Style Shopper: Minimalist Open Front Blazers

Posted on February 16, 2016

There is nothing I love better than a minimalist open front blazer.

It looks casual but yet professional and chic, and you can wear it over ANYTHING even just jeans and a t-shirt, and it amps up all your looks.

I also have a soft spot for thin and soft lapels because it softens my inverted triangle (read: linebacker) shoulders and makes me look less boxy up top when I want to wear skinny jeans..

I like all the colours possible and all the lengths (except cropped ones, they make my shoulders look bigger). I especially like ivories, whites and creams, but I even own a blazer in black, and other colours like cobalt blue and dark brown.

The best colours are neutral ones, but I love me a good graphic print as well.

I got out of $60,000 of debt in 18 months using TheBudgetingTool.com. Since then, I have worked 50% of my career (taking 1-2 year breaks), and quadrupled my income within 2 years of graduating, going from $65K to $260K (savings rate = 85%). I could retire today if I wanted, but love my work-life balance as a freelancing consultant in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). I also post daily on Instagram @saverspender.
