The Item I Didn’t Realize My Closet Was Missing

Today I wanted to share with you the item I didn’t realize my closet was missing… the blazer dress.

To be completely transparent: I contemplated long and hard after buying this dress as to whether or not I wanted to keep it. I really let it marinate for a while and when I put that much thought into a piece, it usually ends up being one of my favorite items in my closet.

I thought long and hard about the many ways to style it, grabbed inspiration from Pinterest, and before I knew it I was convinced I had to keep it. I’m so glad I did as I know it’s going to be a go-to piece for me for so many future events.

Dress: Topshop (sold out – similar linked below)  |  Bag: NastyGal (old – similar linked below)  | Shoes: Katy Perry c/o  |  Earrings: BaubleBar

I love it with classic pumps (above), but I also love it as a dress with a belt on top, or as a top with skinny jeans and boots. It’s actually extremely versatile as it can be worn as a dress or a long coat.

What I love about the blazer dress is that it adds a professional touch to an outfit, without looking like you stepped straight out of an office. One of the few things I miss about the corporate world is dressing up every day, as I think it’s really good for confidence. This dress is going to become my new LBD — one of those dresses I’ll reach for if I ever want to take it up a notch.

I would love to know — what’s your go-to outfit when you want to look a little more professional?
