Velvet Blazer with Bow?
Permalink Closed

Please help me...I am losing it. First of all, I am normally *not* a bow girl, but suddenly I have it in my head that I need a velvet blazer with a bow in the front (like a tie closure). I know some of you posted some a few months ago, but I've been searching online a bit and can't find any.

Last week I was watching WNTW and the girl they made over had the cutest one on...all of a sudden I NEED one. Preferably in something jewel-toned, like a nice teal, deep forest / emerald green, or a rich rose...but black will do in a pinch.

And I am budget-oriened, esp. since this wasn't on my fall wishlist, so if we can keep the price around $100 or so, that would be ideal!

Any thoughts?

The girl on WNTW got that blazer at Mexx.  It comes in burgundy or teal velvet.  It's super cute in real life, and is on sale for $99.  Hope that helps!

Jess, you rock! I checked and of course, there is no Mexx store in Atlanta. But I can always try the mail order, if necessary.

I have a hard time with blazers fitting me - if they fit in the chest / shoulders, they are usually too large in the waist. So I'd rather try a blazer on first, if possible...but will source through Mexx (and check their return policy) as a last resort. Thanks for the info!

Any other suggestions?

This one's short sleeved, so it might not be what you're looking for, but it's cute so I thought I'd post it anyway! It also comes in a deep teal color.

Banana has this one:



Old Navy has this:



Also, I tried this one Christine posted:


 


And I was really disappointed w/it - it's not as cute IRL, and it wasn't very flattering on.

I saw that one in person at Cato & I think it was only like $30. So if it's a piece you are thinking you'll tire of quickly (ie, one season) it may be a good option. It was pretty, but I didn't try it on so i'm not sure about fit.

Hey laken1, I don't usually buy "one season" pieces...so thanks for the input about the Cato blazer. I prefer to buy items with more longevity. *s*

I haven't been able to find much, and can't get the Mexx one out of my head, so I guess I'll give them a call and see what my options are. I may have to order two sizes and return whichever fits the worst...

Thanks again, everyone!

those are so pretty, but my big problem with them is that you cannot then wear the blazer open--it looks horrible with the ribbons trailing down.
