Spring is around the corner, my obsession with a white blazer is bigger than ever.  I really don't know how I got obsessed with this, but I think it started with this 
Pinterest post I saw last year:

I thought it was a fun, chic, travel-to-Europe-and-be-cool look.  I wanted to be that girl.  So, off I went, in search of a white blazer.
I found one last summer at 
Ann Taylor.  It was a cotton sateen, cute jacket, on sale for $99. Great way to test out the look.  It kind of looks like this:

I wore it with a matte metallic tank underneath, AG Ballad jeans in a mid-wash, and nude strappy heels, long gold pendant necklace.  Loved it!  Great for a casual night out.
This year, I also wanted something a little more dressy, a little longer and found a great one at the 
W by Worth show:

While I eagerly await its arrival, I've been thinking about ways to wear it, so that it doesn't scream 'Miami Vice'.  I put some inspirational items on my Pinterest board, but thought I'd share them here.
The 'column of black' underneath is a great idea, with either chic flat or great heel:

Ok, it also helps to be Kate Moss.  Just saying.
Anyway, another look, over a dress:

Or, with lighter shirt, skinny black bottoms and cute cheetah ballet flats:

Items that are current potential partners for my white blazer include this white lace t-shirt, with a slight scoop neck, from W by Worth:

To be paired with skinny dark pants...

Or how about a pair of leggings?  In leather?  That I just happened to find on sale?  I know, crazy, but they are really fantastic!

Very sharp outfit, for the long transitional season we have here in New England.  How would you wear a white blazer? ~ JH
