As I mentioned on Monday, it's Dress month at Cheryl Shops, so it's fitting that the most repinned look on my Outfit ideas for ageless style Pinterest board features a dress. It also features a blazer, which makes it very similar to last month's most-repinned look, but obviously you guys are vibing on this combo. I think it's perfect for summer; there's nothing easier than a flowy dress, and the blazer keeps you from freezing in the air-conditioning, plus the accessories make the whole thing feel casual yet chic. Here's how to put it all together.
There are a lot of very severe-looking double-breasted black blazers out there, but what I like about this one is that it feels relaxed and easy to wear. It's also in a lighter fabric that's perfect for summer. This one is a bit of a splurge, but it's worth investing in.

What makes this look work so well is that it's all about contrast: structured and flowy, casual and dressed up. This leopard-print Slip Dress is a key component, and that big slit is necessary for a bit of sexiness.

The woman in the photo is probably carrying a Loewe tote, and while I am up for a good designer bag, spending that much on straw just seems ridiculous to me. So here's a cheap and cheerful alternative.
H&M straw shopper $24.99
One of my favorite parts of her look is the heavy chain-link and lock necklace that she's wearing—it feels very current and luxe, especially against the low-key feel of her other accessories.
Tess + Tricia gold lock necklace $80
Finally, her shoes are cut off in this photograph, but she's wearing simple white slides that have a bit of an athletic sandal feel. I like this pair because they're a bit more feminine (and they're on major sale).
