What is that, velvet? (I’m sorry, I just couldn’t resist.). Ever since that hilarious scene in Coming To America, whenever I say or see velvet, I have to say that line. Velvet seems to have made a big comeback this year, but, it my opinion it never left. I’ve always been a fan of velvet and no matter its popularity, I’ve always worn it. A few months back I bought this velvet two button blazer with a gift card I got after attending Bodens Johnnie B. fall collection preview. They had a pink velvet and a leopard print velvet version of this blazer that I wanted, but, I chose the black because I realized that I didn’t have any nice looking black blazers. I thought a black velvet blazer would be perfect to dress up or dress down. Especially for the fall and winter months.
I love the velvet blazer it’s very cute and simple. I do agree it can be dressed up or down and you pulled it off both ways. I love the one where you wore the blazer with the jeans because I love the sweater that you wore underneath it. Great look!!

That skirt is FIERCE. Looks great with the velvet blazer!
Have I mentioned how much I love your style? This post shows how great you can work your look.
Liking the looks a lot. Especially the shoes. Shoe clips really do make shoes pops… given the right clip for the right shoe.

@Tye- Thanks so much. I like the jeans too witht he blazer.
@stillredheaded-thank you so much.
@Ears to the feet-I so agree with you about the shoe clips. I love them.
Ohhhh! I love these looks! Especially love the striped skirt with the blazer. The striped top is from Ann Taylor LOFT right? I really love their clothes, and they go up to 2XL online :).
@plus side of me-Thanks and the striped blazer is from Ann Taylor Loft.
That blazer is amaze! Thank you for introducing me to the fact that Boden goes up to a size 18.
trop classe avec ton jeans
i like both looks. even though i didn’t enter the contest, those shoe clip-ons really add that extra little something to the outfit.
i bought a velvet pantsuit from h&m back in the days when they had plus sizes. the blazer is fitted and the slacks have a little flare. i’ve only worn it the suit a few times, mostly with a black satin bustier and heels and colorful accessories. i think it’s time to break it out again but i’ll have the slacks tailored.
@Jeniese-Thanks and you’re welcome
@Asha- Now I remember when H&M had plus, but, I don’t remember the plus section having anything cute like a velvet pantsuit. Please take pics when you wear it.
I love love the sweater and jeans combo it looks great and you pulled it off nicely also the shoe clips are awesome.
Looking very chic!!
I love both looks. Very cute. I have that Loft sweater and will have to try it w/my velvet blazer. Tres cute.
