I almost didn't want the day to end because I'd have to wear something else the next day! :) <br /><br />Jamie: I don't iron. Period. (I don't cook either, but that's a whole other story.) If my clothes get wrinkled, I usually put them in the dryer with a moist washcloth to steam the wrinkles out. Otherwise, I don't worry much about wrinkles so I don't think about whether or not the blazer will wrinkle under a belt. Plus I've only done it with dark blazers so far, where you can't see any wrinkles anyway. I'm sorry I don't have better advice for you!<br /><br />Lisa, I can NOT believe that your sister hasn't had an adult night out in four years! That's sad! I hope they can find some way to go out and reconnect!<br /><br />Becca, we'll all agree with you that you WILL find the perfect blazer! You will! :) <br /><br />Thanks everyone! I'm really glad you liked this one as much as I did. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02902994438684155567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455677926254279103.post-4899245775856477942010-09-09T21:52:19.996-04:002010-09-09T21:52:19.996-04:00Seeing this post reminded me that I have a similar...Seeing this post reminded me that I have a similar short-sleeve blazer (in black, also from Ross!) that I haven't worn in awhile.

In the past I've stuck to cardigans because they have more give and conform to my body shape. But, this season I'm absolutely determined to find the perfect structured blazer or, better yet, a navy school boy blazer!! Ahhh, I think this is what they call blazer envy!Becca [Free Honey]https://www.blogger.com/profile/05702757062423348331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455677926254279103.post-15378189939515620482010-09-08T16:53:45.348-04:002010-09-08T16:53:45.348-04:00That blazer looks great on you!

I'll definitley need to try it more, thanks to your look! <br /><br />Do you have criteria for which blazers you belt? I've been worried about belting those that I can't iron -- I would hate to have to take a blazer to the cleaners because it got wrinkled from belt. The cleaners are so, so expensive, and I never seem to drop my clothes off or pick them up in a timely fashion.Jamie - Thrifty Threadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214915564875838520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455677926254279103.post-13681768449968227362010-09-08T09:32:49.880-04:002010-09-08T09:32:49.880-04:00Great idea belting the blazer.
