Hello! This week is breezing by and I’m finally catching a bit of a break as Adrian is back from his 2 weeks of back-to-back business trips. For those times that I’m single parenting, I make every effort to try and plan ahead when I can and simplify the rest that I don’t get around to. When it comes to outfits in particular, I love having a formula that I can turn to when I just need something quick and put together. Steve Jobs was famous for his black turtlenecks, Barack Obama always turned to his reel of blue or gray suits when he was in office, and even Mark Zuckerberg is known for his collection of gray black shirts. It’s one less decision to make in the morning and for me, I can instead spend those extra minutes making sure my kids are ready for their day at summer camp!

I work at a tech startup as a software engineer and manage a small team, so my dress code is business casual (with an emphasis on the casual! 😄). I love a casual tee with jeans and just dress it up for work with heels and a blazer. No doubt you’ve seen me blog a variation of this outfit before (here, here, and here among many others!), so suffice it to say, this is a go-to “uniform” for me!
I love a good blazer and am always on the lookout for petite-friendly ones. I recently stumbled across this one from LOFT and fell in love with the unique sleeve cuff ties as well as the smokey blue color. The petite sizing makes for a perfect fit across the shoulders and a torso length that hit right at the hips, although I chose to have the sleeves just a couple inches as I preferred to have the cuff end a couple inches above my wrist instead of at my wrist (thank you Mom who was able to help with the alterations!).
Best part is that LOFT is having a 40% off sale through this weekend and this blazer is included! I’ve rounded up a few more of my best workwear outfits in the widget below. Be sure to scroll through as I’ve added my commentary too!
Let me know if you have a “work uniform” and if you’re picking up anything from the sale!
