Ways They Wear: The Pink Blazer

If someone told me that they'd been drawing fashion inspiration from The Only Way is Essex, I would normally raise one eyebrow and turn away slowly in disgust, but Lydia Bright is the one character that really has a great sense of style (post of the time). Last nights episode saw her in an outfit I absolutely loved, with a gorgeous neon pink statement blazer teamed with a neutral cream blouse and cute pastel tweed shorts. A pink blazer is now number 1 on my lust list (well, behind a Mulberry Alexa, but thats kind of number 0), so I thought I'd take a look at how other bloggers have chosen to style their pink blazers.

• Blazers are usually a way to add a slightly masculine edge to an outfit, but choosing a pink one cancels this out somewhat and gives the classic piece more of a girly yet quirky look. 
• If the neon is a bit daring for you, a chalky or pale pink blazer looks just as pretty!
• I love the pairing of a bright neon pink blazer with more toned down pastel colours underneath like Lydia did, and in Look 2, which is my favourite of them all. It's the perfect way to introduce the 'spring sorbet' trend into your wardrobe.
• The other looks I chose, I loved for their contrast of a brightly coloured blazer against an otherwise monochrome outfit. The pink blazer gives these outfits a perfect and shocking pop of colour. I think Charlene from Strutt la Mode in Look 4 (one of my FAVOURITE bloggers for her amazing outfits) owns hers particularly well.
• I chose Look 3 as her outfit is definitely something I could see myself wearing day to day, and made me think that a pink blazer would be prefect with my Disco Pants (which I've done a Ways They Wear for)

What do you think of the pink blazer trend? Would you like to bag yourself one for spring or should blazers be strictly black?
