Smart-Casual; Jeans and a Blazer (and Passion4Fashion Linkup!)


If i were to pick out a particular outfit that i would class as my uniform it would without a doubt be a blazer and jeans. The outfit style can vary somewhat, whether that be boyfriend/ skinny/ coloured jeans and then a cropped/ long/ patterned blazer, but generally this is my uniform. I am most happy when i am in an outfit like this. I guess to me it is what i would call smart-casual. I can face the day knowing i am ready for whatever it may throw at me. It is my means business suit of armour. And although it may not be a power suit it is perfect for my life. I don't think i even own a suit, haha! I don't think i'd even know what to do with one. But jeans and a blazer i know, and that suits me just fine;)

As you can see from these photos, the weather has taken a turn towards autumn again! grrr! I was soo enjoying the sunny weather, hopefully that won't be the last of our summer here in the UK. This frizzy hair doo is the result of being rained on. Multiple times. I can handle that in winter, but summer? c'mon! gimme a break!





Blazer, jeans and shoes all sale buys from F&F
Bag: Primark
Necklace (new current fave!): Yosa

  5. Oh, I was just thinking that I was sure I'd seen a similar F+F blazer recently, and then discovered that this one was it - duh me!
    Love the colourful combination to cheer up whatever the weather is like.

  8. I love the green and blue and the necklace ties it all together perfectly! So sorry the weather has gotten yucky. We finally got past days and days of rain and it's supposed to be sunny for at least a few days.

  10. Perfection, Rachel Perfection. I love how you see color. You are such an fashion inspiration to me. I am feeling better and I just may have some photo shoot moments coming out next week. The chemo 4 has been mild with its moments of course. I love the metallic flats in this ensemble = just right or perfect, actually. Have a wonderful Blog Hop and see you over on IG. ♥

  11. What I love about your style is that you really know how to use colour. Maybe the weather has changed but it is STILL SUMMER, and to me this look says summer 100%.

    And I couldn't agree with you more a blazer and jeans should be every woman's staple, you can never go wrong.
