Washable Workwear Wednesday: Relaxed Fit Blazer
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
If you’re looking for a modern, relaxed-fit blazer, here’s an easy-care version.
This fully lined blazer has a bit of stretch for comfort. The smooth poly-blend fabric contains polyester made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. This jacket has traditional notched lapels, flap pockets, and seams in the front and back to give some definition to its straight cut.
While I’d save the model’s crop top/faded jeans combo for after hours, I would style it with a button-down and slim trousers for the office.
Open Edit’s Relaxed Fit Blazer is $79 at Nordstrom and comes in “navy baritone,” black, and “brown caribou” (tan). It’s available in sizes XXS-XL.

Hello
My Ex-wife is back with the help of dr_m a ck…………………yahoo .com
We RSVP’d to a birthday party for this weekend. The invite didn’t say not to bring a gift, so I assumed we would bring a gift and I’m totally fine with that. Mom texts me today and said “BTW don’t worry about a gift.” So should I bring a gift?
Most nights return home at 6:30-7:30. Dinner is usually cooked and needs to be reheated or lightly cooked (I often prep it during lunchtime since I work from home… like I will make pancake batter but then make fresh pancakes for dinner type thing), they eat dinner in 30 mins (husband and I eat after bedtime). Then we do PJ/bedtime/stories/teeth and pack backpacks for next day. Can get them in bed by 8:30 if I want (youngest usually goes down then; older one will stay up hanging or watching a movie with us if we are all in the mood or reading in bed if I have other stuff to do)
Can anyone with elementary-aged kids participating in activities resulting in later return-home time share your evening routines for those nights? In our case, DS usually goes to bed at 8, but gets home from Activity around 7:15/30 twice a week. I dislike rushing through the dinner/shower/bedtime routine and am looking for the most effective dials to turn. We are going to experiment with dinner pre-activity (5-ish) and a post-activity snack, as well as just accepting a later bedtime those nights and setting an earlier bedtime the other nights of the week. Any other ideas?
Somewhat late in the day, but does anyone have any ideas to pass to my preschool? We go to a well regarded but smaller preschool with one 3s class, one 4s class, and one 5s class. Each class has two teachers. There’s a 2 hour nap time for 3s and 4s, necessary because she says her teachers are required to have a 1 hour lunch break. It’s very difficult for my child to lay quietly and “rest his body” for the first hour and then they get some quiet activities int he 2nd hour. I’ve asked why he cant have quiet activities the whole time and she says that the kids that nap in the 4s class wont nap if activities’ are provided to everyone and she needs to let them sleep. This logic does not make sense to me. Why cant everyone get a quiet activity and decide if they want to sleep or not in the 4s class? Any ideas or thoughts?
i just love the things that come out of the mouths of children. my K daughter had this exhibition at school this morning with these posters and kids had to include the most important thing about themself. Some answers to The Most Important Thing about Me is included: “I can sleep,” “I am good at everything,” and “I demand a lot of attention.”
Navy baritone? Does the person who comes up with the color names have synesthesia?
On a trip over the weekend, my 5 year old and I discovered Great British Bake-Off and watched a bunch of it together. It was such a fun milestone watching something together that’s not a kid’s show, and I wondered if this group had suggested for other shows that are appropriate for early elementary school kids but interesting for adults.
This blazer is fine (I’m still clinging to my $20 Target blazer) but I really want these jeans.
