5 Reasons An Oversized Neutral Blazer Is Your New Best Friend

I’m definitely one of those people guilty of always having a mental shopping cart of fashion goodies I can’t wait to get my hands on. Unfortunately, my eyes are a tad bigger than my wallet. As as a college student on a budget, I am constantly debating which items are worth the high designer price, and which I’m better off getting a cheaper imitation of. This fall, I plan on splurging for a neutral blazer. It will need to be a high quality piece for how often I’m going to wear it!
