Blaze(r) of Glory

the penguin sweater strikes again.jpg One of this fall's biggest trends is also one of the easiest to wear:

The school blazer.

Balenciaga's has gotten the most attention but if something like tuition is preventing you from dropping 2 grand on a jacket, you might like these other options.

J.Crew is selling its double-faced wool Lexington jacket for $250...

Topshop's striped version is going for £55.00...

And Tommy Hilfiger's take on the nautical blazer -- worn by cover girl Taylor Warren in this month's NYLON -- is on sale for $139.99!

At that price, you'll still have money left over for textbooks.

the jcrew jacket is also available in grey. for some reason your link only shows two colors but it is available in a third - grey with off white piping - my personal favorite...

Go to a thrift store! I've worn the same little boys blazer for years, and it was only $2.00.

I have an old RL one and I just bought the J Crew one- it's way nicer and warmer and the buttons are awesome. I LOVE it! If you're buying it online, beware it runs reallllly small. I had to size up 2 sizes!!

I want the J. Crew one soooooo bad but unfortunately it's out of my price range.
