Striped Knit Blazer Remix
I’m going to pretend like it’s Monday on a Tuesday because I want a do-over. It was a productive day at work though, so I’ll count that as a mark in the “pros” column for yesterday, but that might be it.

blazer:: Merona (this year’s) belt:: J.Crew (similar) dress:: Madewell bag:: Kate Spade New York shoes:: Mossimo (similar)
These aren’t the best pictures (and my hair+humidity don’t mix) and you’re only getting three, so second Monday fail, but this was so comfortable and I loved how it was pretty much all knit. Structured knits are my best friends. Stretch and fit? It doesn’t happen that often in garments, so Im scooping them up.
Technically I’m already in my fall wardrobe, but I haven’t finalized the number or pieces. The pieces I’ve been wearing are part of the 60-ish I’ve got hanging up, but I’m trying to continue to whittle it down. I’ve got a rough idea hanging in the closet and I hope to make my final decisions this week.
What do you think about structured knits? Favorite or pass?

This is so cute! My hair doesn't do well in the heat either, so you're not alone! Knit blazers are my favorite because they're so comfortable and don't feel as constructing as regular blazers!

I love it! I must admit I hesitate with horizontal stripes ALL the time. I just do. But you've shown me the light!
This is such a chic look! I love structured knits. I own two knit blazers (black and coral) and they are super versatile… one of my best purchases of the year!
I love structured knits! I would buy a ponte blazer in every color if I could. But then my closet would be even more ridiculously full, so I won't. I hope your Tuesday is better than Monday was!
Ooo I never thought of pairing my striped blazer with a white dress, but this is a great idea! And I'm with Andi, I love ponte blazers!
Cute! I have a tendency to wrinkle everything the moment I put it on, so maybe I should really look into a structured knit blazer.
I love that outfit! Pieces that are comfortable but look more "presentable" than they feel are where it's at!
Structured knits are a win in my book! I LOVE your stripes! Love love love this look on you!
Love that blazer on you!! Such a great remix!

I really like the stripe blazer and white dress, pretty!
Thanks! I not that white and black are that far of a stretch, but I was really happy with it.
Thanks Angela! It's one of my favorites!
Thanks so much J! It helps that I love it too!
Right? Nice cuts in comfortable fabrics. Win win.
The ponte knits that I linked to are more structured than the one I'm wearing too and they're forgiving. Also typically washable, which makes life so much easier.
They're the best! I plan on doing this again into winter with boots. I'm in love with it.
Haha! But nobody has to know how full your closet is! Thanks so much for the well wishes. It definitely was!
Thanks Abby! My knit blazers are those pieces that I sit there and think what would I ever do without them!
Girl! You can rock the horizontal stripes! With me being a pear shape, it's actually recommended for me to wear stripes on the top because it balances out the bottom.
Thank you Sara! Sometimes I want to just trade it all in and wear a wig. They're definitely not as confining. And the sleeves move with me. I have chunky upper arms and knit blazers enable me to get a good fit in the body and then stretch in the arms.
I love structured knits! I actually have a veryyyy similar striped knit blazer! Its fun to see the ways you style it.
That blazer is really fun, Meghan! I really like the stripes – and it looks perfect with that white dress I hope you have a better week!!
