Professional and Polished

From colored jeans to skulls, this look incorporates some of my favorite things to wear! If you have been following my blog for awhile, you know how much I love bold colors, patterns, and anything with skulls on it. I was able to combine all of my favorite things for one fun outfit that can also double as a work look!

I purchased this black and white striped blazer from Material Girl a few years ago. It is very lightweight and fun to style. It also has pockets and I love styling it against different colors of jeans. For this look, I decided to style it with a pair of purple jeans. I really enjoy how the black and white stripes look against this shade of purple.

Since there is a lot going on between my pants and blazer, I kept my shirt and shoes black. This prevented the outfit from getting too crazy, and it also tied the whole look together.  I accessorized with black sunglasses and one of my favorite skull Betsey Johnson necklaces.

I wore this outfit to a Board of Directors meeting for the Philadelphia Classical Guitar Society. I like to dress up for these meetings since it is a professional place. If I had styled this outfit without a blazer and wore a pair of Converse shoes instead, this look would be way more casual and not as professional looking. It is amazing what a fun blazer and a simple pair of flats can do to dress up an outfit.


This look can definitely be worn to a professional setting like I did, or just worn for a causal day out. When you have to put together a professional looking outfit, try wearing a fun blazer. Professional does not necessarily equal boring or strict clothing, it is more about still expressing yourself while looking a little more polished.
