When it comes to looking professional, you can’t beat a blazer! Yet, for the past five months – working from home – I have mostly steered away from them in favor of more ‘creative casual’ toppers – scarves, dusters, cashmere sweaters – or nothing at all! Well, enough is enough…

The blazer is back! Can we call this COVID progress??? Hahaha…this jacket is lightweight and unlined, perfect to throw on with cropped white flares…the brand is Elie Tahari, found a few years back at Revolve…

With cropped flares I generally prefer a heel so my legs don’t look too short…these block heels fit the bill and also are super comfortable…Cropped flares not your style? Instead, wear a white skirt, full length white pants, or even white jeans…

The shirt underneath is a super lightweight blue striped…what makes it fun is the fringe on the collar and cuffs…

Yay, it’s me! I’m still a businesswoman, even though I spend all day sitting in the kitchen…whether or not I have a Zoom call, wearing a blazer puts me in the business frame of mind, sets the tone for a day ‘at the office’…then, when the day is done, it’s time to switch gears…

Boho casual for a quick run to the market – another version of me! All kidding aside, changing your outfit helps to separate work from leisure time, especially if you are working remotely…and – as I often say – “Life is too short for one outfit per day!”

Stay well. Dress well. Enjoy the NOW.
