Thursday Outfit: Now with a Blazer

This outfit requires no introduction.

This outfit from Pinterest mixes professional pieces with a bit of whimsy from the shoes and the bow blouse. I think the color palette is great for spring or fall, and with a pair of navy/white trousers or a navy pencil skirt. So let’s remake it.

Jacket // This ponte jacket from Ann Taylor (also in petite) is professional, comfortable and perfect for the office. The buttons are a great accent, but the jacket feels just slightly more modern than a traditional lady jacket. It’s also on sale right now. Want something more casual? Ann Taylor also makes a wonderfully structured navy cardigan with gold buttons.

Shirt // I searched the whole internet, far and wide and could not find a dramatic, horizontal stripe bow blouse. I am bereft. But this Vanessa Bruno shirt is a great option.

Love a bow blouse? This pink bow blouse from ASOS is fabulous. I also love this blue and red stripe from Free People. And if you are looking for a solid, this black or yellow choice from Land’s End.

Jeans // I’m going to suggest something, and I need you to hear me out. Spanx has the best denim right now. I know, I know. There’s a lot of great denim being made, but this is the good stuff. Their cropped wide leg jeans are awesome. I want them in every color.

Shoes // Just buy these discounted block heels from Coach. You will wear them, I promise. I absolutely adore the statement and I think they really add pizzazz to otherwise boring outfits without being too much.

Accessories // The Maison de Sabre leather goods are phenomenal. This briefcase has been on my Nordstrom wish list forever. All of their pieces are so nice.

I know the science isn’t entirely conclusively, but my eyes feel less tired when I wear my blue light glasses. I recently bought these Madison Ave. glasses from Amazon and they are great.

For the jewelry, I chose these teardrop huggies and these cool stacking rings. I don’t usually wear much white metal jewelry, but these pieces are very cool.

Styling // I like the way the hair is done in a low, casual bun. Neutral makeup is nice here. And I would resist the temptation to do a red lip, which make it a little more costume-y than you want.
