I'd seen this blazer at Kmart earlier in the summer and thought it would be fun to wear. But, seeing since I live in sunny South Florida that automatically means I would melt into a puddle of sweat if I tried to wear this anytime during the months of May - October. Plus, Kmart had it priced at
$34.99 which I think is a little pricey for Kmart. I was lucky enough to pick it up about two weeks ago for
$10.99! Unfortunately, it's still dripping with humidity and heat outside, so the only place I'll be able to wear it is the icebox where I work. Maybe in a few months there'll be one or two nights where the temperature dips below the sweat range. Check it out!
I'm so glad I bought this when I did, it's sold out online and the price went back up in the stores. I've also been seeing very similar blazers at J.Crew, GAP and others but for much more $$$$.
It turns out that this blazer is actually very well made! It has great details as you can see and it's also lined. In addition, the pockets are real and not just flaps. The fit is great and hits right at the hip.
This would be easy to dress up or dress down. I actually bought the same style in a different color, I'm just waiting for the matching skirt to come!
