Versatile Style: Nasty Gal Beach Club Blazer

By Alex K.

As I’m doing plenty of extra-curricular research this year, I’ve been examining my office wardrobe and realizing that it’s not quite up to snuff. I have plenty of button-up shirts and dressy pants, but other than that, my business casual wardrobe is lacking. I hate buying pieces strictly for work, so I was on the hunt for a versatile addition to my wardrobe that could work for a day at the office or a night on the town. Cue the Nasty Gal Beach Club Blazer!

This peachy-tone blazer is a chic, throwback piece. It’s reminiscent of the 80′s, but features a modern cut. A blazer is very grown-up piece that every college student should own. You don’t see freshman at the bar sporting blazers; it’s a sophisticated jacket that adds maturity to any outfit. And it will work for many occasions!

Let’s start with the office.

I love the pastel tone of the blazer and wanted to compliment that with a minty dress. The ruffles make it super lady-like. The infamous “Alex” espadrilles can now be found from your favorite budget brands and make this outfit summery. The Rebecca Minkoff purse is a bit of a luxury item, but super professional in shape. Add subtle friendship bracelets and dainty pearls for your jewelery and you’re done!

And now night.

Just let me say that I’m in love with this look! It’s so fashion forward. Start with a pair of high-waisted, pleated shorts and add a crochet top. The detail on this one is magnificent! The punchy orange shoes are unexpected but so fun! Compliment the orange with a gemstone ring and any others you like. I chose a simple cross design. Lastly, climb to fashionista status with a turban headband (a turban, if you will).

That’s that! If you’re liking what you see, you can find the Beach Club Blazer at Nasty Gal for $68.
