I said I would be back with a more professional twist on the last outfit, and I am. It was simple enough, and I stayed true to what I said in the last post as far as structuring the ensemble and working with the colors.

What makes a good statement blazer so eye-catching is usually

Last time, I talked about wearing a pretty dress with a blazer. My procedure was simple:
