On The 7th Day of Christmas: A Classic Sweater and Blazer

By 188 Comments

Today is the 6th Day of our 12 Days of Christmas series, and I’m still having a blast!
We are officially 1/2 way thru, and we still have LOTS of great giveaways to announce and TONS of fun gift ideas, recipes, and traditions to share!
We even have another giveaway today, so stay tuned!
Oh….and the winner of the $150 gift card to Milk and Honey is….
MALLORY WALSH!
E-mail me Mallory at pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com and we will get you hooked up!

I had so much fun yesterday doing a classing Pinterest Told Me To recreation, I thought I would do it again today!
My inspiration was the GORGEOUS and STYLISH Kate Middleton.
I love her look here (let’s be honest, I always love her look.)
But here I thought it was so fun how she made jeans, boots, a sweater, and a blazer look SO HIP even though they are all just plain and simple classic pieces.
So, this was my inspiration:

And this is how I recreated it.

I don’t know why, but until I saw the above picture I had never thought to pair a plain sweater under my blazer.
I LOVED the result, so I know I will be doing it time and time again.

blazer| 10 years old, NO KIDDING (lots of blazer options below)
sweater|  LOFT, exact sweater HERE (it has fun embellished sleeves!)
MUST HAVE skinny jeans HERE
Cognac wedge boots HERE

Click HERE for the exact sweater I’m wearing above.
I love it.
It totally deserves all of the fantastic reviews.  AND IT’s 50% OFF RIGHT NOW!!!!!

And below are some other great sweater options from LOFT.
All 50% OFF TODAY!!!!
In fact, 50% off all blouses, sweaters, and tees.
Click HERE to shop tops and HERE to shop sweaters.
(Great way to finish up that Christmas shopping in one swoop!)

These are some plain and simple sweaters that would be great basics for anybody’s closet.
v-neck sweater HERE
zip back sweater HERE
colorblock zip back sweater HERE
cowl neck sweater HERE

But if you have plenty of basic sweaters and are looking for something a bit more fun,
check these out!
Again, ALL are 50% off today…and I think all of these would be so fun on their own or peeking out under a blazer!
partridge sweater HERE
lace jacquard cotton sweater HERE
pearlized gem colorblock sweater HERE

Nordstrom has lots of great sweaters too.
Check out all of THESE cashmere options for under $100!
Give the gift of cashmere FOR UNDER $100!!!

Now that I’ve given you lots of sweater options, let’s move on to blazers.
Don’t think you need a black blazer?
I would like to respectfully disagree.

Case and point.
LOOK HOW CUTE ALL OF THESE LOOKS ARE!!!!
I. REST. MY. CASE.

(original sources unable to be found, except for the girl who is sitting down found HERE)

First I have 4 options for you from LOFT.
I love them all for different reasons!
 black peplum blazer HERE
custom stretched notch collar blazer HERE
faux leather sleeve blazer HERE
scuba twill blazer HERE

And some choices from Nordstrom follow:
ruched sleeve blazer HERE (under $80)
3 pocket blazer HERE (40% off and all size currently available…but not for long I’m guessing!)
stretch crepe blazer HERE (only 2 sizes left)
one button blazer HERE

And a GREAT plus size blazer option HERE that is 25% off.

Okay, so that’s it for sweaters and blazers…but you’ve got to stick with me because I have 3 more things that I want to pack in today!

 what everybody else linked up!

I found LOTS of fun things at Nordstrom (b/c nothing beats free shipping) that would make AWESOME stocking stuffers.  I would MUCH rather by these things online right now than run to CVS a couple of nights before the big day! 😉

Ryan journal HERE
Are you dying?  Because I’m totally dying.
Several readers sent this link to me and I couldn’t resist posting it!
Sorry I Peed On You HERE
This would be SUCH A GREAT STOCKING STUFF for a new mom!  The book title makes me laugh every single time I see it.  Because if you’re a mom, you know you’ve been peed on AT LEAST once.  Heck, being peed on is NOTHING!  🙂
Barguments Book HERE
 I think stocking stuffers for guys are so hard!  This would be perfect and would be so fun to look through on Christmas morning!
And the following 4 beauty products that are perfect for all the girls and ladies on your list:
Philosophy facial cleanser HERE
Hands of Hope cream HERE
Essie sparkly top coat HERE
soft matte lip cream HERE

EVERYTHING IN THE COLLAGE IS $10 and UNDER!!!

    I don't own a black blazer. I actually don't own a blazer. I must rectify this mistake today. I am so ashamed.

    Sheaffer,
    I'm addicted to your blog! I look at it everyday to see you greatness you have posted! I bought the penny boot and hooded sweater to wear with my leggings (everyday). Also got your favorite shirt (in black) and put the Blardigan on my Christmas list! I have one request, I can not wear juniors and I love your favorite jeans. Can you reccomend an alternative for me (size 14)? I would be eternally grateful and likely purchase them on the spot! Thanks and Merry Christmas! Katherine 🙂

    You just gave me a great idea for my black blazer. I normally wear with a sleeveless blouse – but I LOVE the look of the blazer with a sweater.

    I can't believe that you're blazer is 10 years old! Definitely pays to invest in good staples because it looks great 🙂

    I love the stationery and the signs. And the info about the sweater sale is great but it's just too tempting to buy something for myself! 🙂

    With an 8 month old who peed on me as soon as he was born I think I have to get that book. I'm sure there are so many stories in there I could relate to!

    So, your Current Affairs hooded long sweater is on SALE right now at Nordstrom. The only sale color is the Red Earth and it's 50% off, but there's only XS and S left! Also, the Pleione must-have shirt is on sale in Green Bottle, but only the petite sizes. I feel like this is all going to go quick…

    Clearly, I need to find myself the perfect black blazer. And I'm thinking that hand cream will go in our teachers' gift bags:-)

    I purchased a simple black blazer a few months back and it has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe. I love how you can dress them up or down.

    Man, now I need a black blazer {my list is getting longer and longer}!! I'm realizing just how badly I've neglected my own wardrobe since I quit work. It does look awesome though and your re-creation was great. In fact, you are giving Kate a run for her money! 🙂

    I think Kate Middleton's style is so classy. The sweater and blazer is something I need to try. I saw the Ryan journal and immediately thought of you. Too funny!
