30 Ways To Wear: A Cream Jersey Blazer #30wears

For this month's 30 ways to wear post, sharing a piece that it seems to have taken a while for me to reach 30 wears on, this cream jersey blazer from Zara. Last month it was a purple cardigan, so I hope you don't mind me picking another piece of outerwear this month! The winter weather in Brisbane has me thinking of layers!

30 Ways To Wear: Cream Jersey Blazer


30 ways to wear zara cream jersey blazer #30wears | away from the blue blog


I bought this jacket second hand back in 2015, so I've had it 3 years. An average of 10 wears a year isn't bad, especially considering for a year and a half in there I was on maternity leave and wasn't reaching for my blazers. An ebay find, it was $30.50 if you include the overpriced shipping the seller charged me. At 30 wears, it's just over a dollar a wear.

I bought this because I had the same blazer in black and was thrilled to find another colour of it. Whether you call it a jersey blazer or a knit blazer, it's so soft and comfortable to wear. As I tried it with more outfits in my wardrobe, I've realised that this cream / beige / oatmeal colour isn't ideal for me. I definitely haven't loved every outfit I've made with it. My sister likes it though, so I'm passing it onto her.



Jersey Blazer and Lace Pencil Skirt

This is definitely my most worn piece with this blazer. This blue lace pencil skirt is such a fun piece to wear to the office, and always gets a lot of compliments. The base material is a nude colour that's similar to the cream jersey of the blazer, so it's an easy pairing. It lets me add more colours to the rest of my outfit too, with bright accessories.


Beige Blazer and Burgundy Pants

When I put these posts together I look back at all the ways I've worn things and try group them into sensible categories. It was obvious these burgundy pants would be a category of their own, I do love wearing this blazer with them! I like the neutral cream with the burgundy, a nice colour pairing.


Cream Blazer and Monochrome Outfits


4 outfit ideas: monochrome prints with neutral oatmeal knit blazer | awayfromtheblue


While the blue and burgundy above look great with this blazer, they aren't the only colour combinations I like to try. Being a beautiful neutral that goes with pretty much everything, I like to add this blazer as a layer to a monochrome or monochromatic outfit. From an orange dress, navy top and skirt or a peach two piece set, this blazer works wonderfully.


Beige Blazer and Printed Pieces

Sometimes you just want to wear a fun printed piece without thinking too hard. That's when neutral pieces like this jersey blazer are perfect, as you know the cream shade won't clash with any printed pieces. While it's nice in the office with printed skirts, it works well with the fun statement leopard print jeans for SAHM style too.


Neutral Jersey Blazer and Print Mixing Outfits

As I mentioned with the printed pieces above, this neutral blazer is a great companion to prints. Being a basic neutral colour and style, it allows you to be a little more adventurous with your outfit and try some print mixing too! In these three outfits, I kept it simple and cosy by using a printed scarf as a topper for the outfit and as another print.


Jersey Blazer In The Office - With Printed Dresses


5 ways to wear printed dresses with neutral cream jersey blazer for the office | away from blue


As you've seen in the previous outfits, this blazer gets pulled on over a lot of prints! For the office, it's a quick and simple addition to a printed dress. Being a jersey material, it's comfortable enough to wear all day at your desk when the aircon is running a little cold, and it helps tone down any print to make it look more professional.


Jersey Blazer In The Office - With Pencil Skirts


3 ways to wear a jersey blazer with pencil skirts for business casual office | away from blue


Pencil skirts are a staple workwear option for me, so of course this blazer has been worn with a few of them. Just like the outfits above, I've picked this blazer to wear on top of these outfits as they feature printed pieces, and it's such a good neutral. The blazer also works to make a casual sleeveless summer tank more office appropriate.


Blazer And Jeans

A blazer isn't just for the office though! The final way to wear this soft jersey blazer is with jeans. It helps to make you feel a little more pulled together than say a cardigan, but is still just as comfortable (and a little warmer as it's lined). The neutral colour works with any colour of jeans, and while I've mostly worn it with skinny jeans it looks great with a pair of flares too!

Two Ways To Wear Blush Pink Blazer (With Balenciaga Black Part Time Bag)

Sharing two different ways I've worn this blush blazer to the office recently. I decided to give it another wear as it's something I haven't worn in a while. With the casual fabric and oversized shape it's not the most formal blazer, but it works perfectly in my business casual office!

What I wore:

Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH with blush and burgundy outfit | awayfromtheblue

TankAtmos & Here Oregon stripe tank
PantsJeanswest 'Fiona' skinny leg pant in shiraz
ShoesWalnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH

Why I wore it:

I actually had a completely different outfit in mind to wear on this day, and was going to wear a dress. However after constant rain overnight with our wild Brisbane weather it was actually a lot cooler and I decided that pants would be a better choice than a dress on a cold and wet day. Rather strange for January and the middle of summer! I couldn't even try take photos on the patio as the rain was really coming down! So I quickly grabbed pics of my outfit inside.

