It has finally cooled down here in New York after a maddeningly hot Summer so my first item of choice was a cascade collar jacket that I bought from White House Black Market. (I used to work there, hence nearly my whole wardrobe is from there.)
What I loved about the jacket when I bought it was the color, the texture and the fact that it is a knit material. Blazers and jackets are a staple item in any wardrobe and for someone like me, with broad shoulders and a small waist, something knit is key for getting the fit and function you want without having to go to a tailor.
I decided to wear it out to dinner with a friend at a Thai restaurant with some jeans and a white lace cami and my favorite wedges and this was the result…

What I love about this outfit is the casual-chic appeal. I was totally comfortable and the sweater breathed enough for me to go from the cool, rainy street, to the stuffy subway and back.
To style this jacket in other ways for the future I would do it up with some black skinny pants bring out the fierce-ness with some high boots. The nude color of the jacket makes it perfect to pair with some fierce leopard heels as well. (All the rage this season!)
Another fab combo would be to wear it open with a long drapey tank, jeggings and some layered chain necklaces.
Hey lady - I know that outfit! I believe the "friend" you're referring to is me :-)
