Blazer c/o Shoppalu, H&M tank, necklace & ring,
Club Monaco clutch, Zara pants, Michael Kors heels
When the lovely ladies at Shoppalu gifted me this vintage menswear-inspired blazer, I decided I really wanted to draw the focus to it and give it some structure. I layered my fitted black Club Monaco blazer underneath it to define the lapels and then threw on my much-loved and -worn leather belt from Mexico into a loose knot around my waist. The result? A menswear-inspired look that still has some feminine structure!
So this week has been “dailies” week, in which we turn our schedule from a weekly publication to putting out a paper every day. It’s actually been really fun despite the obviously increased stress levels…I’m such a procrastinator and work much more effectively when I have a finite amount of time to work with, so it’s been great to cover some really fun or important stories in a really in-depth and condensed way. I did a really interesting story about the battle for legal aid yesterday (which I have some already-invested interest in as my dad is a lawyer), and am working on a story about how to look festive for holiday parties without looking kitschy today. It’s kind of cool to cover such a huge range of topics over such a short amount of time!
Anyway, I’m so close to the end…after this week, I have one more big project and then I’m done, done, done!!! Hope all you lovelies are having a great week so far, and just to creep you out…happy humpday!
Loving the combination here! Club Monaco clutch is to die for!

I am so happy that you are almost finished with everything! It is definitely the "crunch time" of the semester. I cannot wait until break — it is much needed.
This menswear-inspired blazer is absolute perfection. I am such a blazer whore.

Gahhhh! Could you look more beautiful!
I love your outfit, i love that belt, and that jacket, and that clutch… (um I think I could go on forever here)
And I think I need to read your about me stuff, because I want to know more about this job/school/internship (???) that you're doing.
I LOVE TO WRITE! but novels… and I'm soo jealous of journalist, because they can take all the emotion and fact that I put in 500 pages, into about 5 paragraphs! Thats talent!!!
Two layered blazers?! Genius! I love this look! Especially the contrasting belt! Love love love it!
And your publication sounds so interesting! Especially the wide range of topics you get to cover! Hope it continues to treat you well, Alexandra!
Hello there sweetie! Thanks for the lovely comment, it means a lot to me!
Great outfit, I love your eyes! Great post!
Hope you're having a great evening!

You definitely rocked it, this blazer is so awesome and looks less severe than it could have with the belt and those pants. The clutch is the perfect touch. So gorgeous!

I love your style so much! This clutch is awesome and I love how you layered everything up on top to create structure. I just added you to my list of favorite blogs on my page – you've quickly won your way into my heart with your sweet personality and lovely outfits! 🙂 Keep up the great work!
I just love what you did with this blazer, Alex, it's not at all what I was expecting when I first saw it – it's better! I don't know why on earth I've never thought of belting a blazer before, I will have to try it immediately 🙂 So glad to hear you're finally almost at the end of the semester. [Oh, and if you could give me tips on how to get things done in a finite amount of time, that would be great… I have a deadline Friday and my article does not have one word yet.] Can't wait to see you so so soon, love!

Hi!great style!!!
okay girl..just trying to wrap my head around this concept…….a blazer under a blazer?! mind officially blown! i have never-ever-ever seen anyone do this but the idea is brilliant. i am floored with how simple but effective its results are. thanks so much for this treasured tip : )
gorgeous look in it's entirety and of course you are a sensation of beauty.
oh, i do the last minute thing too. it's weird but i also function better when making a blast at finishing something that i could have started weeks prior. congrats again on all these articles, gonna be having to create a new portfolio soon cos the current one will fill up in no time! xo ♥
