If you haven’t already noticed, my “work uniform” is pretty much always a black or white top and jeans.

I love to mix high and low price points.  One area to splurge on is bags that are classic.  An area I really love to find a good deal on is tees and blazers.  Since I am running around all day and traveling often, I like to find quality work pieces that are moderately priced since it could get ruined easily.

A new favorite item I found for work is this inexpensive ModCloth blazer. (under $60.)  Since I always feel more polished with a jacket on, I like to wear them year round.  This one is perfectly lightweight for Summer.  It is also insanely soft and almost feels like a sweatshirt.  (So comfy but still structured.)

The nautical anchor buttons are my favorite part and I think they make it look more Summer appropriate. I also love how the puffs at the shoulder make it a bit more modern than a classic blazer.

I paired this jacket with a tucked in simple black V neck tee, a black and gold watch, white skinny jeans, a classic bag and a pair of lace up heels for the office.  Oh and if you haven’t had a chance to check out ModCloth before, they also sell cute office accessories like this “every day I’m hustlin” mug.

So the point is, shop for a good deal on tee shirts, blazers and trendy accessories and spend a little more on items you will use everyday like a classic work bag and good white jeans.
