It’s good to step out of your comfort zone, whether that be with things or with experiences, in this case, this satin blazer. I have always been a little apprehensive about changing or doing something out of my norm because I like certainty.

 I like knowing what something will taste like, look like, feel like, etc. So stepping out of that and trying things I normally wouldn’t takes some effort. BUT, it always pays off!

When I was in b-school, I had an opportunity to take a trip to another country to do some consulting work. My first instinct was to choose Spain or somewhere in Africa, but I took a leap of faith and chose to work in India. I had never been to that part of the world before and knew this my chance. That trip was an amazing experience, and I cannot wait for another opportunity to go back.

If you all haven’t noticed from my Instagram and blog posts as of late, I have a color palette that I really like: blush, white, tan, and black. But when I saw this copper satin blazer on blogger/thriftinista FannyPHX shop, I HAD to have it! It was just too good to pass up. The outfit was already planned in my mind before it was delivered, THAT GOOD!

Happy I decided to veer off my usual course and do something out of the norm. I absolutely love this look in all of its satin-y goodness. I’m a fan of dressing down outfits that should otherwise be dressy. Could’ve gone with heels for this look but wanted to show you a more realistic option. Sneakers are so much more comfy when walking the streets of DTLA.
