My DD and I went for Chinese food last night with a friend of mine and her DD. Both DDs are 15 and both moms are 48. We were thinking that as you get older, it's rare to have friends who are just the same age as you anymore.

My friend is co-CEO of a family business. Most of her 75-odd employees are men who work outside. Her style is ultra-casual, but she always has her colors right and has good accessories. She was asking where I got my blazer (BCBG, actually I will do a WIW for it later) because she wants one for the occasional semi-formal meeting. I told her, but was trying to think of a good style blazer to suggest for her, also. Mine was more suited to short people like myself.

She's 5'9.5" tall, neither very slender, nor very heavy. Kind of built like someone who would row crew, but more of a rectangle than IT shape. She has light long-ish blond hair, blue eyes and a pink and white complexion. I just can't see her in a standard two button navy blazer, but she does need something with a slightly commanding presence. Anyone fit this shape and have suggestions?
