Wednesday’s TPS Report: Snap Front Blazer Jacket

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
We are loving this white blazer, despite it being the depths of winter. We like the tailoring of it, the fact that it's made of bamboo jersey, organic cotton, and spandex (comfy and eco-friendly), and the way it bears no resemblance, at all, to a lab coat. We'd wear it over a sheath dress, or perhaps with a pair of gray pants; in the summer we'd probably throw it over everything. It's 50% off at Couture Candy and is now $121 — it's still available in sizes XS – M. The Battalion Snap Front Blazer Jacket

LOVE this!
Me too! Unfortunately, now only available in XS. I don’t think I was ever an XS.
Very cute and not “church lady” or “ladies who lunch” which can be the case with white jackets. They flew off the rack because of you, C (as always).
I have a white blazer similar to this with dark brown print. I can’t figure out what to wear it with. My brown pants don’t match the brown in the print. It seems weird to wear with black pants — I know the black and brown combo is technically ok, but it just looks off to me. Any ideas?
I’d wear it with the non-matching brown pants. I’m sure the browns probably go together just fine, and really it’s better to “go” than to “match”, as Stacy and Clinton would say. Well, I guess I take that back if the pants are a light brown – but any medium to dark brownish pants would probably be fine. A white skirt would probably look nice, too, though probably more for springtime unless it’s ivory.
Thanks jcb! The non-matching ones looked weird to me but maybe it’s because I’m so used to matching. I have heard Stacy and Clinton talk about clothes “going” together though. :)
Brown and black together is cool. Try it for a little while, I bet it grows on you.
