When a casual coffee with a fellow blogger turns into a photo shoot, yay!  Here’s the takeaway from this outfit – This elongated blazer from Zara.  It’s one of my new staples.  It doubles as a blazer and a jacket, and it’s long enough to wear over leggings.  The length also adds a boyish sophistication, not your regular boring blazer.  Living in Boston proper I see many a “classic”(aka outdated) work outfits, especially in the Financial District.  I am lucky enough to work in a very casual office, but I try to maintain a professional look while still expressing my personal style.  This outfit is the perfect representation.  Classic doesn’t always mean unflattering and boxy ladies!!  Here’s a tip – add layers with different angles or movement to add texture to an outfit, like I did here with the white draped vest under the jacket.
