This blazer is one of the oldest items in my current closet. I bought it before I even started blogging (which was in 2013) and it’s held up all this time!

I think it’s a testament to investing in good quality and being particular about the cut and fit of a piece. At the time it was considered very oversize compared to the more fitted, preppy inspired shapes I was seeing but something about it just felt right whenever I put it on. It felt a little French, a little masculine, and very timeless.

Next time you’re considering a piece that may not be immediately on trend, consider how it makes you feel, because that’s what you really want to hold up over time.
