Summer Blazer Sale

By -
Judging by our recent dress code poll (and angry emails we get when we feature an interview outfit sans blazer) more than a few of you work in a conservatively attired environment. In such a place, a blazer is usually required. While this is fine and dandy while you're inside the office, you don't want to die of heat exhaustion if you have to meet a client on-site or look like a frazzled mess after running to the bank.pale linen blazer, J. Crew $129.99 down from $178
classic navy pinstripe 4-season blazer, J. Crew $160 down from $240
khaki safari jacket, Banana Republic $99.99 down from $120
patch pocket jacket, Victoria's Secret $79 special

And one last blazer to think about: This floral blazer from J.Crew is $59.99, down from $168. But is it unprofessional? I don't think it is, but I also know florals are decidedly feminine and most dress codes treat feminine and unprofessional as synonyms.

What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
