Striped Blazer: Marshall’s (similar) | Chambray: Old Navy | Jeans: Old Navy | Necklace: eBay | Shoes: TOMS

I haven’t worn this blazer in AGES. It’s one of those clothing items that I bought, wore a couple times, and then has basically been sitting in my closet for a year. I’ve worn it a couple times on the blog (here and here), but for some unknown reason, I’ve had a REALLY hard time styling it.

I really don’t know why. And I really do love it. Which is why I’ve held onto it.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been cleaning out my closet over the last few months and every time I land on this blazer, I can’t get rid of it. So, I’ve challenged myself to come up with more ways to wear it and style it.

I ended up REALLY liking this combo of the striped blazer, chambray, and my new favorite sparkle necklace.

So, here’s to remixing old wardrobe pieces in 2014!

What about you? Do you have a piece in your closet you just keep holding on to but can’t figure out how to style? How would YOU style a striped blazer?
