Nobody Believes This Target Blazer Is Only $35 (But Seriously, It's True!)

Fall has arrived, which means it's officially time to trade in those flouncy sundresses and tan-grazing, off-the-shoulder tops for some layers. But, while most people opt for a cute leather jacket or plush shacket, I'm partial to blazers. I know, I know, blazers don't have the best reputation, sartorially speaking. Sure, they might look good on HRC, but wearing them outside of the boardroom can give you some serious Working Girl vibes - and not necessarily in a hip or modern way.

However, when you find the right blazer, it can seriously elevate your outfit, striking that perfect balance between casual and undeniably chic. Fortunately, I found a little bit of fashion perfection in this A New Day Women's Plaid Blazer ($35).

The first thing that struck me about this layer was its enduring versatility. Don't be fooled by the typical blazer's reputation: thanks to its baggier silhouette, this one has a life outside of the cubicle. (Translation? I can wear it with everything, from my fave skinny jeans and turtleneck tee, to a silky midi, to a some baggy denim and a '90s-inspired crop top.) Plus, the sweet plaid print is subtle enough to go with solids and busier patterns alike. (Oh, and did I mention this blazer has pockets? Like, big pockets that you can actually put stuff in?!I know, wow.)

But, what really sold me on A New Day's blazer was the quality. This layer might be made with a mix of polyester, rayon, and spandex, but I swear it feels like a fancy, shmancy wool. (Read: it's super-soft and will keep me warm this fall without breaking into a sweat.) Finished with a simple cuff, a set of patch pockets, and the single button closure, this blazer makes me feel like a million bucks - even though I bought it for only $35. In fact, I recently wore this blazer out with friends, and everyone was mind-blown that I bought it at Target for under $50. (My inner circle's shock and delight made this already-affordable pick an even better deal.)

The one thing you should know about this blazer before you add it to your cart - which, trust me, you definitely should - is its fit. Despite having a boxier silhouette, this blazer runs pretty true-to-size. So, if you really want to double down on those oversized vibes, I'd recommend sizing up. (For example, I'm a solid medium, but have the perfect boxy fit with the large.) But, let's be honest: when a blazer is this effortlessly chic (and cheap!), you really can't go wrong.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
