Blazing saddles

I've always had the most difficult time finding a blazer that I like, and I finally found one that fit me well!

I guess my issues were always my broad shoulders and small chest, haha.  Either my shoulders felt like they were going to bust out of the size that fit my small chest and waist, or my boobs and waist were too small for the size that fit my broad shoulders!  Since this one is not your typical blazer, it worked well with my body type.

Gap "Band blazer" - Navy, $98.

I would have preferred the gray-ish herringbone color better, but they were sold out online AND in my local store.  Despite that, navy is still a very versatile color.

Although this won't go great over a girly dress (... or will it?), I have a preppy-equestrian style in mind after buying a $12 khaki skirt from Nordstrom.  It involves a nautical or plain creamy shirt, boots or black flats, a high waisted, A-line khaki skirt and my blazer.

Or... I'd use my new khaki skirt, my chambray top, and a woven Nordstrom belt I have to re-recreate this look from http://kendieveryday.blogspot.com/:

I don't get how these ladies with "What I Wore"-type blogs look cute EVERY DAY!  I look like a bum 4 out of 7 days a week--typically on UCLA football game days, days that I'm late to class, or days in which I don't have class, thus I stay in my pajamas.
