Today I'm loving...

... this gorgeous Alexander McQueen double breasted blazer.

I love hounds-tooth patterns as you may know, and I have a rather new fondness for blazers, too, after my beloved navy blue Yves Saint Laurent blazer went missing during my move a couple of months back (I am still in mourning!!), so I am trying to find a new absolutely stunning blazer to replace it with. I am not sure this blazer is as versatile as much YSL one (although it does look pretty darn perfect for work), but it's definitely a contender!

Look I am loving right now

The striped blazer! I think it looks so great on so many people (I ran into a girl wearing a stunning white blazer with blue stripes today), so I am really tempted to buy one.

The thing is, I have never really been a big blazer wearer. I mean, I have some of course, but I rarely wear them. Not even this amazing, vintage YSL blazer I got a few years ago. So I am not sure buying more blazers is the best of ideas. But this look is sooo cute, I find it really hard to resist.

Normally what I would do in a situation like this would be to buy a cheap version of the trend, but the cheapest one I have found so far would cost me around $150 (it's from an online store that charges ridiculous amounts to ship to where I live), so it's still a lot of money if you end up never wearing it.

What do you think about this trend? Love it or hate it? Do any of you readers own a striped blazer? And if so, do you actually wear it?
