There hasn’t been a floral print that I don’t love, but I’ll admit that this long floral blazer was a bit tricky to style. For me, I usually choose blazers and jackets that end at the hip as the shrunken cut flatters petite proportions better. This blazer, on the other hand, extends well past my hips and reaches almost mid-thigh before coming to an end! Add on the bold print and the strong shoulder pads and any outfit could’ve easily looked like a remix of something from the 80s! To make the blazer look chic instead of dated, I styled it with a classic pencil skirt and blouse combination and treated the blazer almost as if it were a simple coat topper.
^^^ Of the different ways I’ve worn this blazer in the past, this might be one of my favorites. What do you think?
And last but not least, it’s Color Brigade Link-Up Day! I have Krystin from Girl in Betsey co-hosting with me today. Writing from Vancouver, BC, her blog offers trend topics, outfit posts, and lifestyle pieces. I love her Canadian perspective and this girl knows how to style a pair of boyfriend jeans!

Cute look, Kileen! I love the longer length of your blazer. This is my favorite look out of the 3. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Kileen sweetie that blazer is gorgeous and I love the length and florals. I am pinning this. You are inspiring me to wear my own floral blazer. You did so well with this in all 3 outfits. =)

I think this is my favorite too, but I love all the ways you styled this amazing blazer! I have a navy blazer with white piping–kind of a nautical looking blazer–that is long like this one and I have had the same problem styling it. I think we're about the same height (5'4"), so this gives me a lot of inspiration!
Love your blazer and the many ways you style it.
xo, Lee
