Aussie transplant Charlotte Bridgeman is one of those people who can make a solid sweater, jeans, and a blazer feel like the most stylish look in the world. And it is, in a way. Her closet is full of classic pieces with subtle, modern twists that give it the “wow” factor that keeps her 200,000 followers engaged. Below is her weekly style diary, documenting how she dressed over the course of a few days — in some of Bloomingdale’s best fall buys.

Morning Meeting

Whistles Ribbed Merino-Wool Sweater, $239, and Cuffed Cropped Pants, $239; AQUA Medium Croc-Embossed Box Bag Satchel, $68; Loeffler Randall Gema Graphite Zip-Up Booties, $495; and Bridgeman’s own jewelry

I’m lucky that, working in fashion, I can get away with wearing pretty casual pieces to meetings, so my everyday breakfast-meeting outfit would be jeans paired with a blazer, and either a loafer or a heel. I love that this bright blue sweater is casual, but is easily dressed up with pants that are more on the more formal side. The snakeskin boots add some on-trend pattern to the look.

Busy Workday

Joie Martia C Plaid Blazer, $398; AQUA Cashmere Scallop-Trim Sweater, $178, and Dee Leather & See-Through High-Heel Mules, $99; Joe’s Jeans The Icon Ankle Flawless Jeans, $189; Alice.D Small Leather & Shearling Tote, $525; and Bridgeman’s own jewelry

Jeans with a blazer can take you to almost any situation.

I’m always on the go. Whether I’m working on a photo shoot, a partnership, or attending Fashion Week events, I honestly think jeans with a blazer can take you to almost any situation. It’s the perfect combo for running to meetings, a packed workday, or meeting up for drinks. I love that this blazer really elevates a jeans-and-sweater look and fits perfectly.

Special After-Work Event

Equipment Norden Wool Mini Blazer Dress, $495; AQUA Dion Half d’Orsay High-Heel Pumps, $89; Shiseido InnerGlow CheekPowder in Aura Pink, $29; and Dior Rouge Dior Lip Color, $37

My style is pretty classic with a modern twist, but I do like to dress up when the time is right. A regular “work” outfit can easily be changed to a “going out” look by simply adding a higher heel and a bold lip, and by re-styling a few pieces. I’d go with more of a risqué, bold look by ditching the pants that match this blazer/dress and wearing it solo. Suit by day, mini dress by night.
