My favorite 88 cent tweed blazer with black edging |
Cream polka dot blazer by Target, thrifted |
Black grid blazer with subtle black edging by Target, also thrifted |
What I really want is a true, cool grey blazer with black edging (the grey blazer I have now is the much warmer taupe-grey in the third outfit here) but I cannot find one anywhere! The closest I have come shopping online is a $500+ Theory blazer in grey with white edging. This type of edged/tipped/whatever blazer used to be commonplace from J. Crew, Lands End, and Gap (among countless others, no doubt).
I mean, look at the fabulous bright-magenta-with-white version from Gap that Kate at a Journey in Style is wearing here (this week)! (WANT.)
And looking on Pinterest, I found the grey/black tipped blazer of my dreams, which Lauren at Fizz and Frosting purchased from Target! (Is it just me or does it look a lot like my thrifted Target blazers above?)
She pointed me to this blazer at JC Penney that is in the realm, but not quite right. It's 3/4 length sleeves and a very light grey. Actually, it would be a really nice one for spring. Maybe I've convinced myself to try it....Hah, so I just went to buy that blazer and by the time I went to check out, they alerted me that it was no longer available in my size. Thanks JCP!
I even looked at eBay and ThredUp but did not find any edged blazers in my size (I did not do a thorough examination of every size of blazer for sale, but I suspect that there is a size 4 J. Crew one available somewhere for like $250, used, to the desperate customer).
If you happen across a relatively inexpensive tipped blazer in an interesting color or pattern (I am pretty much crazy for this plaid one from Boden, but even on sale, I can't justify spending over $100 for it) or a grey with black tipped blazer at all out there on the Interwebs, let me know! I am on the hunt for tipped blazers!
