Feeling the magic in a velvet magenta double breasted blazer and lace camisole from Express. (Both on major sale now!) This outfit was one I wore a lot during the holidays. I didn’t have a chance to share it on the blog in December but I had to share it this year. I got really lucky and found both pieces on sale for 40%. I’m hoping to find more times to wear this look before spring arrives.

Velvet Double Breasted Blazer and Lace Camisole from Express
The magenta color of these pieces is why I decided to buy them on a whim. I was shopping at my local mall and saw them in the window of Express. Maybe that’s why I should stick it online shopping! The velvet and lace textures were wonderful details to wear during the holiday season but the color keeps the look fresh for the new year.
This is my second double-breasted blazer this season. See this post here for the first one. I adore the classic details of this type of blazer. But be careful with balance when you wear a bulky topper like this one. Go with slimmer leg styles and fitted skirts to keep the silhouette flattering.
Life Lately
Things are pretty slow around here at the moment. My word of the year (patience) is proving to be very useful. I’m waiting on a couple more things to work out before I start my marketing blitz for my flute program. I started a new bible study on the book of Psalms with a friend and a lot of what I’m learning is how to wait on the Lord. He sure knows how to drive the point home. Lol!
Next weekend my husband and I will have a night out downtown at Longman & Eagle which is in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. This restaurant has a huge bourbon list which is why I decided to book dinner. When I was looking into dinner I realized that they had a small inn as well. I then booked a room for the night (one of his Christmas gifts) so he can try different bourbons to his heart’s content and we won’t have to drive anywhere afterwards. The night we are going also happens to be the anniversary of our first date. Perfect way to celebrate! What do you have going on this month?
Have a terrific week! XO
