Can you wear colored blazers to the office?
Absolutely!
Pairing a colored blazer with an all neutral foundation (like I've done here) really makes the color pop! And the color on your upper half brings the focus where you want it...near your face. Well, unless you prefer your lower half...but save that for after work hours.

I like the recommendation of a neutral base for a color blazer. Very fresh and pretty.
Oooh! I love your blazer! The wrong little pic was uploaded for my linking :-( Is there any way to change that? Thank you!

I was in love with pink blazers until I see your blue blazer....such a beautifully refreshing color for the summer and it goes perfect with your white outfit! :)
I don't have any colorful blazers, but now I think I should. Good idea pairing it with neutrals.

The soft blue is SO great Marion! With the white you look like you could be a Carolina girl :-) Great challenge as always!
Very chic! Keeping with neutrals is a very safe and stylish way to wear this trend! You look great!
LOVE the color of this blazer on you! It is so chic and summery paired with white!
I LOVE your blazer! I love the sleeve length and the color! I have a dark fuschia color that I have worn to work a few times. I always feel self-conscious even though I have received compliments on it. Great look! :)
Pretty! 103 here...no jacket of any kind is wearable right now!
Great blazer, Marion! I love the blue color and that you paired it with all white - what a perfect summer work look! :)
Love your splash of color, makes me think of Cali cool meets Breakfast at Tiffany's --lol, very cute!
Yay thank you for hosting this! I'm so excited I finally get to participate!
You always look more than amazing-so classy and chic. I love what you've put together here!

Yay, challenge time! Love your blazer. I've been hesitant about wearing one to the office, but you've just inspired me. Will definitely try it soon. You look gorgeous darling. I love the hair too. I would love to wear a head band and pony, but they hurt after 30 minutes of wearing :-( Does that happen to you?

That turquoise looks gorgeous against the whites! I love your wide leg pants too, Marion!

Okay I seriously need to bribe someone to take pictures of my because I want to play! I love the blue on you, it's gorgeous! Can't wait to check out some of these other fun ladies outfits! :)
I love the way the blue pops against the all white ensemble! *sigh* And how is it that you have such a gorgeous tan and I'm still looking like a sparkly vampire... and I live in Florida?!? You look gorgeous! =)
@ everyone - Thank you for such thoughtful comments ladies (as always!) I am off to go explore each of your blazer looks! :)
@ Di - Totally know what you mean by headbands hurting the head! I have maybe 10 headbands total but only wear 2 of them because they are the only ones that are somewhat pain-free. Such a bummer...

XO,

I'm really loving that you have done an all white ensemble to make that blazer pop...but still added a little texture and interest with the striped top. Really chic and spunky!

Love your look, with the white basics providing a neutral foundation for the bright blazer. Such a lovely color for your skin tone. I especially love that grey striped tank... stripes are definitely on my brain right now! :)
Marion! Looks like we both had the same idea with the neutral palette with the colored blazer. Love the wide leg pants and the stripes! You look fab.
Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
That is a gorgeous blue color! You look great in bright colors! I really enjoyed clicking thru all you ladies posts! :)
What a beautiful outfit!! The bright turquoise is amazing on you! I'm excited to link up with you this month! Thanks for hosting!
Gaa, I really want in on this trend but have yet to find a colorful blazer that I really like enough to buy! Well in the meantime I'll just enjoy seeing other people's! Yours is a great color for summer!

You love lovely! LOVE, love those pants! Thanks, again, for the fun opportunity to put my best foot forward and meet some other incredible fashion bloggers. Hope you have a great day! Whitley
I love the way the blue blazer really pops against the white--what a beautiful look! Sorry I'm missing out this month--I need to find myself a cute colored blazer!
Fabulous outfit- I really love the pop of color against the neutral background! I cannot believe I don't own a colorful blazer... need to get around to fixing that Soon!

I'm so bummed. I don't own a colored blazer to participate. :( Sad day.
Oh well. I'll peruse all of your lovely link up ladies and dream of the day I find my perfect colored blazer! :)
i LOVE your outfit. those pants are gorgeous! and im sad but i didnt have a colorful blazer either... of course, i'd die in the heat if i wore a blazer of any sort in georgia right now.
you look amazing, as always!
Marion,
I finally joined this party...lol
I actually did wear my outfit on "Wednesday" pinky promise :-)
Anyways I love your blue blazer and it looks great on you. Nordstrom Rack actually had a blue version on the one I purchased which my sister bought for herself, but somehow it didn't do much for me :-(
Love the pop of blue with the jacket, but your hair looks so awesome. So simple and chic!
argh!!!! I can't believe I've missed the challenge! I've been so MIA lately! Isn't summer supposed ot be more relaxing? I feel like I've been running myself ragged! Everyone looks awesome, including you friend!
Just came across this post today after creating my first blazer look. I paired my mint green blazer with skinny jeans and cognac boots!
I'd love for you to check it out: http://www.framedfrosting.com/2012/09/wiww-falling-for-blazers.html
