Casual Friday outfit

Finally, another work week is over!  Everything seems a bit sluggish on Fridays, especially the clock as it ticks closer to the weekend!  By Friday I'm exhausted, and I always opt or a super comfy outfit.  The Friday rule: no too-high heels or pencil skirts. 

Today I went with a lightweight, plaid button down, my favorite pair of skinny jeans and booties.  I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with plaid button downs.  I see other women wear them and they look so adorable!  When I put one on, I somehow feel like I should be on a farm or a ranch, especially when paired with these booties.  I avoid that feeling with this particular one because of the fancy, gold buttons!  Just incase anyone in Manhattan was confused if I was a visiting rancher, I also added the gold belt.  I almost went too matchy by pairing it with gold smoking flats, but I was able to fight the urge.  These booties are more comfortable anyways!

With another week in the books, I'm sharing my full line up. Looking at the week as a whole, I try to mix up the order of pants and skirts. No two days in a row should be too similar--in clothing style or color!  Even though I wore a lot of denim this week, it was a good mix of differing lengths, fits and colors.  

 As I mentioned in earlier posts, I try to plan out my weekly lineup on Sunday nights. Very rarely do I follow the lineup as set. The weather changes, a meeting comes up, we're having dinner with friends after work, etc. This morning I intended to wear a different shirt, but it wasn't steamed (everyone should own a clothing steamer. I definitely prefer it to an iron), and I was running late, as usual.

Knowing I wanted to wear my favorite skinnies, I went to my closet app where I could see the history of every time I wore them and with what. I was able to quickly swap out the wrinkled shirt, which I will steam this weekend so it can be in next week's lineup, and replace with this plaid button down. 

The weekend is here--relax and enjoy! My favorite way to unwind is with a glass of red wine and cuddles from my pup Jax :)  Have a great weekend!

Comfy, one-piece outfits and Birks. My summer work-from-home uniform ☀️ I’ve done lots of cozy jumpsuit research and the @everlane luxe cotton jumpsuit is one of my favorites. Comes in six colors and under $70! The black-on-black leather Arizon
Hello 👋 checking in to say hi—I hope everyone is doing ok. I took a break from posting outfit inspo because there are much more important issues that should be taking up your feed right now. Keep listening, keep actioning, keep loving. I&rsquo
With so much uncertainty, it’s time to focus on really smart purchases. There’s nothing more reasonable than a dress that works for every season, and I’ve got the one! I styled my slip dress four different ways, one for each season.
If I was going to the office today, this is what I’d wear. Instead, I’m in my #wfh sweats perched in front on another Zoom meeting 🙃
Jax and I are settling into our new normal. For him it’s a whole lot more cuddles and longer walks. For me it’s a new way to wear a neckerchief, among manyyy other things.
