How do you feel about jean jackets? I rocked ’em all the time in elementary school, but then they fell off my fashion radar for a few years. Now I have one I consistently work into outfits all year long to pull in a casual, all-American vibe. One of my favorite ways to wear this piece is to the office.
I took a denim jacket in a classic color + cut and paired it with a more formal pair of tweed trousers and patent leather pumps. A snow leopard scarf looped around the neck adds in a fun print (and some warmth).
The denim jacket brought a relaxed element to an otherwise pretty standard office outfit, and a different feel than had I thrown on a blazer or leather jacket. Jacket options are good options.
It’s been a run-and-gun week. Lots of boxes to check in order to work through my to-do list. Watching (and consequently tearing up over) the Olympics has dominated my television schedule, so I’m scrambling to catch up this weekend so I can stop dodging spoilers. Also hoping the temperatures here in Kansas City get warm enough (and stay there!) to melt some of this incessant snow. Spring countdown: 33 days.
Happy to announce the winners of the beauty giveaway are Carrie from Missouri (our free facial winner) and Nikki from Tennessee (proud new owner of the yummy sugar scrub). Congrats, ladies!
There’s still time to enter the $1000 PayPal cash giveaway– hurry, hurry, the content closes tonight at midnight!
Linking up today with Vodka Infused Lemonade, All Things Pretty, Stylin in St. Louis, Glitz and Gold, Perfectly Coutured, VMG206, and Style Elixir.
I love denim jackets! I am so glad they have made a comeback. They work with just about everything. Love this look on you! It looks fab with the trousers and scarf.

Agreed, Gabby! I get bored, too. Most mornings I’m in my closet asking, “What can I wear in a different way/that I haven’t before?” to keep things fresh. 🙂
These pants fit you amazingly well, I really like the styling with the denim jacket and cute scarf.Thanks for stopping by dear…whether you’re celebrating or not, from one blog friend to another…Happy Valentines Day.
Love the jean jacket I rock mine all the time.

Gorgeous!
This is a great, classic look.
I need to pull out my denim jacket this weekend! 🙂
Awesome outfit- I think this is a type of outfit so many women can re-create with items already in their closet! And I love that you chose a very reasonable brand (like Express) for those trousers- very accessible! And great look!
I love this look! The trousers and jacket are amazing together! And love that you accessorized with the leopard scarf!

If that’s your closet than I am extremely jealous. It looks so organized and spacious! I’m also a fan of jean jackets, they just feel like second skin to me when the temps rise. Love the look

very very nice!!!!!!!!:) I love it! http://www.borsadimarypoppins.com
i had a bedazzled jean jacket back in the day! love the updated version so much better!
I have a couple of denim jackets but I rarely wear them. Everytime I put on a denim jacket, I always change it into blazer 🙂 Love this casual office look though, the tweed pants actually look great with denim jacket! Well done! 🙂
I love how you’ve styled the denim jacket for work. I have a pair of dressy trousers from Express too and I find them super durable and great in fit. You look great in yours and that cut is super flattering!
Fabulous! Love the scarf!

Those pants are so working fabulous. I kind of like professional dress because it makes me feel like I’m playing grown-up pretend, even though usually it’s real now. But I still always forget I’m a grown-up 😛
