Quantcast


Dear CheapChica

by cheapchica11 on May 5, 2009

I am looking for a nice jacket, cardigan, blazer to wear over all of my colorful spring T-shirts.  I LOVE the yellow/mustard color that is popular right now. Do you have any suggestions on where I can find this item?  I thought about the Liz Claiborne linen jackets but I think I want something dressier than that.  Thanks for your help!

You have great taste in color!  Yellow happens to be one of my favorite colors to wear and for some crazy reason, women tend to be most afraid of this sunny shade!

If you’re looking for something to wear over T-shirts I would lean more towards a Spring-weight jacket instead of a sweater…especially if you’re trying to dress up a basic tee.  Blazers and cropped jackets are one of the simplest and most effective way to really up the style factor no matter what you’re wearing, but there’s no reason to spend a fortune on a jacket!

picture-1Stores like Express, Old Navy and even H&M make well-tailored jackets that fit like a glove, but I found yours at Speigel for only $39.  I love this jacket for all the great details like the tabbed sleeves and the notch collar and for the fact that it’s got a little bit of stretch so it will feel fitted and not boxy against your body.

There are endless style possibilities for this jacket, but I really like it with the collar popped up and when worn with crisp whites like it is in this picture!  It will also look great over a printed top or with a printed skirt so make sure you multi-task with a piece this great!

And in case  you do want some other options, check out all of these great styles below in this fabulous color…

The 80s are so back. That blazer is too die for!
