So when Caroline asked for my suggestions on what to wear to an upcoming high school reunion I dove right in putting together three different outfits using the same black velvet blazer. Classic pieces in rich textures give each look a certain effortlessness that will carry you through catching up with old beaus and BFFs alike.

Wow, C, I really love all these outfits! The chevron and angora one is my my favorite… It looks so chic and classy.
You’re too sweet Aimee! The chevron and angora was my favorite too, very me

When it comes to pieces I consider investment – worthy, a well tailored black blazer (be it this sumptuous velvet one from J Crew or not) is on the top of my list. I found mine at Zara when I lived abroad, one of my favorite purhases.
they are all great! i love the power suit look, and the shoes in the chevron look are so cute!
Thanks Meg & Nora! In my opinion nothing is sexier than a velvet power suit.
The color block dress is darling!
I thought so too Taylor, I wouldn’t have thought to mix those colors together but it really works.
I would go for the second look! Love the dress and the knee high boots.

Isn’t that color blocked sweater dress fun?! I can totally picture you in that outfit Meredith!
I love them all, my favorite is outfit 3. You are so awesome for posting this for me. I think the blazer is a great idea and I would wear it to more things than the reunion.
I’m so glad you like the outfits Caroline! In my opinion a classic, well fitting black blazer is worth the investment since you’ll wear it forever. Thank you so much for thinking of me, I had a lot of fun putting this post together. And if you feel comfortable I would LOVE it if you sent me a pic of what you end up wearing to the reunion!
Great suggestions! I actually wore an outfit just like the first one to my high school reunion 7 years ago!!
Cute outfit ideas. The first one is my favorite.
