I love being comfortable at work. Sometimes, business casual makes that difficult. I tend to lean toward the casual side. One of my favorite pieces to make a “casual” outfit more professional is a blazer. It takes things from cute and casual to business casual.

This blazer is an item I picked up last year on the Nordstrom sale. I think a blazer is a great staple piece. They can be dressed up or down, and there are so many fun options out there. I’ll link a few black options at the bottom of this post.

Black skinny jeans are one of my favorite work-wear clothing items. I’ve talked about my favorite jeans from Kohl’s. They are so comfortable, and are perfect for days of sitting at a desk all day, or for moving around.

The most “casual” item in this outfit is the leopard tank. I’ve talked about leopard print on my blog (see my Shania Twain inspired outfit). I love it. It’s so fun! This tank is so cute and comfortable, and it’s affordable!

I also love that this outfit is great for going from work to a fun event. I wore this to Wine Down Wednesday at Springhouse Gardens. I was able to go straight from work without changing, which is key for me. WDW is over for now, but will reopen in August! If you’re in the Lexington area, I highly recommend following Springhouse Gardens on Instagram so you don’t miss these events when they come back!

I paired this outfit with a bright pink lip. It’s “kiss for a cause” from LipSense, and it’s gorgeous.

These heart hoop earrings are so cute! I snagged them at Lou Lou’s in Greenville, SC while visiting my friend Kelsey. They’re some of my favorites!
