I’m heading to the annual Women in Focus conference today.
This year it’s just up the road in Noosa and it’s the first time I’ve been invited.
To say I’m excited is an understatement. Two and a half days surrounded by inspirational business women from all around Australia? Yes, that’s got me peaking.
Mr SY is joining me on Friday and Saturday to celebrate our wedding anniversary so all up I’ll be away four nights.
I’m spray-tanned up and ready play resorts when not in conference sessions.
Last night I spent way too much time packing. There is no capsule happening, I can tell you that for sure. I’m taking more on this trip than I did for three weeks in Europe.
One of the many “essentials” that had to come with was the white Surafina jacket, currently for sale in the Styling You Shop.
I’m obsessed with a white jacket. It’s the blazer to take your winter wardrobe into spring summer.
It just freshens and crisps up any look.
This one ticks all my white jacket boxes – and more.
The shape is tailored but not constricting and the length is just right.
I love the single button and wearing the button done up adds even more shape to the jacket.
The fabric is 100% lightweight wool and fully lined so it’s cool and breathable to wear.
You don’t have take it to the dry-cleaners either – great to know for those like me who have a magnetic attraction to food while wearing white.
Roll-up the sleeves for a flattering and even cooler way to rock this style.

The office – corporate

Nothing says you mean business like a jacket. Ditch the dark colours of winter and opt for a white blazer instead. Work it over a LBD, add a scarf and you’re ready for whatever the day throws at you.
The office – casual
1. Surafina white jacket $189 | 2. Frokk tee at Bell and Ford (limited stock left) | 3. Surafina pants $89 (limited stock left) |4. Louenhide bag $89.95
I work from home and occasionally head out for meetings. This is typically how I’ll transition my work-at-home outfit into a meeting outfit. Yes, I just add a blazer. Too simple.
Weekend casual
1. Surafina white jacket $189 | 2. Frokk tee at Bell and Ford (limited stock left) | 3. Surafina scarf (sold out) | 4. Bohemian Traders shorts $109
Who says blazers can’t be all about the casual? This outfit will take you from hanging at home to out to weekend brunch, thanks to the addition of the white jacket and scarf.
Evening out

Take your white jacket out after dark and you will not be disappointed in its ability to turn heads. Team with a black sheer top – I’m so in love with wearing this Frokk one pictured from Bell and Ford – and a long necklace, pants and heels. Smokin’! Somebody better have your first cocktail lined up and ready for you on the bar.
Are you a fan of the white jacket?

I have owned a gorgeous linen Noa Noa blazer which is off white for a couple of years now. It was good to see your post as it has reminded me just how versatile it is and given me a few new ideas of what I can wear it with. I think it will be getting a serious work out this Spring/Summer!
I bought a beautiful Blue Illusion white jacket last season and adore it … but rarely wear it as I too am a dirt (and food) magnet. Literally nothing pops an outfit though like that jacket does. You’ve inspired me to suck it up and buy more napisan!
I love the look of a white blazer but I get so scared of dirtying white that it stops me from wearing it day to day. I think I will have to bite my fear in the butt and buy one for this spring/summer season, I’ll let you know how I go!

I’m wearing my Birdsnest white blazer today in an outfit very similar to #1! Have layered it over a black sleeveless suiting dress and my scarf has a bejewelled ‘sugar skull’ print. Teamed with nude fishnets and peep toes I feel Spring-y but still appropriate for a semi-formal office.

Oh, Noosa, how fun! I am such a dirt magnet, I can’t wear anything white but I wish I could, it certainly looks like a clothing item for every occasion!
I accept that I am! And have shares in Napisan!
Ohhh i love Noosa! Enjoy your trip! That white jacket is gorgeous!
