  1. ^^ yes, the straps are removable; same idea as suspenders, I guess, except instead of attaching them to pants you attach them to the inside of the jacket.

  2. I was also immediately drawn to the straps on the first one. Gorgeous and unusual. I really don't think you can possibly have too many black blazers. They go with everything and are so simple-chic.
    I can't decide which I like best!

  3. What Daphne said! You can never have too many blazers. Plus, yours are so unique!

  4. no worries; definitely have to actively NOT purchase more black blazers. i'm in the market for another blazer as the one i have falls quite low. great collection though. and you can wear them all for work, non?

  5. They're far too hard to resist. Especially when on sale.

  7. well seeing all these black blazers in a row makes it obvious that they are all different! i don't actually own a black blazer, and now you make me think i ought to. i really love the strap detail in the 1st one. ~joelle
