While corduroy isn’t exactly the fanciest fabric out there, there are definitely ways to style corduroy pieces with other, slightly dressier, items to create a more elegant look, as I did here with this surprisingly versatile and wearable hot pink, double-breasted corduroy blazer.

Begin by throwing the blazer on over a silky pale pink blouse, which serves to soften up the boldness of the blazer by just the right amount. After that, put on a pair of sweet floral-embroidered jeans to turn up the femininity factor by several notches.

These pretty bluish pearl cluster earrings, along with a heart bracelet and locket necklace serve as lovely accents to the outfit without distracting from the various different elements going on. The mini pink croc-embossed circular bag adds visual interest without being gaudy or over-the-top. 

Last but not least, these gorgeous velvet, pointed-toe, bejeweled Mary Jane flats—which are my favorite part of the look—add just the right amount of luxe to finish off the ensemble.