I really liked the blush blazer with the burgundy pants. Remember a while ago when everyone in blog-land was all about the blush and burgundy combination? I really liked it even if I haven't worn it much, these burgundy pants were the perfect colourful choice with the pastel blazer. I couldn't decide on the perfect necklace with the striped tank and colourful outfit so I went with these pretty silver leaf earrings - a Christmas gift from my mum. I felt the earrings and the blush and burgundy made the outfit stand out enough.


Last worn: blush blazer, black and white striped tank, burgundy pants, black ballet flats, Balenciaga Part Time bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they were a Christmas present.

BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH

Why I wore it:

Again with the same blush blazer, black Balenciaga bag and black flats! This time around I had planned this outfit in advance - I wanted to stick with blush and black for the #whatshallweweartowork challenge Anna set for February. I didn't like this outfit as much as the one above though.

I thought the grey skater dress and blush blazer would look really nice together, and while I like the pink and grey colour combo I think the pieces maybe don't look the best.  I did pause in front of the mirror and consider changing my outfit, but I was - as always - short on time so wore it anyway!

It resulted in a really casual outfit for the office. Usually when I wear this dress to work I try formal it up a bit with a more structured blazer. I added the big statement necklace for a fun and fancy touch - and I did get some compliments on the outfit and necklace, but it still wasn't my fave and felt quite dressed down. I probably won't wear the blazer and dress together again.

Was nice to take advantage of a rare meeting free day at work though and be comfortable while I sat at my desk most of the day working away. It was another wet day with the streak of rainy days we had been having, but it was also humid and so hot in the morning so the dress was just perfect for the temps.

How You Can Wear It:

A blush blazer is a fun colour and a nice departure from a neutral black or grey. You can keep it simple and use the jacket as a colourful finishing touch on a neutral outfit like I have in the second outfit, or go a little bolder and pair the blush blazer with other colours like burgundy.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Printed Tanks, Pencil Skirts and Blazers With Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere

Simple corporate style for today's Weekday Wear Linkup. Making my simple printed tank and pencil skirt outfits a little more formal by adding a blazer. A great way to feel a little more dressed up in an office, just add a blazer!

What I wore:

TankJeanswest Elissa leaf print tank

Why I wore it:

Repeating a lot of faves in this outfit! The black jersey blazer and pencil skirt together make the outfit seem a little more formal and suit-like (but much more comfortable, being jersey!). The leaf print tank is one of those pieces I can wear for work and for days with the kids, it's a great "wear anywhere" piece. I've worn it with the blue necklace before but for something a little different this time I wrapped the necklace around twice instead of leaving it long.

The Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere was a good choice for the predicted wet weather and it's the perfect size for taking my notebook across the city for a meeting in another building. The gold mouse flats were a fun touch with the outfit - metallic gold goes with everything and they are always a talking point when meeting new people.

Why I wore it:

Trying the suit-like look again with a grey jersey blazer and pencil skirt together. The casual fabric stops it from looking too formal for my business casual office. This printed tank is a fun one too and is was just $1 at the opshop, so with this fifth wear I'm really getting great value for money from it! With all the bright colours and mixed prints in the tank I kept the shoes a simple silver to tie in with the grey blazer and skirt, as well as the silver necklace.

The Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere was an easy choice again for another meeting across the city.

Blazers and Jeans With Striped Tees and Mini 5 Zip Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Wearing a favourite Spring outfit combination again! Topping my skinny jeans and tee outfits with colourful blazers, and my adorable little Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bags.


What I wore:

blush blazer, striped tee, skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers and hot pink mini 5 zip bag | awayfromblue

blush blazer and Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware  | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 


Why I wore it:

This blush blazer is such a nice shade of pink, it added a nice touch of colour to the monochromatic black and white striped tee and faded black skinny jeans outfit. I still felt the outfit was lacking some colour though, so I tried adding a brighter pop with this deeper pink mini 5-zip bag, and I really loved it against the blush blazer!

This was a nice comfortable jeans and tee outfit for what has become a regular day - the school run and working from home. I like how the blazer dressed up the jeans and tee a little.


Last worn: blush blazer, beaded necklace, stripe tee, faded black jeans, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris Mini 5 Zip.

Other ways to wearblush blazer worn 2 ways, stripe tee and shorts, faded black jeans and denim jacket, Adidas Superstar and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris Mini 5 Zip and dress.

Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
TeeAtmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

While this is a very monochromatic base outfit, with the white and grey striped tee and the grey skinny jeans and white Converse, I felt this was a very colourful outfit just because of the bag and blazer. Orange and yellow together really packs a punch! Without the bright orange blazer this outfit felt a little plain, the blazer and bag lifted it perfectly I think.

