{The Look for Less: The Pink Blazer}

The Look for Less on the Style Network used to be one of my favortie shows. Unfortunately, they took it off the air a few years ago, but I've decided to bring the idea back on my blog! I'll tell you where I got my inspiration for the look and where I actually went to find the piece or outfit :)

This week, I was inspired by People StyleWatch Magazine (my favorite!). They told readers to break out of the all-black rut and try a high-impact solid colored blazer instead of a traditional black one. They suggested this $179 Fushia Flannel Tuxedo Blazer by Talbots:

It's super cute, but I'm sorry, there's no way I'm spending that much on a blazer.

So I went out shopping this past weekend to see if I could find the look for less.

My first stop was Kohl's. They've got great, trendy designers including Vera Wang, Daisy Fuentes, LC Lauren Conrad and most recently, JLo, so I figured it would be a great place to start.

I love Lauren Conrad's everyday style, but sometimes her clothing line can be a hit or miss. Luckily, this weekend it was a hit! I saw this cute LC blazer that resembled the Talbots one and instantly loved it.

It's simple and sophisticated, and best of all, you can dress it up or dress it down. It's got ruched insets on the sleeves for a feminine touch and it fit me like a glove. It's a little more cropped than the Talbots blazer, but I almost like that more. With my coupon I was able to get it for just under $40. The color is mauve pink, and it also comes in a pretty dark gray.

Thanks for reading and be sure to check out this blazer and the rest of the LC Lauren Conrad collection here!

XoXo,
