Do you working women have casual Fridays at your office?  My office does not.  Sometimes I feel as though I have forgotten how to dress casual, and then I think about it….and that might not be such a bad thing after all.

Part of me loves the fact that my job calls for flowy blouses, pencil skirts, and tailored blazers.  I think the way you dress has a direct reflection on the way you feel, and when I dress professional, I feel professional, powerful, and respected.  And that’s an awesome feeling.

I kind of sort of threw this outfit together on a whim after waking up a little too late in the morning and I ended up loving the combination of forest green with black, white, and gold.  Definitely a color combo I’ll be experimenting with more often.

I have two new favorite etsy stores to share with you guys today.  The first is where my necklace is from, called H.Finn Jewelry.  The shop is filled with gorgeous delicate druzy necklaces in every shape and color you could imagine.  If I’m being honest, I’ve worn the necklace every day since I got it.  I either wear it alone or layer it with other necklaces.  P.S.  If you love it as much as I do then stay tuned for next week — you’re in for a treat! 🙂

I also want to point out my bracelet, which is from Cathryn Ann Designs.  Let me tell you, if you’re looking to spruce up your arm party, she has the cutest stuff.  And it’s super affordable for an original piece.

xoxo,

    Cute outfit! I read somewhere that people have anxiety about casual fridays because they don't know what to wear. I can kind of understand that. At my office we have casual friday, but can't wear jeans. It makes figuring out what is casual(er) but not too casual difficult.

    Love this outfit.. you did a great job 'throwing it' together. Sometimes those end up being the best outfits.

    That blazer is fabulous! Overall I love this outfit! I used to always be dressed up for my job too — now that I don't have to be I must say I spend a lot more time in leggings. In the summer I'm still almost always in a dress, but in winter(it's 0 degrees today) I give up and go for warm and comfortable!

    Love it all…and I miss wearing skirts or dressing up period. I don't miss working, but just the cute outfits I could put together.
