I got myself last year this blazer from Nordstrom. I am a 40 year old STAHM with a 3 and 8 year old in Chicago. I would love to get more wear out of that blazer.
Wardrobe 911’s Outfit Prescription
The corduroy blazer is perfect for rectangles and those with a more casual lifestyle. As a SAHM, you should be putting this to good use! Here we show a couple of ways to wear it this season:
Outfit #1
- Some bootcut jeans to show off the flare in your jacket. Citizens of Humanity’s Amber style is perfect for the mom on the go.
- Add a slouchy but really not slouchy One Pocket Jersey Tee in gray. I love mixing gray and olive together and then adding a complementary-hued scarf such as this lightweight one in a burnt sienna.
- For shoes, obviously booties would work great with the jeans but these Tory Burch snake print Reva flats work with everything and are extremely comfortable.
Outfit #2
- A super-flattering, jersey dress by Velvet which is the perfect length for hip moms. This can be worn with tights in the cooler months — just make sure you use a dryer sheet to rub your tights with so the dress doesn’t cling.
- Add a fun, statement piece like this horn necklace — it will certainly stand out so you don’t want to wear it if you tend to be a bit shy with attention.
- Make your outfit more urban hip by adding some Frye mid-calf Harness boots in tan. They’d look great paired with warm slouchy socks or with heathered oatmeal or mink tights.
I think that outfit is cute but if you switch the boots with the flats that would be gorgeous!!!
Yes! It would make it much more elegant and would look great for a casual dinner out. I love that the flats are so versatile — thanks for pointing that out Michelle!
