Does anyone else start wanting ALL THE VELVET this time of year? It’s just such a luxe fabric that calls to me every December, I swear. It’s cozy AND gorgeous, all-in-one. I know it’s tempting, but we shouldn’t limit our “fancier” pieces only to special events. I say, WEAR THE VELVET! And, I say wear the velvet all season long to get the most out of it…like this lovely navy blazer with a pop of fun under the collar.

Velvet Blazer: An Unexpected Outfit Topper To Dress Up or Down, All Winter Long

Outfit 1: With Leopard Heels & Faux Leather

This is an easy party look that’s warm and comfortable. This would be a great solution for a work party or honestly, most parties for me these days because rarely do we really go all out. Size up in these faux leather jeans. I like that they are more of a kick crop fit to keep them modern. Faux leather skinny jeans and I have a hard time getting along because of length typically, and the fact that they show all the wrinkles and folds in the fabric. These read more of a trouser, look a bit dressier and lay nicely (if you get the size up).

Outfit 2: With Jeans & A Tee For Everyday

See? You don’t have to save that blazer for parties only. This styled-down look works especially well with a navy blazer but would be fun with black or a burgundy, too. I think I’d pair a green blazer with black or gray jeans and maybe a gray or black, tee, too. But the leopard bag and sneakers would work with all colors to give a casual vibe for travel (or any day you want to be a little luxe and a little laidback, all at once).
