Ok. Well, Angie & Anna got me going on the idea of a bright blazer for spring in mint. (Mint!) This is my take within the context of my native costume (be happy I didn't say "sartorial vernacular"). Wore it on a rainy day. Got props from the hipster surfer girl.

Pic #2 is me buying the blazer in Forever 21. My slightly weird red dress, but which I love and could have sworn was warmer than it is...
