Several posts ago, I wore my newly purchased tweed jacket: http://nomnomblingbling.blogspot.com/2012/01/classic-tweed.html Since then I've been wearing it nonstop and most recently I paired it with my chambray shirt. I mentioned that pairing the tweed jacket can be a bit tricky because it can have the tendency to make you look older, especially when you wear it with trousers. I wanted to look formal but unfussy so I downplayed the look by wearing the jacket with a chambray shirt. By itself, the chambray shirt has a very casual look to it, and when you pair it with something a bit formal like a tweed jacket, both pieces play off each other well. I also couldn't resist adding a punch of color from my purse;)

Do you have any suggestions on how to wear a tweed jacket more casually yet still look semi-formal?
