Blazer Styles: How & When to Wear Them

Once winter is behind us, we start looking forward to putting away the parkas and overcoats and heading outside with something a little lighter. Spring is the perfect time to break out the blazers as an ideal addition to any outfit. The days of a blazer only being associated with professional attire are long gone, and this highly versatile piece can add a boost of sophistication and fashion-forwardness to any ensemble. Think of it as the cosmopolitan older sister to your favorite cardigan. Whatever your style is, the blazer will soon become your best friend and a wardrobe staple. Check out these different styles you can easily try.

1.       Comfortably Casual

Pair a simple black or dark navy blazer with a graphic t-shirt underneath. Disappointed that you gave away all your favorite concert t-shirts from back in the day? Shopping online at places like eBay and Etsy can help!

2.       Paired with Elevated Loungewear

Elevated joggers are such a big trend right now, and when you pair them with a polished blazer and other office-wear staples, they turn up the power (while keeping all the comfort). Perfect for those Zoom meetings or snagging ten minutes at the park with the kids.

3.       A Bohemian Rhapsody

Go ahead and wear a blazer with your favorite boho graphic tee and ripped jeans. Maxi dresses are also exceptionally popular, especially during the warmer months. Add some sophistication by incorporating a lightweight blazer and some statement accessories!

4.      Bright & Bold

Throw a pastel or gem-toned blazer over a bright printed dress for a pop of color that is fun and distinct. The blazer will add some structure to the dress, and it will transition easily from work to happy hour or dinner with friends.

5.        Go Neutral

If your capsule wardrobe is full of neutrals or different shades of the same color, try tying them all together with a matching blazer and complementary jewelry. You can never go wrong with neutrals, especially if you like taking pictures. If you love that uniform look for your Instagram feed, make your wardrobe match so you are only one Lightroom preset away from total perfection.

6.      Vintage Flair

If you love scouting vintage clothing stores for styles from the past, you’re sure to love mixing and matching looks from different eras! Think 1950s cropped suit jacket with bell-bottoms or a pencil skirt.

7.     All Business

Just because you’re in a work environment where professional dress is expected doesn’t mean you can’t let your style shine through. Combine a sleek, styled blazer with tailored trousers, a fitted blouse, and heels for a look that says you mean business!

Whether you’re heading to the office, the grocery store, or a night out with family or friends, any outfit can look fantastic when you add a blazer on top. Wear it as a jacket or as a layer over your shirt. From single-breasted to double-breasted, long or cropped, and available in every color imaginable, let your creativity run wild and experiment with different ways to wear this often underrated piece of clothing.

You do not find a happy life. You make it. 

That’s the biggest lesson that grief has taught me. If I just wait around to be happy again, I’ll die sad. 

You don’t get through grief and come out the other side. That’s not how it works. You learn how to grow around it like a tree grows around a rock that’s in the way. You don’t wait for the rock to move. Cause it’s not gonna. 

Choose happy. And then make it happen.

Happy Valentine’s Day, @daeinexplains 🥰

The last 20 years with you have been my favorite years on this earth. ❤️ 

If I did anything right in my life, it was when I decided to give my heart to you.  You are my best friend, my soul mate, my better half, my rock, my everything. 

I love you.

Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍ Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍♀️

This little guy always asks to help when he sees me cleaning the house, washing the floors, doing laundry, or emptying the dishwasher. That’s what I love about Montessori parenting - it allows kids to do  big jobs and in turn makes them eager to help! 

He was over the moon when we gave him the @lovevery floor mop that actually works! He uses it daily now. The mopping pad is machine washable and you can refill the fluid container on it. I usually just do water and a drop of essential oils because he loves it when everything smells clean! 😜 

Definitely recommend! If you want to grab this mop for your little helper, it’s in the Storyteller Play Kit from Lovevery for 3 year olds. 

LlNK is in my bio to get FREE shipping! 💃🏼

Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hol Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hole. 

Sometimes we outgrown relationships. Sometimes we realize someone else isn’t a good influence on our lives. Sometimes we realize we aren’t a good influence for someone else. Sometimes we need to let things go that aren’t good for us in order to grow. And that’s ok. 

Stop trying to sit at a table you are no longer welcome at. Just be yourself, focus on God, love your family and friends, and the right people will gravitate to you. ✌🏻

It wasn’t hard to pick a new 4 slice toaster. As soon as I saw this one from @haden_usa I added it to my cart. I bought it from @lordandtaylor because it had the fastest shipping and I didn’t want to wait! 

No fancy electronics, screens, or extra features we don’t need. Just simple, straight forward functions and perfect results everytime. Plus it matches all my @cafeappliances too! 😂👍🏻

The “Steffi” in green are the perfect boots for ushering in spring weather with their delicious vintage leather and worn-in look right out of the box. I love the chunky lug soles and inside zippers to get them on and off easily. 

These are the boots you’ll want to wear again and again. And again.

Today was my due date for Dylan. Considering he w Today was my due date for Dylan.

Considering he was my 6th child, it's possible he would have been here by now. It’s been extra hard for me this week. 

Despite my best efforts to be strong and stay positive, I am completely brokenhearted. I’m just being honest. I could pretend I’m fine, but that doesn't do me or anyone else any good to be dishonest about the pain of miscarriage or the grief that comes with losing a child. 

My heart is completely shattered from having an empty womb and an empty nursery. An empty bassinet in the corner and unused tiny newborn outfits, all washed, folded, and ready… for nothing. 

It makes me physically sick to my stomach when I think about it all and I can't even fathom how I got here. How did I get here? 

This isn't how it's supposed to be! I should be holding a newborn right now! It’s so unfair. 

In an instant, my baby was gone and there was nothing I could do to change that. 

It doesn't matter how much time passes or what else happens in life, I will always miss him. My heart with always long for my baby. 

Those who haven't experienced loss tell you that "Don’t worry! Things will get better, just focus on the positive!" but people who actually know this grief and what it actually feels like to lose a baby, won’t tell you that. They know this hard road. They understand that unfortunately you don't just “get over it.” 

The grief doesn't just go away, even if you try to ignore it, it's still there. Like the sun. You don’t have to look at it to know it’s there. You can turn your back on it but it will still warm your skin. 

The grief from losing a child is unbearable. 
It is unpredictable.
It is unforgiving.
It is relentless.
It is all-consuming.
And it completely shatters you when you don’t expect it. 

You don’t get over it. You don’t forget. You simply learn to live with it. And I’m learning to live with it every day. 

It’s been 137 days I’ve had to live without my baby. 

Lord Jesus, please… hold me extra tight tonight.
