Add a green blazer to your wardrobe

Ah the joys of coming home to Paris...not only do I reunite with my lovely parents, but this time I came to find my dear mother's vintage Escada blazer. And as you can see, I could not resist but to dedicate my first holiday post to this great wardrobe addition. 

blazer: Escada vintage, jeggings: Joseph x 7 for All Mankind, pumps: YSL

A German brand at its core, Escada certainly brings a strictness to European tailoring with this double breasted piece, void of any form fitting finish. Old school in its oversize looking style yet modern with its almost neon green color, this blazer is a timeless piece and will dress up any basic outfit. You can funk it up with jeans and some crazy high heels like I did, or you can definitely sport the businessy look, if you are looking for work-friendly clothing. I don't know if it is the excitement of being back in my city or just the Frenchie in me, but the blazer look is what I love most these days. Also, come to think of it, it's like the double-breasted blazer is the pea coat's finest baby, back in style, and ready to rock the streets. 

Want to get swept off your feel like I did with this statement piece? Thanks for beautiful fashion trends like this one and their constant reinterpretation, you will find similar pieces among Karla Spetic's SS '12 collection with her louis apple green double breasted blazer, or if you prefer a single button closure, Yigal Azrouel makes a pretty sweet version of the apple green blazer too! 


Hoping to have left you off with a sweet green taste in your mouth (or really, your visual appetite), I will let you to enjoy everything green (and red) about today and tomorrow. Merry Christmas / Christmukkah my lovelies!
