Winter-to-spring chic in an olive green blazer.
This post contains affiliate links.
I cannot resist a blazer. It’s a closet staple, a timeless piece, and an item that immediately elevates any outfit. I picked up this olive green blazer at Zara because the gold buttons and the structured shoulder immediately caught my attention. Plus, olive green? A neutral I adore and wear all year long. You can score a super similar version at a deep discount here.
I used the blazer as a jacket alternative over a bold leopard turtleneck. (My exact one is from a few seasons ago, but get the same vibe here and here.) This is one of my favorite ways to transition winter to spring; the blazer does provide some warmth but it’s not technically outerwear, so the look ends up feeling more appropriate for a warm day in March.
Super tattered denim (almost exact here) balances all the polish of the turtleneck and blazer. The jeans keep things cool, while a pair of chic leather sneakers walk the line between casual and sophisticated. (PS they’re on sale!)
Shop the look:
The end-result outfit goes just about anywhere, bringing the right amount of casual-chic coolness and bridging that gap between winter and spring. Neutrals like olive green and leopard print (no, really, leopard is a neutral!) are a fun way to experiment with earth tones and a mega-destroyed pair of denim keeps the whole look anchored in Not The Office.

Very cool outfit! Just have a short sleeve blazer in my closet… the rest got donated a couple years after I stopped working and stopped fitting in them, lol!

Isn’t it such a good blazer? I love it! Thank you!
Oh, you are gorgeous in this color combination! I love olive green though it sometimes doesn’t love me back! I’ve never thought to pair it with leopard though! Hmmm…I’m going to have to give that a try!

Zara really does kill it in the blazer department!
I must make a note to listen to your latest podcast episode, because I’m not a mother either!

I hope you listen, Suzy! And thank you!
I love blazers and jeans together and this olive one is such a classic – it looks great with the leopard and will go with so much! 🙂
Hope that your week is going well! The flood waters have gone down here so we are no longer flooded in which is awesome 🙂

Thanks, Kathrine!
That olive green is so beautiful on you! I need to get blazers in more fun colors! I listened to one of your podcasts while picking up the house yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I skipped ahead to the Divorce one, but I need to go back and start at the beginning. I’m in my 40’s, but I still enjoyed it! 🙂

I’m here for all of the blazers too, and I love how you styled this Ashley!! In fact, on IG today, my girl group all styled blazers, and it was fun to see the variety.

Cool outfit, I liked a lot
I learn from you and appreciate the instruction. Yes, I see now how a blazer elevates every outfit, subliminally raising it in our perception. The blindness in much of my thinking about fashion is due to being taught how men dress — and, with women, the same rules do NOT apply. Jackets on women, like here, mean something very different. Thanks, teacher!
I absolutely love this look <3 You look stunning!
Lots of love,
