Casual Friday

Problem #5: I still feel like I have to "dress up" on Casual Fridays...
Solution: You can still be dressed up, but also be dressed down.

Does my solution sound a little confusing?  Ok, here's what I mean.  Even if your workplace has a "Casual Friday", sometimes there is still an aura around that you still need to be "dressed up".  Now, this may not mean suits or skirts, but it also doesn't mean cut-off shorts and flannel.

My suggestions for solving this problem are wearing what you might normally wear with dress pants or a skirt, but pair it with a dark-wash jean (if jeans are allowed), or white/black jeans.

Today's outfit shows how white jeans can be a perfectly wearable on Casual Fridays.  Although mine are torn (DON'T wear torn jeans--it's just the ones I wanted to wear today), you can still get the picture.  I paired it with a t-shirt that could easily be worn throughout the week with more dressier components, and a jersey cover-up that has a lace back.  This outfit is extremely comfortable, relaxed, but still looks dressy enough to wear to work.  I accessorized with some red flats (to add a little color) and layered with bracelets, and there you go!

Shirt: Victor Alfaro
Cover-up: St. Tropez West (TJ Maxx)
Jeans: American Eagle
Flats: Born
Bracelets: Kohls, Lia Sophia, Francesca's Collections (Madison, WI), Fossil

**I want to let you all in on a little secret--if you're looking for cute hair accessories or jewelry, check out Hobby Lobby!!  I know it sounds strange, but sometimes, when they're having some of their 50% off sales, you can get things for next to nothing.  I bought this hair clip (set of two) there the other day, and it came to only $2.50!!  Anywhere else, they would have been at least $10!  Always check their website for deals and see what you can find!

Sorry, short post today--have a meeting in about 40 minutes and don't want to be late!

Jenna--I hope my suggestions helped you!  I tried my best!  If anyone else has any ideas for theme weeks, please let me know, they're a lot of fun!  Next week is going to be "Vintage Week"--highlighting items I have found at vintage/goodwill stores!

Happy Friday and have a good weekend to you all :)
