While this is my second account (just couldn't remember the old one), I have been a member for some time. I get a lot of ideas from many of you, I feel as though my sense of style has expanded based solely on the members here.
I just wanted to give you a heads up that Spier & Mackay is blowing out select suits and blazers, and extra 20% off:
https://www.spierandmackay.com/
.
I inadvertently stumbled onto the website a few months back (the showroom is actually 20 minutes from my office) and was able to grab two linen and two wool blazers for considerable discounts. I am amazed at the range in fabric, this is what's turned me onto them the most. When I was much younger, like many 20 and 30 year olds, I was mesmerized by labels. As I aged (and discovered this Board, I learned to look for fabric over label which in many times ends up saving money).
My favourite purchase is this one: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/blue-stripe-seersucker---neapolitan-cut-102288-324522-ss20
The pictures do not do this blazer justice. When it arrived, the blue just popped, I've been counting down the days to the warmer weather so I can wear it!
But my question is related to this one: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/angelico-light-brown-windowpane-2326-3362-22152-fw20
Admittedly, it's been sitting in my "shopping bag" since Christmas. It is so different than anything I have for the winter but I cannot let go of the stigma in my head of wearing a cream blazer in cold weather.
What would you do with this blazer? How would you match it, what would you pair it with, or do I just pass on it because of the lack of versatility?
Thanks in advance.
