Now here is a lovely twist on Blazers for the office!  Have you ever wanted to explore blazer dresses for the office but felt they weren’t the most professional ensemble? I hope after reading this blog post, you’ll be inspired to try this look and add it to your own work wardrobe. Blazer dresses offer a unique look, yet also still provide a professional edge at the same time. I challenge you to tap into this look for the office. You’ll be surprised by how professional and polished you’ll feel while wearing it; I know I did!

This look is perfect for a hot summer work day. I don’t know about everyone else but comfort, style and professionalism are three very important factors when I’m dressing for work. I feel especially as an African-American woman who works in corporate fashion, I need to always dress the part, and this look just does it for me.

 The dress itself is extremely comfortable and the plaid provides a professional edge. I felt like such boss with my black Marc Jacobs bag and block heels I recently purchased from Just Fab. If heels aren’t your area of comfort, I would recommend pairing a chic pair of flats that you’re comfortable in. Wedges would dress it down depending on what the wedge looks like, so wedges probably would be out the picture if you’re aiming for a more professional and polished look. The key to making this look work for the office, is to focus on wearing a blazer dress with a sleek print such as plaid, a neutral color blazer and a low block strappy heel. The Plaid and double breasted feature screams all about business, while the strappy low block heel is an important number for style, versatility and comfortability. I’ve seen several black and navy blazer dresses that were very professional and chic looking. Any blazer dress in either of those colors would work well in the office.

Time to get into why this look is ideal for desk to dinner! Let’s face it, summer is usually when we spend most of our time going out after work whether that be dinner, a date, or happy hour! This look will leave you prepared for all of the above plus some more. I’m honestly in love with how chic and cute it is! If chic, comfort, and professionalism is your style for the work place, then you definitely will love incorporating this look into your wardrobe. Check out the below links on where you too can get this look. I think the dress is still available as well as the shoes JJustfab.com has a deal where you can get two shoes for $39.95! I would definitely head on over to the website if I were you.
