This week is the last part of my 3-part outfit photo series showing you how to use a versatile fitted blazer to make Working Mom Outfits in 3 of the 5 levels, from a Level 2/Weekend Chic all the way to Level 4/Client Meeting.
Today we’ve reached Level 4, Client Meeting. This level is going-to-work friendly. It’s all business!
The outfit shares two of the three main foundation pieces from Level 2 and Level 3: the blazer itself and the V-neck sweater.
But now we’ve ditched the denim and gone all the way to a skirt with tights. Instant transformation.
I could have kept the scarf and boots from Level 3, but I wanted to up-level everything, so I opted for a chunky glass bead necklace and kitten heel pumps.
In the end, it’s a lot of earth tones, so if I wear this outfit again, I will look for ways to inject some color, like coral or aqua.

I’ve been enjoying this series, having recently made peace with blazers.
Glad you liked it! I think the key to being friends with a blazer is fit, fit, fit. The ones that almost fit me, but not quite, always hang in my closet forlornly!
