The Essential
Ok, how have I gone this long without a white blazer? I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to switch out the basic black for a crisp white, especially since they both go with just about everything!
When I was putting all my clothes into boxes last week, I made sure to keep the essentials out so they’d be easily accessible during the two weeks that I’m forced to live without a closet (painful). Never before did I think that a white blazer would be a Sonia essential but oh, how it is. I only blog about 2-3 outfit posts a week (as you’re well aware) but let me just say this blazer has made its way into almost all of my daily outfits ever since I received it a few weeks ago. So if you’re aren’t picking up on the message I’m trying to portray here, allow me to lay it out more clearly: if you don’t already own a white blazer, go out and buy one this very second. Seriously, run…don’t walk!

Americana
Unless it’s a Bruce Springsteen concert or the 4th of July, an outfit composed of red, white, and blue is usually a “no no” for me. Kind of like wearing red and green around the holidays – another “no no.” There’s spirit and then there’s spirit and the line between the two is very slender - you’re either the obnoxious person who shows up at a holiday party dressed like a Christmas tree or the meany who refuses to wear any sort of patriotic color combo on July 4th. Come on, not even a blue stripe on your sweater? A star? What gives!?
I received this pair of A|X Armani Exchange pants a couple of weeks ago and admit the whole red pants thing is still a bit of a challenge for me. I either go monochromatic or end up looking like I have more American pride than Uncle Sam. But last week I decided to give in to my nationality and hold up my American passport for all the world to see – not really – though as you can see I did go patriotic from head-to-pointy toe. Sometimes you just gotta embrace a look with a big ol’ bear hug and say to hell with what everyone else thinks (or what my mirror is telling me).
