Working 9-to-5: Blazers for Work

Jan 10, 2024

While most of my work days are spent in denim and slippers, I know that isn’t the case for every woman who reads this blog.  With ‘return to the office’ in full effect for many lawyers, staffers, and corporate girlies, I would be remised if my own “workwear” needs pushed me to abandon the ladies walking those marble halls.  Here are a few affordable blazers and jackets to spruce up your beloved basics.

This fringe jacket from Nic + Zoe is a great option for now and in the spring.  Wear it over sheath dresses or with trousers.  I like the soft green of this plus-size blazer.  This misses size blazer has the same fringe style in navy blue.

Spice up a basic black blazer with this belted option from Mango.  I like the belt for adding a bit of chic to the mix.  Even though I don’t need blazers very often, I bought this one.  I think it’ll look fantastic with a pair of wide leg jeans, silver heels, a camisole, and a big earring.

Since it’s January, I picked a few styles that easily work in other seasons.  This tweed number from Mango definitely carries into spring and summer.  (I also love the styling with the stripe picking out.)  Prefer a wintery color?  This olive tweed jacket has gold buttons and looks awesome with black trousers and a black top.

This windowpane tweed blazer is so chic.  It gives this great Princess Diana vibe in a style that can be worn with business or business casual pieces.  I love the lighter color palette so it works in winter and warm weather.  In the summer, I’d wear this over a white dress with the sleeves pushed up.

This red cropped blazer from French Connection is so chic.  I love it as part of a suit (wear it with a red blouse for maximum impact).  It would also work with winter white pants and a coordinating blouse.

The color of this fired brick belted blazer from Eloquii is very chic.  It looks great with all the fall colors.  It would also look great with a printed top and jeans.

    Thank you! I was a little bummed to think there wouldn’t be office workwear anymore, even though I totally get why. This post was welcome and awesome! Thanks!!!!

    I’m not sure if I’m sold on a cropped blazer – unless it is with a dress, perhaps?

Saw It On Social: Rooted

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
