If you’re looking for an alternative to blazers at work I’ve got you covered!
Sometimes blazers are…
boring
*ducks for cover*
Don’t get me wrong, this lady loves a good blazer, Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2, Exhibit 3, but as much as my love affair with blazers keeps my closet filled to the brim, lady jackets are my side piece that sneaks in from time to time.
That sounded horrible. But you get my drift.
Lady jackets are so chic. I feel like I should be walking down Rue de la whatever in Paris singing about the rain in Spain. I love how they elevate a regular work dress or skirt to something extra. Extra in a good way that is. All the details that go into them, bows, rick rack, lace, tweed, fringe, tulle, pearls – oh be still my heart!
These jackets are a great way to showcase your feminine side while still being a hard working professional woman. See? Definitely a great alternative to blazers at work. You can also pick one a little more edgy or a sweater that looks like a tweed lady jacket.
You can find these jackets at every price point and the good thing is that they LAST. These jackets never go out of style – women have been wearing them since before they wore blazers at work so you know they’re going to get you through years of work. J Crew always has good choices of lady jackets but if you’re looking for more affordable options (who isn’t) check out H&M – they usually have a few solid options at a lower price point.
You can also toss them on with jeans and heels on the weekend and you’ve got yourself a solid girls night out/date night outfit.
Next time you’re about to pull a blazer out of your closet for the fourth time that week, take a beat and see if your lady jacket is going to go with that dress because chances are it’s going to look amazing.
