The other day, M asked about blazers. So I figured I’d do a couple posts with different kinds of blazers. Mama Hoomster loves blazers, you guys. She teaches at the shittiest private school in existence and every day she wears either her pants/blouse, blouse/skirt, or shalwar kameez (our cultural Indian/Pakistani clothes, ranging from very simple plain old cotton to super fancy and sewn with actual gold or silver thread and tons of beads and god knows what else), and then wears a blazer with a brooch on top.
(Also, if you are a Muslim in the Chicagoland area, do not ever send your kids to the College Preparatory Shithole of America. It’s run by a bunch of clods who have completely lost their ever-loving minds, if they ever had them in the first place, which is, spoiler alert, highly doubtful.)
Blazers (with a brooch on the lapel) are Mama Hoomster’s trademark. Every time any other teacher at the Shithole attempts to wear a blazer, everyone makes comments about how she’s channeling Mama Hoomster. It would actually be kind of cute if it wasn’t so weird. Eh.
So the other day, I had a look up that featured a blazer with a cute top underneath, bootcut jeans, and heels. Today, I’m back with another blazer look.

I picked this pretty green patterned dress from Kohl’s. Sometimes I like patterns, you guys. I just make sure to keep everything else very simple if I’m rocking prints. I love the color of this dress – that bright, bold green/blue combination is just lovely. But then again, I have been feeling green lately. Maybe that’s it.
I paired it with a pair of black pumps that probably wouldn’t have been my first choice (I don’t wear peep toes all that often) but made the cut because they fit my budget. :-P
And of course, the blazer. I picked a black 3-button one to throw on top of the dress, and added a turquoise necklace.
If that dress was more of a sheath dress and several inches shorter, we could call this our Jennifer Aniston look. :-D She loves wearing sparkly minidresses with blazers and stilettos. Hell, if I had her legs, I would, too.
No, I wouldn’t.
But I’d think about it.
