Balmain Wool Double-Breasted Jacket curated on LTK

I often talk about adding polish to your looks by adding a third layer. In the case above, my third layer is a structured, stunning, black Balmain blazer. This is a huge investment piece. I’ve owned mine for three years and I have traveled all over the world in it… and just LOVE wearing it! It is totally worth the money in my opinion. The blazer takes the simple cami and jeans and adds maximum sophistication, elevating the whole look. (I’m wearing a size 38. True to size, but narrow in shoulders.) ~Erin xo

I’m wearing a black knit top by Open Edit. It’s thick and structured enough to wear without a bra if you are smaller-chested. If you need a bra, I would suggest strapless since the neckline is square and the straps on a regular bra would likely show. The top is cropped and body-skimming so tucking isn’t an issue. Fit runs true to size.

I’ve had this Bottega Veneta Cassette bag for several years now, and I love it as much as when I first got it. It’s such a standout bag that adds a real luxe statement to any look.

Here’s what I love about each of these pieces…
1 | The white button-down is a perfect example of a classic basic with a modern twist. The cropped fit is very flattering, and the short sleeves with button-tab cuffs feel really utilitarian and cool.
2 | This brown belt has been a heavy hitter since the moment I got it. The oval gold belt buckle is timeless in its design. It’s just a really lovely versatile basic to have in your closet.
3 | It’s not often you can find a pair of denim shorts that fit well, feel super comfortable, are flattering, have a great wash/design, and are affordable… but these check all the boxes!!! If you buy one pair of shorts this season, this is the pair to buy!
4 | A light neutral blazer is a sophisticated layer that adds instant polish to any outfit… and it’s the perfect basic to carry for when you are in an air-conditioned building and need something to throw over your shoulders in the summertime.

The power piece you didn’t know you needed, and now you won't stop thinking about it… is this gorgeous Veronica Beard denim blazer! And it’s currently 40% off!!!!

The blazer is SO good because of its sophisticated details like the luxe gold buttons and structured, padded shoulders. The shoulders create width across the top, which in contrast with the tailored waist, gives the illusion of a smaller waist. The cotton blend fabric is thick enough to provide structure but is also quite breathable and lightweight for those who run hot. Since this blazer is denim, you can style it multiple ways: casually for lunch or dress it up for work or dinner.

In this look, I styled the blazer with one of my favorite basic white tees by ATM, a pair of cropped white jeans by L’Agence, and some neutral Sam Edelman pumps. Pairing the blazer with whites and light neutrals like this feels so fresh and springy.

I completed the look with some cool Le Specs aviator sunglasses and my beautiful Bottega Veneta cassette bag that I’ve owned for a few years. All of these pieces run true to size.

I LOVE blazers… and this gorgeous oversized linen blazer is one of my absolute favorites for summer!

I wear this chic blazer all.the.time… with shorts, jeans, over dresses… you name it! But my favorite way to wear it is as a set with its coordinating shorts. I may be partial to the super chic B belt😉, but the overall fit of the shorts is perfection. They’re high-waisted, which combined with the wider leg opening, makes your waist and legs look smaller. And the set just looks so cool!

This gorgeous denim blazer is THE power piece of the season that is sure to get you compliments!!! @nordstrom #nordstrompartner

I love this blazer so so so much. It's really next-level because of thecreates elevated details, like the luxe gold buttons and structured padded shoulders. The shoulders create width across the top, which in contrast to the tailored waist, creates the illusion of a smaller waist and more of an hourglass shape. It’s basically an instant confidence boost the second you put it on! The cotton-blend fabric is thick enough to create beautiful structure, but is also quite breathable and lightweight for those that run hot.

Comment BLAZER and I’ll send you a message with a link to shop both of these looks. Sometimes technology acts up, so if you don’t get a message right away, you can always shop these outfits on the @shop.LTK app. 😉

Which look is your favorite?? 🤍🖤

This is an easy, chic desk-to-dinner look! I’m wearing a Veronica Beard denim blazer with a pair of black Favorite Daughter wide-leg pants. These are the “Shortie” pants, but they also come in a regular length. Even the Shortie length is a little long on me (I’m 5’4”) so I have to wear heels. The wide-leg is SO flattering and I love that the pleating isn’t too overwhelming in the midsection.

Under the blazer, I’m wearing a black knit top by Open Edit. It’s thick and structured enough to wear without a bra if you are smaller-chested. If you need a bra, I would suggest strapless since the neckline is square and the straps on a regular bra would likely show. The top is cropped and body-skimming so tucking isn’t an issue- a must with pleated pants, so you don’t add bulk around the tummy.

I completed the look with a classic pair of black booties, a black belt, and cool Quay cat-eye sunglasses, but you could make accessory swaps to make it more or less work-appropriate. This is such a modern, unexpected office outfit idea that will easily transition to dinner. If you want to add more va-va-voom, take your blazer off when you get to dinner to show off the sexy square neckline of the top. All of these pieces run true to size.

OKAY… the piece you didn’t know you needed, and now you can’t stop thinking about it… this gorgeous Veronica Beard denim blazer!

I am showing you 3 different and simple ways to style it so you can see how versatile it is. The blazer is SO good because of the elevated details like the luxe gold buttons and structured, padded shoulders. The shoulders create width across the top, which in contrast with the tailored waist, creates the illusion of a smaller waist, and more of an hourglass shape. This is great for anyone with a boxier, rectangular shape like mine or someone who wants to accentuate their curves. The cotton blend fabric is thick enough to create structure, but is also quite breathable and lightweight for those that run hot. Fits run true to size for all pieces.

This beautiful one-shoulder cotton dress from ME+EM is sophisticated, simple, elegant, and SO comfortable. It is a dress you will want to wear again and again and again this spring and summer… on a beach vacation, by the pool, out to dinner, to any party, and even running errands with sneakers or flats…it’s that versatile!

The one-shoulder neckline adds a dash of sexy and modernity to the dress. It has a flattering smocked bodice that feels very secure. Depending on your comfort level and size of your bust, you can even wear it with or without a strapless bra. There’s also a thin grip strip at the top that helps keep it in place, so you don’t have to worry about tugging or pulling. The skirt of the dress is a gauzy cotton that’s very breathable and lightweight… perfect for those hot summer days! It is lined so you don’t have to worry about any see-through factor either. Oh, and I almost buried the lead… It has pockets! Fit is true to size.

I styled the dress with a sophisticated pair of kitten heel, sling-back sandals.. These sandals are that perfect combination of elevated and casual so you can easily dress them up or down. I love the oversized pearl details that add a touch of femininity. The straps are elastic and the slingback has an adjustable buckle for added comfort and the perfect fit, plus the block heel is less than two inches, making these very manageable, comfortable, and easy to walk in…YAY! Fit runs true to size.

IF you want to mask a tummy, slim your waist, and accentuate your curves, try these 2 simple style tricks this season! 💫✨🌟

1 | Wear a Peplum Top - Peplum tops not only slim your waist and mask a tummy, but they also help to create that coveted hourglass figure! I love this beautiful peplum top, because the fabric is really forgiving and the body-skimming fit is very elegant.
2 | Wear darker colors - Darker colors, like black, will mask any insecurities better than lighter colors will. This applies for any part of the body. Looking to minimize a bust… wear a darker top. Looking to minimize your thighs… try darker wash jeans. In this case, the black peplum top pulls double duty to slim the overall silhouette while creating a beautiful hourglass shape.

I’ll be wearing this top for date night, travel, parties, and more this summer! Fits are true to size.