I love yellow and grey together so this bag was the best choice for that alone. I also really like orange and yellow, although I haven't worn it too many times, so this outfit was a nice way to try that combination again.

A bright and cheerful outfit, for again working from home and doing the school run. We also had an appointment for my son after school. Unfortunately my latest library book read doesn't fit in this little mini 5-zip bag, but although we got there a little early, we were actually called in as soon as we sat down to wait, so I hadn't even needed a book anyway!


Last worn: orange blazer, grey striped tee, stone pendant necklace, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-Zip bag.

How You Can Wear It:

Adding a blazer over a jeans and tee outfit is a nice way to add a little extra warmth to your outfit on a spring day. It helps your outfit feel a bit more polished and pulled together too, and can be a good way to add more colour.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Printed A-Line Skirts and Tees In The Office

Working in a business casual office that's more on the casual side than the business side of dressing means tees are perfectly acceptable in the office. I do try dress them up a little each time I wear them, by wearing a pretty skirt like these or adding a blazer or statement necklace.

What I wore:

autumnal coloured outfit with mulberry heritage bayswater tote bag | away from the blue

SkirtFrench Connection silk leaf print skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in camel
BagMulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather (cheaper second hand)

Why I wore it:

This is a very autumnal toned outfit for summer! I thought I'd let the skirt stand out as the star and pair it with neutrals. This dark olive tee is so comfortable and slouchy, and even though it's a very different shade of green from the skirt I thought it went nicely with it. The black blazer and tan ballet flats and Mulberry Bayswater were nice neutral accessories to wear, but I did add a little extra interest with the crystal statement necklace so the outfit didn't feel too dark.

It was a very busy day in the office, and even if my big meeting with a manager was rescheduled, and I didn't need the blazer, I still felt suitably dressed for the day.

Tee: thrifted Mix Apparel black marle tee
Skirt: Garfunkle Australia pleated print skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
BagMulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather (cheaper second hand)

Why I wore it:

I really don't know why I don't wear this skirt more often! It's such a fun piece and I love yellow! Every time I wear it it gets compliments, it's far too pretty to hide away in my wardrobe.

It's the first time I've worn this black tee with it but I do like wearing it with black tops - picking a colour out of the print is such an easy way to pull an outfit together when you're wearing something printed.

Wasn't sure if this necklace was a bit much given the skirt is already a bit of a statement, but I liked the combination when I tried it on that morning so decided to stick with it. The skirt and necklace always get a lot of compliments when I wear them, even more this time around I wore them both together!

The grey blazer and metallic silver shoes were a little bit of matchy-matchy with the outfit too. The big meeting with the manger was rescheduled to this day so the blazer again made me feel suitably dressed.

Navy Dresses, Blazers and Chloe Paddington Bags For The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

While winter is just a few days away in Brisbane, I still have a few more autumn outfits to share, including these printed dress, blazer and boots outfits I wore to the office recently. While the commute was cold, it warmed up during the day, perfect autumn Brisbane weather.

I accessorised both of these outfits with my vintage Chloe Paddington bags. I felt they were overdue a wear, and while the style first came out 17 years ago (and both these bags were made in 2006), I still love the oversized statement they make.


What I wore:

navy blazer and tile print dress with small cream chloe paddington bag | awayfromblue

navy tile print dress, Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc


Why I wore it:

I like wearing this tile print dress with blue, but hadn't yet worn it with this navy blazer! it makes an easy outfit for work. And I like the little print mixing from the gingham lining you can see with the sleeves rolled up slightly.

Added ankle boots instead of my usual go-to Converse for the office as it was a cooler morning. it did warm up later though, didn't even need the blazer for the commute home.

The tassels on the neckline of this dress meant I skipped a necklace and wore these pretty statement earrings instead. And the gold in them matched so nicely with the big gold hardware on my little Chloe Paddington bag.


Last worn: navy blazer, gold earrings, navy print dress, tan ankle boots, small cream Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wearnavy blazer with pink, navy print dress and scarf, tan ankle boots and maxi dress, small cream Chloe Paddington bag and jeans.

DressShein navy flower print flowy dress (c/o) 
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

Another printed dress and blazer combination - but with taller boots this time, and a slip under the dress, as it was a particularly chilly morning on the way into the office! Need my blazer for the commute home this time too. I like the red floral print in this dress, and how it goes so nicely with the orange blazer. I added another little bit of bright colour with this beaded yellow necklace I thrifted recently.

While the tan tall boots don't match the deep dark brown of the Chloe Paddington bag, I liked the two shades of brown with the floral print and orange, they were good neutrals.


Last worn: orange blazer, yellow necklace, floral swing dress, tall tan boots, Chloe Brun Paddington bag.
