Blazing Hot

Darlings, you know how CC loves trans-seasonal pieces, right? Oh, how the four-season blazer was positively rampant on the SS ’10 runways! Utilized with everything from shorts to ball gowns, these toppers are… well… tops! Go blaze a trail! Runway photos via style.com except where noted.

Or do you prefer separates?

Under most circumstances, CC wears these pieces separately...

Grab your suit jacket and wear it with jeans ~ so chic!
