Hi pretties!
I hope you are enjoying your week so far! Apologies for the late post..it’s been a crazy few days 🙂 Anyway, today I am showing you how to style a blazer with jeans while still looking feminine and fun!
How to Style a Blazer with Jeans
Outfit Details
Blazer c/o (pink sold out but red and black are available – identical here and here) | Top (old – similar here and here) | Jeans | Shoes (old – similar here) | Kate Spade Handbag (old – similar here, love this ) | Jewelry | Watch | Ring (old – similar here)
Although I love a good blazer, I don’t wear them entirely too much. This is because they normally come off a bit stuffy to me and *ahem* boring…but let me explain. While I do adore a great structural garment, blazers typically remind me of my days working retail at Express. I would oversee an expansive collection of workwear in hues of black and grey daily. I also worked as a merchant teller at a bank around the same time and since I got a pretty hefty discount from my Express job, most of clothes came from there.
Working in a more corporate environment made me feel trapped and stunted my freedom to be creative with my clothing. The dress code was strict and I found myself reaching for the same items day in and day out just meet those standards while my other, more “interesting” clothing stayed behind in my closet unworn. As a fun, creative and free-spirited person, sacrificing my colorful, whimsical style was something I absolutely loathed and as a result, I felt unstimulated. It didn’t help that I absolutely did not like my corporate job….boring job + boring clothes = boring life. In a sense, I condemned the workwear for my unhappiness at my job and ever since then, I have stayed far, far away.
The good news is is that it’s not 2007 anymore. Long gone are the days of boring workwear! Now, we have more freedom and creativity to express ourselves in a way that we weren’t previously able to which is that we can be both stylish and professional. Blazers of many colors AND prints currently flood the racks and the possibilities seem endless. As the trends changed, I also changed and realized that there are more options for work wear and that if you style it the right way, you can create a “fun” look that is put-together yet work appropriate….and guess what.
I FINALLY found a blazer that I absolutely adore and it hits all the marks. It’s in the prettiest pink hue with ruffles galore and is a chic, structured piece that mixes well with everything. It can be dressed up with a pencil skirt or wide leg pants or dressed down with a pair of jeans or flowy sundress. I wanted to style it in a way that was true to my signature style: feminine and colorful yet chic and wearable. Underneath, I layered a breezy gauze embroidered top with a high necklace and ruffled bottom to mimic the blazer. I added a structured handbag, pastel colored heels and simple jewelry including a jeweled choker, rose gold ring and blush colored watch. I can’t wait to style this for spring!
Are there any pieces of clothing that you previously weren’t a fan of that you can’t get enough of now?

I used to hate wearing midi skirts as I feel restricted to move around and thought it would be uncomfortable. I then suddenly needed to wear a lot of them when I started working at a consultants office at London. I have now relied on midi skirts for any formal and semi-formal events. It helps accentuates the lower part of my body making it look like I put a lot of effort choosing my outfit. 😉
Oh I just LOVE midi skirts! But I was apprehensive too because I’m under 5 ft so they are all maxi’s lol!
haha, you are not alone. I consider myself 5’1″, need to add that 1″ cos every inch counts, especially to all petite women out there. lol
Such a cute look! Love it!
Thanks so much doll!
I’m loving how that cute blazer totally matches your shoes!
Right? It’s perfect!
I put off tulle skirts for the longest time. I thought that if I’d buy one the trend would end and I would end up with something I didn’t like too much. Of course, I did buy one, and loved it. I’m noticing a slight shift in my style and kind of fear for them, but every time I put them on I remember why I love them so much.

Most of my blazers are neutrals so it was great to see how to style a blazer in full color!
Right? It’s to find a colorful one, but I do love this one!
A blazer with jeans is such a great and classic combo. I’d wear this on casual Friday’s or to a coffee meeting!

Thanks so much Chloe!
I love your blazer! Definitely a piece of clothing that I’ve started to bring back in my style is pretty pastel pinks and more feminine pieces. I was always had a more edgy/trendy style with dark colors but now I’m still maintaining my edgy style with pastels. I love the sleeves and it fits you amazingly! Girl I’d wear it everyday! 🙂
I really love the mix of edgy with feminine. It’s such a nice contrast! Aw Thanks Karen!
Oh Lizzie this blazer is so chic, I’m in love with the sleeves. The pink looks adorable on you! Glad it’s still available in black, like you said it can be worn so many ways! Thanks for the tips x
Thanks so much doll! The black is so cute too!
Can I just say, the heels and the blazer are definitely adorable! Such a lovely colour. Overall, everything looks awesome!
