Blue Ikat Blazer

Right now I am having a blue moment (seen here and here) and every Spring, like clockwork, I seem to have a print blazer moment.

Diane von Furstenberg Zaid Ikat Blazer $184

One of my favorite places to peruse is The Outnet.  You can find semi-affordable pieces by your dream designers such as this DvF blazer.  I love the blue and grey ikat combo and think there are so many ways you can style this blazer that the higher cost maybe worth it...especially if you are one of those people who only make a few key investments a season.  Not to mention "the jacket" is a key Spring trend and something every woman should have at least one of in their closet.

Like I said, the styling options with this lovely jacket are endless.  Here are two looks, one casual and one dressed-up, that basically use the same pieces for extra value.

I believe there is nothing more fabulous than a print blazer.  I also love this particular blazer because of its neutral palette that allows you to really work it into your wardrobe.  There are few pieces worth making a significant investment in but I officially endorse a beautiful blazer as one of them.
