Washable Workwear Wednesday: Schoolboy Sweater-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.
I consider sweater-blazers a workwear essential. Here, J. Crew took their classic Schoolboy blazer and turned it into a comfy, easy-care sweater-blazer.
This classic cut sweater-blazer is made from soft cotton, and has a rounded hem, notched lapel, and a single button closure. I wear my sweater-blazers with nice jeans for a casual office look (it’s one of my favorite business travel outfits), or a pencil skirt when I want to lean into the business side more than the casual one.
This sweater-blazer is on sale for $82.50 and comes in heather acorn, black, heather loden (lucky sizes only), and sweet blush (also lucky sizes only). It’s available in sizes XX-Small to 2X as well as petites.

I have a toddler and preschooler and we are recovering from HFM at our house – ugh. They are both physically back to normal but they are emotional disasters – so fussy, throwing temper tantrums, not sleeping well, and losing it over nothing. They don’t have sores or anything left and no fevers for days. They aren’t usually like this and I’m losing my mind. Not sure what I’m looking for other than maybe hope that this will pass?
We purchased a new sofa about 11 months ago. The fabric has several snags that have popped up since we’ve had it. My assumption is this is something that is not covered by the warranty and the result of “normal wear and tear”. Likely a poor fabric choice on my part. This is absolutely not something that was on my radar to look out for – I’ve never had furniture snag like this before. Would you go back to the store? Has anyone else experienced this?
Tell me how you manage all the log ins and passwords for all the accounts for all the things for all the kids? Does anyone else struggle with this?
my kids’ schools have one platform for lunch money, a separate one for school fees/field trips, and then there’s the platform to check grades and teacher assignments. Then one teacher uses a texting platform that we have to create an account for. Thank goodness our new school does not use Class Dojo because our old school did for all communication and my ancient smartphone didn’t have the memory for that.
I feel like such a grumpy Luddite. I just want an email when I need to know something and one platform to log in for everything else.
And then there’s aftercare and activity sign ups, each with its own log in. (Was that an email user name or did I create a username?) I feel like I’m hitting “forgot password” every time I want to sign the kids up for something.
Is this what a password manager is for?
Scheduled an appointment for my 15 month old for the moderna shot – does anyone have any tips or advice? Anything we should anticipate? I know it’s come up before, but I can’t find the comments about it.
I need to reset my skin routine and need help. Has any one had a makeup consultation at Sephora? Or should I go to a makeup counter in a department store?
My makeup routine has been tinted moisturizer w/spf and some loose powder at most for the last 25 years, but now that I’m 40 it’s really not cutting it anymore. I know I need more coverage than my tinted moisturizer can handle but I bought some Neutrogena product at the CVS and it is totally the wrong color and it’s flaky. I dont mind spending much more than that price point but i have no idea where to start. I would also like some help learning makeup basics like how to put on eyeliner (!!). Is this a question for a 30-min consult at Sephora or some other thing?
whats the etiquette these days on parents socializing if they have a sick kid at home. i dont mean from the perspective of watching the kid (like i most certainly do not think mom has to stay home to watch a sick kid, dad or a babysitter can also do that), but from a germ perspective. if you feel ok, but your kid feels sick, are you supposed to stay home to avoid spreading their germs?
Has anyone done Suzuki violin with their kid? How did it go? My kid was very interested to start, but has been losing interest after 5 lessons. Her teacher is very, very particular so most time is spent on just practicing holding the violin (not even with the bow) and we’ve just worked up to holding the bow, too. She’s a kid and wants to get on to playing. Did it get better after the initial learning curve to get started?
Any area rug recommendations for a family with two kids and a puppy? The puppy seems to have stopped peeing on the rugs and the old ones are done for. They were cheap-o ones from rugs.com or something. I was not happy with that. I would like a step up in quality but not a fancy one that when someone inevitably spills on it, I will be sad.
We need one (ideally super soft) for the living room and then one for the dining room that open up to the deck so probably needs like an indoor/outdoor rug since it gets trekked on by kids and the dog.
I have this sweater blazer in the featured color and in black and wear it a lot. The bonus of the black one is it reads like a “real” blazer over zoom. I’d say runs ever so slightly large.
Just en route home from a job interview – is my kid going to be more excited by the prospect of a more local job (2 hour bus train versus a plane ride) or the fact that I finally found a green ninja minifig at the shop? I’m betting Lloyd beats mummy…
Just dropped my Kindergartner off at before-school care. He found another girl building Legos and said quietly to me “You can leave now Mommy”. Cue all the feels.
I definitely teared up a bit picking him up yesterday, I think I’m more sad about missing his old daycare/preschool than nervous about the new one. I loved every single teacher and staff and they all had such a bond with him. They sent home all his stuff and I was unpacking his little 2T undies from when he first started that had migrated through all his extra clothes cubbies over time. That was probably the most emotional for me. It will be weird not to be able to to text the director and get his status at any moment.
I have to record a conference session for virtual participants today so I need to get it together!! And I’m hopefully closing an offer w/ a candidate to fill an open req on my team….big day.
