Thank you River Island for sponsoring this post!

Every wardrobe needs a blazer. I have a brown one that I probably wear to work like... twice a week? I know, nasty. (Not really. No shame.) I've been following a sort of formulaic composition for my outfits lately: usually blue jeans, some kind of boot, and a white tee (made trashy by the small detail of a black bra, oops.) To make this one a little more exciting, I love this blazer from River Island. It's a classic silhouette and pattern but with an unexpected twist: bold white, blue, and dark pink stripes. (Get it here.)

What do you think? Once you get a good pair of blue jeans (my current favorites) and some boots you adore, it's time to procure and interesting blazer. (Life is too short to wear boring layers, even in the workplace.) Lucky for you, I compiled a list of my favorites.
