Fashion Friday: Bright Blazers

I am so excited that bright blazers are a style trend right now!  I'm looking forward to wearing them to brighten up the rest of my winter and through the spring.  When I was in college we all wore jeans, boots and blazers and I always loved the look.  But, the look has come back in with a new twist:  Bright Colors.  In a recent post about how to dress for a professional presentation (here) I styled the look with a bright blazer and I showed you the bright blazer I actually wore for my presentation.  I love this trend for 3 main reasons:

1. The bright blazer adds a pop of color to a sometimes neutral office wardrobe.  It models the business professional look but allows for a little personality and flare.
2. A bright blazer is great for layering, it is useful with unpredictable office and weather environments and is a great three season staple.
3. It is a great transitional piece.  You can pair it with a pencil skirt or slacks for the office and then put it together with jeans or shorts for a more smart casual look or a night out.

Here are some looks with blazers that I have spotted on Pinterest lately. I'm loving all of them.

How do you like to wear a blazer?
