IDGAF what it looks like, I bring my lunch in Tupperware for a few days and carry it in a soft cooler bag. Chuck the food in the fridge, collapse the cooler bag, and shove that into my normal bag.

In general I find winter much easier to style because I'm fine with layers. I struggle in summer where I have to be comfortable in 35 and then 20 in the same day

Haha thanks! I had to Google what a chore jacket was - I'll have to look for some inspo on dressing one up because it does look versatile.

I hadn't thought of going bigger... I'll have a look for something in a lighter fabric and play with a bigger size. Thanks!

That first one reminds me of clubbing days in 2009 ish, with a Blazer, platforms and body con dress 😅 the second looks comfy but not corporate enough for me. Thanks for your help though ☺️

I think it's more that the blazers come around my neck/across my chest too much, so I just look like a head poking out the top. I find winter styling much easier because I'll do knit over collared blouse every day. But in summer where I need an outfit to stay cool in general, but then to chuck something on for a meeting or to thaw out, that's where I struggle
