Today’s Looking Back, Looking Forward spotlights an item I think will be a staple for me this fall. A navy blazer.
I was instantly drawn to a Cynthia Rowley blazer I found in Marshalls recently. The blazer is a perfect shade of navy blue and has a chic polka dot lining. It’s much longer than any other blazer I own. Boyfriend blazer?
According to Lucky mag, a longer blazer keeps the tummy under wraps. Whatever the case, I think this longer blazer will complement dresses (of this length and silhouette) like the one below well. It’ll probably work well with shorter dresses and skirts too.

Aww thanks, Pip!
I am jacket-obsessed right now, and that one is absolutely lovely. The polka-dot cuffs are the best part.
Me too! I'm so glad it's finally cooler so I can fathom wearing a blazer. BTW, Marshalls and TJ Maxx have an amazing collection of blazers right now.
That blazer will be great and so versatile…and I love the lining, how fun!
I think so too, Tara. The polka dot lining was a welcomed detail 🙂
Very well pulled together look. Love some blues and navy.
Right…blues and navy are always so sophisticated.
great blazer! you look lovely !♥
Thanks!
I love the print of your dress and the shade of green nail polish is cute 🙂

The print on this dress instantly attracted me to it. Admittedly, I've grown bored of it on occasion o_O. Luckily, I've found ways to renew my love for it. Thanks for stopping by!
Love the nail polish.
Thanks! I find myself drawn to that shade of green lately.
I love it!! I have 2 navy blazers, long and short, both thrifted! I definitely wear the longer blazer more often.
Nice! I wish I could thrift with you. Your thrifting finds are always amazing!!
beautiful blazer! It looks so good on you! 🙂 I really like the polka dot sleeves too 🙂
