I’ve actually had this new blazer hanging in my wardrobe since November, dying to share it with you. I’m calling this a SS2021 edition because it’s not really winter wear is it?
I picked the best day to go out and shoot photos. The first sunny day in ages but don’t be deceived. The temperature was minus 3 degrees and it was freezing! I have my Teddy coat hanging on the tripod for warmth as soon as I was done! What us bloggers do eh?
Remember the brand Tissardi that I featured last year? This beautiful bag, such a great Chloe dupe? Hard not to forget because it’s been featured so much. It’s my favourite bag I have in my wardrobe.
This year, from Tissardi I have been kindly gifted this Fulini Virgin Wool Blazer. Now, there was a discrepancy with the sizing here. Totally my fault, I ordered the wrong size and it is supposed to be double-breasted. But after trying it on with a few different outfits I actually like how it fits. I rarely fasten my blazers so I’m happy with it and decided not to exchange.
This Cream blazer will mix well with my SS2021 wardrobe
The jacket is a real super soft wool, it’s unlined but I can deal with that. What I was worried about when I first clapped eyes on this jacket was how I was going to keep it clean. But it’s machine washable at 30 degree’s so this made up my mind to order. I just love how classic and rich looking it is. Love at first sight!
One thing I won’t moan about during lockdown is that I can take photos in areas that would normally be heaving with people. Barley Lands in Essex is full of craft shops and family farm-themed park and is completely deserted and I have the whole place to myself! The grandchildren love it here and we visit often when it’s open. And I must say, it’s lovely to be out for a bit.
I’ve paired the blazer with a simple long-sleeve T-shirt and Cigarette trousers from H&M. I bought the cigarette trousers in black and loved them, so I purchased these beige ones after. They are available in other colours and I’m tempted to buy more. This colour I’m wearing is currently priced at £6.00! but at full price, they are only £17.99 and worth every penny of that
I think the blazer is going to work well with all my neutral-toned wardrobe later in the year and will look great with denim too. I have some cream jeans I think this will look great with it. The quality of the blazer is very good and I think I will love it as much as the bag I received.
The Tissardi site has so many beautiful items for SS2021 on there. I have a huge wish list! including the straight cut leather trousers. But which colour? Hmm. I’ve been promising myself some real leather trousers for some time.

Accessories maketh the outfit
Wearing all neutral tones, accessories are key I think. The Fendi scarf was found in a charity shop years ago and I was so pleased when I found it. On showing it to mum, her eyes lit up. “Oh I love it ” she said. Of course, it came straight off my neck and wrapped onto hers.
Now I have taken possession back. This is the first time I’ve worn it and I could smell her perfume on it. This choked me up a bit.
The Sunglasses I’d like to mention. If any of you are petite like me and find it hard to get the right fitting sunglasses, take a look at SmartBuy Glasses. They have all the designer brands including an Asian fit. Perfect for us Petites! They have some beauties for SS2021
Of course the bag that goes with everything. I just love the colour. It is available in other colours too, but I knew this colour would work best for me and it hasn’t disappointed.
The shoes are from VanDal shoes. The heel height is perfect and these are very comfortable. Currently on sale at the moment, and again the colour mixes well with everything. This is what I love about a capsule wardrobe of neutrals! Everything just pairs together so easily.
And then, of course, the final accessory, my trusty Baukjen belt. This reversible belt (it’s black on the other side) completes my first SS2021 look. Oh, and before I go and warm-up, don’t forget the 20% discount code for Baukjen that I have. The black top that I wore in the last post is just gorgeous. Use the code VM20 for the discount off full-priced items.

Thank you Martina. I have so many scarves, many of them were mums and I just don’t wear them enough. I need to fix that xx
How clever you are with these neutral tones Laurie. On me these would look drab and dull and yet your take is always stylish and classy. The jacket looks like a great addition to your wardrobe and isn’t that good to be able to wash it too?
Wishing you a belated Happy New Year darling.
Keep safe!
Lots of love

Thanks So much Anna. I find it such an easy way to dress and every neutral just pairs up! xx
Laurie, your blazer is absolutely gorgeous! In the spring and summer, I was seeing lots of pure white blazers and I have to admit that I was not much of a fan. But this stunning ivory/winter white shade on a wool blazer is an entirely different story! I would wear this lovely piece in a heartbeat. And how great that it is machine washable. I actually just washed a few blazers in the machine (they were marked dry clean only) and I was pleasantly surprised how well they washed! Thanks for linking!

Can’t wait for the better weather. The blazer will be on repeat!
What us bloggers do indeed! Risk hypothermia and all …
A gorgeous blazer, so I fully understand why you couldn’t wait to show it to us.
The bag is wonderful too, and I’m swooning over that Fendi scarf. What a find!
I hope you are well and keeping safe, Laurie! xxx

Thanks Ann. It makes a change for me to find a good bargain like this xx
You are the epitome of classiness! Each piece works so well with each other and I do love the blazer unbottoned!
What a great memory with the scarf being able to remember your mom when you wear it.

Thank you Mireille. I had forgotten about the scarf and it was good to find it. I don’t think I paid much for it either! xx
Love your first fashion post of 2021, Laurie. Once again, you nailed it with effortless elegance and excellent taste. The blazer is gorgeous, can’t believe that is washable. Sorry to learn that you guys are in lockdown, again. At least you can find some positive sites of it 🙂

Oh to be on your little island Anna. It must be lovely to feel safe too xx
I was just wondering today where you have been! Great Laurie look! Elegant, classy, classic and with neutral colors. Nice to read again from you!
Author
Always here, Nancy! Just a slight change to my usual day of posting. Glad you enjoyed xx
I just love that blazer Laurie. I heard once that quality pieces are unlined because then you can see the workmanship on the inside…it’s not covered by the lining. Interesting huh??
