Happy Monday, ladies, and happy last Monday in April. Where did this month disappear to? Spring is in full bloom here in Georgia, and our winter gear will be safely tucked away until November. I love all things spring—the weather, the foliage, and the clothes! Lighter and brighter is here to stay. Praise the Lord!
Recently, on the Message from Mom podcast, Chelsea, Kelly, and I discussed Age-Appropriate Style—Fact or Fiction. I’m a firm believer and have always lived by two style rules that have served me well: dress for the occasion and dress for the weather.

Spring is the perfect example of these style rules in play because we all know it’s a fickle season with temps all over the place. A third layer comes in handy this time of year. One of my favorite third layers is the mighty blazer, which can be dressed up or down depending on your mood, the occasion, or the weather. Ann Taylor always has a great selection of blazers, as does J. Crew and Talbots. If you don’t mind paying a pretty penny, Veronica Beard.

My outfit's hero piece is this adorable tweed blazer, which I featured several weeks ago in this blog post. It’s a cheerful, versatile third layer that can be mixed and matched, dressed up or down. Pop it over a dress, skirt, or trousers for a chic office loo, or pair it with denim for a casual weekend outfit.

These grasscloth sandals from J. McLaughlin have been on style repeat because they go with everything! And they have a comfortable heel height which is always welcome. Add a hobo handbag to keep with this outfit's relaxed look, and I’m ready for any casual activity headed my way.

I love this blazer! Mine is to be here tomorrow in the mail. Can hardly wait to wear it! Red is one of my favorite colors. Know I will wear it for years to come.
This is a beautiful blazer! The red & white windowpane.
Since you probably get to preview items, do you know if Talbots will be offering a madras blazer?
