There are a lot of very severe-looking double-breasted black blazers out there, but what I like about this one is that it feels relaxed and easy to wear. It's also in a lighter fabric that's perfect for summer. This one is a bit of a splurge, but it's worth investing in.
What makes this look work so well is that it's all about contrast: structured and flowy, casual and dressed up. This leopard-print slip dress is a key component, and that big slit is necessary for a bit of sexiness.
The woman in the photo is probably carrying a Loewe tote, and while I am up for a good designer bag, spending that much on straw just seems ridiculous to me. So here's a cheap and cheerful alternative.

One of my favorite parts of her look is the heavy chain-link and lock necklace that she's wearing—it feels very current and luxe, especially against the low-key feel of her other accessories.
Finally, her shoes are cut off in this photograph, but she's wearing simple white slides that have a bit of an athletic sandal feel. I like this pair because they're a bit more feminine (and they're on major sale).
Kate Spade festival sandal $69.99

I like this look because it is simple but makes a lot of statement

I don t have a slip dress but this combination is so good that I might have to buy one!
What a chic combo! I love the slides you found to go with it too.

I think the blazer really makes this look stand out! It's such a nice combo, one I wish I could pull off but I find midi dresses tricky and while I have tired a blazer and midi dress combo it didn't look as effortless as this, ha!
Hope you had a lovely weekend :) Thanks so much for joining the #WeekdayWearLinkup last week! The new link up is live on my blog now, I'd love you to join again. :)

Love this combo, sexy and chic at the same time.
The gold pendant necklace looks great too!
Gah I love this combination! I need more slip dresses! Thanks for sharing and linking up, my friend.
