes in their closet.
Such a simple piece, like a lightweight cotton navy blue blazer, can be exactly what your wardrobe needs. I’m having a difficult time getting dressed right now (I’m officially maternity shopping) but I put this simple outfit together to show how classic and easy my new wardrobe staple is. Throw over a simple graphic tee – my personal favorite – or a dress, or pair with work pants for a laid-back, but professional vibe. It’s perfect. And still available!
