I love a contrast detail on a blazer, and this double-breasted number from Alice + Olivia is no exception. My eye is always drawn to a classic black-and-white look, but I would love to see this jacket paired with a bright jewel tone sheath to add a little pizzazz. It would also look great with denim.

The blazer is $550 at Neiman Marcus and comes in sizes 0–14. (It’s also available at Nordstrom, but it’s selling out quickly, with only one in stock for most sizes.)

Looking for something more affordable? This Eloquii blazer is on sale for $97 (though it’s only available in sizes 14–22 at this point); this blazer from Karl Lagerfield Paris is on sale for $113 at Macy’s in sizes 2–12. Here’s an interesting take from English Factory with rickrack contrast trim — it’s $150 at Nordstrom.

It’s a little hard to get excited about spring when we’re still getting walloped with snow and ice in the Northeast, but I’m trying.

This floral-print top from J.Crew Factory will be perfect for that first sunny day when it feels like spring has actually arrived. I would pair it with dark denim if your office does casual Fridays, but if not, it would also look great with your favorite trousers. 

The top is $39.50 at J.Crew Factory and comes in sizes XXS–3X.

This pink tweed blazer from Ann Taylor is really calling out to my Elle Woods-inspired heart. With a color this bold, I try to keep everything else in my outfit neutral, so I’d probably wear this with a navy or gray sheath, but if you really want to lean into it, this Ann Taylor flare dress (on sale for $75.99) would be AMAZING.

The blazer is on sale for $91.29 (originally $179) at Ann Taylor and comes in straight sizes 0–14 and 00–16 in petites.

For something at a lower price, try this blazer at Macy’s ($33.99 with code) — or for plus sizes, this button-front sweater at Torrid (on sale for $53.94) or this Talbots blazer (on sale for $169.99).

I really can’t stop raving about all the great pants I’ve been finding at Old Navy lately. I bought these on a whim to get myself past the free shipping threshold during a recent sale, and they’re fantastic. They wash well (although I avoid the dryer to prevent fading), and the high-waisted, wide-leg look is something I’m really loving this spring.

I’m currently wearing these in the office with a black turtleneck and flats, but I’m looking forward to pairing them with some cute spring tops when it’s less gray and rainy.

The pants are on sale for $18.47–$32.99 at Old Navy and come in regular sizes 0–30, tall sizes 2–18, and petite sizes 0–18. They also come in two other colors.

P.S. Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

I don’t want to think about how many workout sneakers I have (probably 10ish pairs: 2x road running shoes and 2x trail running shoes, cross trainers, turf shoes, tennis shoes, and a few old pairs of running shoes)… and these aren’t even all of my athletic shoes (like cycling shoes), and I have chosen to make some of these shoes multipurpose even if they’re not meant to be. Side note, I’m glad I’m from a part of the country that uses the term sneakers, I think it’d be way too confusing to use a term like tennis shoe or gym shoe since they’re different shoes in my book!

I also have a pair of lightweight black Sauconys with white sole, they’re kind of a hybrid between a workout shoe and a fashion shoe.

As for fashion sneakers I have flat form black leather slip on sneakers, Adidas Grand Courts (black stripe), all white Sauconys, and gray Allbirds.

Allbirds are my errand running / casual shoe: not cute enough to be worn with a “nice outfit” or if I’m going somewhere but nicer than wearing workout shoes (and saves my workout shoes from unnecessary wear and tear). They’re comfy, trendy enough to feel good wearing out and about but nothing to write home about.

The other 3 I’m likely to wear with jeans, cute but comfy black pants, or other casual pants. I also wear them to work at my current job but couldn’t wear to other jobs. My favorite style wise are the grand courts, but they sometimes give me blisters so I don’t wear them as much as I’d like.

I don’t like longer pants with sneakers (ptsd from wet bootcut jeans and sneakers from childhood!) so I wear them with straight leg, kick flare, boyfriend, or similar cut cropped or ankle length pants (or cuffed boyfriend jeans). If I’m wearing flares or bootcut pants, I wear boots, loafers or sandals. I also usually wear black jeans or pants with my GCs so I feel like the black “matches”, but this is my personal preference.

If I were you I’d try the Treetorns with pants like I mentioned above and see if you like it.

The Somerset dress from Anthropologie has been my go-to for a few summers now, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this blouse in the same cut. This cheery red print would be fantastic for the office.

I would add some navy trousers and fun jewelry for a casual Friday. (NB: If you are on the bustier side, I sometimes use this delightful micro-stitch device to add a little extra coverage with tops like these.)

The top is $98 at Anthropologie and comes in sizes XS–XL.

Ann Taylor has a lower-priced option in straight and petite sizes for $64.50.

Hunting in general for blouses in pretty prints? As of 2024, some of the reader favorite brands include L’Agence, L’Amour Vert, Equipment, and Tucker NYC. On the more affordable side, check out NYDJ,* Halogen*, Loft,* and Kut from the Kloth. For plus sizes, check out Catherine Gee (and the asterisks)!

The abstract swirl print on this blouse caught my eye during my monthly scroll of the Loft website. The bright blue color (or is it cerulean?) would work nicely with all of my winter neutrals, but I’m looking forward to wearing it with white pants and sandals in a few months.

If you like the pattern but a whole blouse is too much, note that it also comes in a really pretty scarf.

The blouse is $64.95 full price at Loft — but today you can get 30% off one item — and comes in regular sizes XXS–XXL and petite sizes XXS–XL.

I’m not even remotely surprised that Veronica Beard has created an absolutely perfect knit blazer. The brand is one of the best in the biz when it comes to women’s jackets (the Dickey blazer is a longtime favorite around here), and this perfectly-tailored number fits right in.

Given the slightly cropped length, I would probably prefer to wear this over a sheath or a skirt, but the models in these photos are also making it work with high-waisted trousers. You do what works for you!

The blazer is $448 at Neiman Marcus and comes in sizes XS–XL.

I’m always stopping in the clothing section at Target to check out the latest and greatest, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sweaters I’ve seen there.

This chunky, open-front cardigan is 100% cotton and looks so, so cozy. I would pair it with black ponte pants and my favorite work-appropriate T-shirt for a comfy Friday in the office.

The sweater is $30 and comes in sizes XS–4X. It’s also available in seven other colors.

I don’t think this pair made the cut for our roundup of the best pull-on pants for the office, but I think they’d be a worthy addition. They’re machine washable, wrinkle resistant, and come in a whole bunch of great colors.

I would pair this mushroomy-brown color with a black turtleneck for as long as it’s still chilly out and swap over to some brighter colors when spring finally arrives.

The pants are on sale for $42 (marked down from $79) at Torrid and come in sizes equivalent to 10–30.

Athleta has an option in a wider range of sizes (0–26) for $46.97–$109.

Ever since I read the New York Times article about the “unexpected red” design trend (gift link), I feel like red things are popping out at me everywhere I look. This top from Of Mercer isn’t exactly “unexpected” in color, but the pintucks at the waist aren’t something you see every day!

I would wear this with trousers and a sweater blazer for a pulled-together business casual look.

The top is $118 at Of Mercer and comes in sizes XS–XL.
