My blue velvet Frame Blazer came back from the Tailor. I had ordered it in two sizes and kept the one that was too large. The tailor reduced it a bit, but not too much, because I kind of liked the over sized look.

I did a Pinterest search to hunt for some inspiring ways to wear it.

The first picture is not something I tried, but the jeans reminded me of the Frame Denim jeans that Una copied with a twist. Look very carefully, one leg has a shorter hem in front, and one has a shorter hem in back?! Okay, that's about as RATE as it gets right? What do you think?

Pic two is my favorite look. For whatever reason, I have a lot of looks with hats but I don't wear them very often because they aren't appropriate for indoors. I purchased one however, and I like it. I think the inspiration photo shows a white shirt, but I used a grey tank top instead. I don't have an animal print clutch. I decided my brown Donald Pliner equestrian booties, and a brown Coach bag with a brass horse logo would substitute. I'm not sure I would ever wear this because the scarf hanging like this is a nuisance! What do you think?

SJP likes Velvet Blazers! I found a lot of pics featuring her. I struggled to find the right grey top. I tried a grey tee, a grey blouse and a grey sweatshirt instead. The sweatshirt worked best. The metallic finish shoes make the outfit, so I pulled out my Paul Green Dorsay pumps. It looks like she has some sort of fringe hanging from one arm. I put on a bracelet that has a fringe tassel. I didn't bother to push up my sleeves, that looked too rate for me. What do you think?

My next look is a combination of two inspiration photos. I have been working to incorporate more texture, so I found this picture with a lace top underneath a velvet blazer. I also liked the next picture. Notice the Yorkie/Scottie Belt? It made me think of Angie! I liked the cuffed boyfriend jeans and it somehow inspired me to incorporate my animal print Beautifeel pumps. I never purchased classic boyfriend jeans, maybe I'm the only person who didn't? In any case, these are straight leg jeans, (Joes Jeans) not boyfriend, but they are large on me.

My final look is clearly a departure. I do not wear ripped jeans, but I liked the idea of some sort of interesting detail for the jeans. I decided on pattern, and paired my polka dot Hudson Jeans with a striped shirt, and plaid scarf from J Crew. The color scheme is are clearly different from the original. I chose shoes to bookend the jacket, similar to what was done in the inspiration picture. In this case, some Thierry Rabotin flats. Maybe mine is a more polished version? Is it frumpy looking? What do you think?
