The Grey Checked Blazer With Black Boots

Last month, or maybe around 5-6 weeks ago, Adam and I were in town doing some shopping and this is the outfit that I wore. It was fairly cool that day, so something like this was fairly appropriate, but thinking about it now as it’s really hot today and around 32C tomorrow, it’s making me sweat, ha ha. But this is why I usually love the milder weather the most because I can layer and put things together, and I get to wear tall boots, which are my favourite!

For this look, I was wearing my New Look Checked Blazer (which you have seen here before) and I layered it over my Mango Knitted Tank Top. I then went for my L’AGENCE Margot Skinny Jeans in Graphite, as you know I adore those, and threw on my ASOS Western Belt around the middle. Now for the accessories, I chose my Ted & Muffy/DUO Empress Over The Knee Boots in Black Suede, my Gucci Dionysus Suede Mini Bag in Taupe, and my Swarovski Tinkerbell Necklace.

Getting to wear my over the knee boots again is always a dream. I can never get enough of how they really dress up an outfit, as well as give me confidence when I’m walking. But the star of this outfit though is probably the checked blazer, it only cost me around £30, which I think is a great price for a jacket that looks quite classy, despite being from New Look. It’s one of those pieces that dresses up really well, and I like that. It’s always about mixing the high pieces with the low pieces. What do you think of this outfit on me? I would love to know your thoughts! Lorna xx.

P.S. – I will be doing a July update very soon as I know I haven’t done one in a while!

Honestly Lorna, is there nothing you can’t wear and look terrific?! Great combination, love you in the jeans too, but it’s how you’ve got everything to gel so effortlessly.

I love the look of the whole outfit. And, of course, boots are just cooler than shoes so they are my favorite as too! 🙂

that’s a great blazer and looks so good on you with the jeans! 🙂 I love a blazer and denim outfit 🙂

It’s great you are getting warmer weather now too! We have had almost summer like days despite the cold wintery mornings recently, so I’m trying to wear all my winter pieces I haven’t worn yet before spring arrives haha!

Hope that your week is off to a good start 🙂

  Ha ha, it is good and it’s bad, it’s supposed to be 39C tomorrow and I’m horrified by the thought of it! So glad you like the outfit though, Mica! 🙂

Thirty pounds for that blazer? Screaming deal of the year. And those boots are just perfect.

I find plaid jacket like this classic and a staple to anyone’s wardrobe. I like how you style it here with OTK boots.

Love this fallish outfit Lorna! I am also looking for a grey plaid blazer and a camel/brown plaid blazer for fall. I love the length on yours with the tall boots. Gorgeous!

Another victory for grey, I reckon. 🙂 It’s not just the colours though as I think that the shape of this outfit has equally as much to do with how great it looks as the colour combination does. You look really elegant. The second photo in this post is terrific, btw. 🙂
