Casual Wednesday

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the casual Friday of the week.  As I was leaving the house, my marm commented that my outfit was very casual.  But then when I got to work, one of my co-workers said I looked like I had walked out of an Anthro catalogue!   How sweet is that?

Four Hours of Sleep Friday!

Friday morning it was really hard to go to work having crawled into bed after a midnight showing of Harry Potter the night before. Not only did I have to go to work, but after work I headed out to my brother's birthday party. Luckily my clothes and a large amount of caffeine didn't let me down. I actually wore my Chuck Taylor's because a work friend and I had both agreed to wear them on Friday, but it ended up being a good decision as I did a lot of running around . I actually really liked how they fit in with the outfit. Usually I would have worn some dressier flats, but these actually worked out perfectly.

Happy Weekend All!

With a Little Help from My Friends!

Its Friday, the sun is shining, and two friends contributed to my outfit today. When I planned out this outfit last week I failed to put aside a belt or socks. The socks would not have been such an issue except my legs are super sore from two days of yoga (yes it can happen) so I wanted to wear my converse. Luckily one of the people I work for brought me some socks so I could run for my bus this afternoon sans blisters. And my roomie Mrs. V luckily still had some belts in the apartment and was her usual generous self and loaned me a belt.

I really liked my outfit today. It has been a crazy week and this outfit was both comfortable and functional. I went up and down the stairs about a dozen times today (no joke), but I still felt like I looked pulled together and professional.

I felt like the belt I borrowed from Mrs. V gave my outfit a nice kick of color and pattern. I also like that both my converse and my belt today had floral patterns on them. I am a big fan of floral, and using it as an accent is one of my favorite tricks.

Princess Fiona was kind enough to hang out during my photo shoot today. As I mentioned in a previous post, the Schnuggliest cat in the world!
