Dressing up cutoffs with a striped blazer.

I’m continuing my quest to Wear All the Summer Things before summer’s over. Today I’m adding some serious style points to a pair of casual cutoffs (a darker version of ) with a striped blazer and a pair of nude sandals (totally on sale right now, btw). A blazer adds an element of polish to any look, destroyed denim included. A silky floral camisole presented a print mix opportunityâ and would still make for a pretty outfit if I decided to slip out of the striped blazer at some point.
Shop the look:
This striped blazer isn’t necessarily going away when fall fully hits; it’ll still work with full-length denim and lightweight sweaters. I’m going to keep it around for transitioning summer-to-fall looks, for sure.
What is everyone up to this weekend? Tomorrow night we’re heading to The Pitch’s annual Margarita Wars event, which is a contest to find the best margarita in KC. Locals bars + restaurants set up shop near The Well and attendees wander (stumble) around, taste-testing different margaritas and then voting for their fave. My friends and I have been the last 2 years and it’s a blast! I’ll likely be documenting the whole thing on Insta stories if you’re interested in watching.
And speaking of The Pitch, did you hear my announcement last week about their Best of KC issue? I’m nominated in 2 categories: Best Local Instagram and Best Local Website. You can vote for me here (thank you, love you, owe you).

The shorts and blazer combo is something I’ve always been fond of! It’s usually only a short time of year when it works weather-wise.
Chic on the Cheap
Yes- either very early in the season or very late! Happy weekend!

Thanks, Kathrine!
This outfit is wonderful. The blazer is perfect with the whole set. Sweetheart, the sweater is charming, with lace and flowers that gives a special shine very well combined with denim shots and beautiful sandals. I also really like the bag and the sunglasses that you do combine so well with this look. Your hair and make-up is a delight. kisses.
Thank you so much, babe- such kind words! Happy Friday!

The floral cami is gorgeous and the striped blazer is so chic!
