Last week we had picture day at work – kind of felt like middle school but with no uniform. Here I am in the working world, and I get to choose my own outfit. I wanted to put together something that showed my personality but was professional and spoke to all different styles. I want my clients to trust me as the expert.

This blazer was my first step in building the outfit. Why? Because what screams professional more than a blazer? Next, I chose the blouse because well, it was going to be a focal point in the photo too. It’s feminine and adds dimension and texture, so I thought it would pop against the black blazer. Lastly, I chose these coated jeans because they were a nice contrast to the feminine details in the blouse and the structured lines of the blazer, and of course I had to wear a headband. They have been staples in my wardrobe over the last 8 months!

Everyone needs a great black blazer in their closet! Whether you work in a business professional environment or you are a stay at home mom, it’s a staple piece you can wear to a meeting or out to dinner. I snagged this Veronica Beard blazer at my favorite consignment store, Clothes Circuit, a few months ago. I’ve dreamed about VB blazers – the structure, sophistication and versatility – and now those dreams have become a reality. This is a piece I will have in my closet for a long time!

I linked a more cost effective version of my blazer and another VB option. You can also click links “1-6” to see other consignment options.

A third piece can elevate your outfit for a more put together and chic look. Not only will you look fashion, but it adds interest to your outfit.

You all know how much I love my denim vest. Well, I’ve linked the one I bought from Old Navy plus a few others that would be the perfect layering piece to any dress or casual tee and denim combo.

You can always count on J.Crew for a good blazer. Not only are they well-structured, but they come in beautiful textures and colors.

The bell sleeve on this denim jacket feminizes the rugged look, and the light wash allows you to pair it with a summer dress or a chunky turtleneck in the fall. The bomber trend continues – spice up your athleisure look as well as your night out look.

These cardigans can take you from summer to fall. It may be cold in your office or where you live, so they will be a nice layering piece for all climates.

Happy Shopping!
