Do you have certain blazers that you can’t wear unless it’s warm enough for that blazer to double as a coat? Otherwise trying to wear that blazer and a coat makes you feel like your arms lost their blood circulation? I definitely have taken said blazers with me to the office so I could wear… Read more…

A blazer, is a blazer, is a blazer. So when you find a blazer that is just hands-down fabulous, then you have gone from “basic blazer” to “amazing jacket”. This ruffle front jacket by Sonia Speciale is one of those finds. You can wear this jacket on its own with black pants, jeans, a pencil… Read more…

I first got excited about this blazer because it’s long and it’s white. I have two favorite boyfriend blazers – one in heather gray and one in dark navy. I’ve been scouring boutiques and the inter-webs for one in white (can you tell I love long boyfriend blazers?). And Eureka! Here is one from Veronica… Read more…

The blazer, the blazer, the blazer…and maybe sometimes the cardigan. That extra layer can be such a pain! Sometimes, to get the most out of that layer, it can be best to use it as a focal point. That’s where the light jacket comes into play. I love wearing jackets as blazers as they come… Read more…

Red is one of the big hues to don this season, and I eagerly pulled out all my richly colored garments in excitement the other day. I have red dresses, red tops and several pairs of red shoes (a necessity for every woman I feel). Flipping through this month’s Harper’s Bazaar, I came across the… Read more…

This is one of the first items I saw that caused me to click on a Facebook ad. It’s true. And I have to say, it was worth the click. Today’s coveted working look is the Donna Karan jacket with a belt. This jacket takes the concept of “blazer” to a whole new level. And… Read more…

I apparently am in a yellow mood this week, as I posted a yellow lace skirt and top on Monday, and now I’m posting a yellow blazer. Yellow is such a happy color that it just must be incorporated into your work wear! Plus the Theory blazer is a working woman’s business staple! Pair it… Read more…

The jacket is a very common layer that we working women don during and after the work-day. But most of the time they’re basic colors and fabrics that we throw on because they simply “go with everything”. I’m hoping to deter that habit with this Vivienne Westwood jacket that does indeed go with everything, but… Read more…

I have a common issue with blazers – they are all too short! I am tall and the average blazer makes my torso look like I’m trying to cut it in half. Therefore I usually am trying to find the perfect long blazer. I own several boyfriend blazers, but sometimes they can be too casual… Read more…

I know so many women who avoid blazers and keep them out of their working wardrobe entirely. The reasoning is usually that their body type isn’t flattered by the shape, the button-closures are uncomfortable, the sleeves are too short and the whole look just feels awkward. But what if you didn’t have to worry about… Read more…
