Happy Monday!  I cannot tell you how happy I am now that the sun has finally returned!  We had over a week of gloomy, rainy weather and it was starting to get to me.  I will definitely be venturing out for a long walk today.  On another note, who watched the royal wedding on Saturday?  I’m not big on the royals but I have to say, I’m loving Meghan Markle and I was dying to see her dress so I was up bright and early.  I thought the wedding was beautiful.  I love that they had it in St.George’s chapel versus Westminster Abbey.  It seemed much more personal and warm.  And can we talk about the dress?  Perfection!  I’m always of the mindset that less is more.  It was simple, elegant, and timeless.  I also loved her evening dress.  Another effortlessly chic look.  Meghan is killing it!

Okay, onto this stand collar blazer.  I’ve been on the hunt for this style blazer for quite some time.  While I’m coveting this version in every color, it is a tad pricey so I was determined to find a save option.  Fast forward to last week when I was in Zara shopping for jeans (I ended up getting this pair fyi) and I spotted this blazer for under $50.  It fits perfectly, doesn’t look cheap, and it’s practically the same exact style as the splurge one.  I initially wanted this blazer in black but I’m actually liking the navy better.  It goes with everything and instantly elevates any look.  Zara has a great collection of blazers in a variety of styles and I’m loving their jean selection as well.  Just remember to size up when you’re shopping there because they tend to run small.
