At your workplace are you allowed to have casual Fridays? I
had never been able to fully experience such a day until recently. For everyone, once
a month there is a casual Friday where you are allowed to wear dark denim
preferably, or relaxed attire that’s also suitable for the office.
Of course, there is always that one person who will try to
push the envelope, but it doesn't last very long before ramifications of
defiance set in. Some time ago, I was able to wear this outfit, which was great
because it was a nice day out. Afterward, I added my trimmed hat and went for a
stroll to do some food shopping.
The inspiration was a fusion of casual, yet modern
bohemian elements and nautical grace—the only maritimesque inspired pieces that I used were
the faux freshwater pearls, and the navy and white stripes. I added some jewelley from the Born Pretty store—the crown pendant was adorable. I was also impressed by the rings, and quality of the pendant. I think adding a mix of brown and silver embellishments to this look
made me think of spring even more, although currently cold breezes have arrived here and there.
I know that some people steer away from blending opposing
metals or colours together, but I always welcome it. Why not? Instead of
pairing a traditional red with the navy I used orange as the bold embracing
colour.
This somewhat unconventional style worked well with the
charcoal denim combination, and most importantly, a very easy outfit for a casual
work day. Meanwhile, this week I am back to adding finishing touches to a few projects.
Do you have these types
of work days? How is your week going so far?

This is wonderful doll, love the striped blazer to top it all off. Beautiful. I hope you have a great day doll xx
ReplyDeleteYou rock sweetie,I love your combination. Ofcourse at work we are allowed casual Fridays. Most people visit pubs or clubs after work so it's best to do that without your suits, lol...Funny, It has always been casual for me at work place,thank goodness i don't work in a bank,my job is s flexible.

ReplyDeleteWhen I used to work in an office, we had casual Fridays. This outfit would've been perfect:)
ReplyDeleteLove that jacket btw.
Have a great weekend, Madison!
Oooh Madison! Hand over that jacket and clutch! You look so pretty :) That orange and navy looks great together. Cheers to mixing it up and not doing the usual stuff!

Mixing metals is fun! We do have more of a casual Friday where I work. You're allowed to wear denim but it has to be the company's denim and none of the pants fit me well. So unfortunately I don't really get to participate.

I'm pretty fortunate in that there are very little office wear rules that I have to follow at my office. It's pretty low-key. I love that! I also love your striped blazer!
ReplyDeleteI use to have casual fridays in my previous job! I really like your outfit, that hat looks great on you!

Liebe Madison, Dein Outfit ist ganz nach meinem Geschmack, es gefällt mir sehr und steht Dir so gut! Der gestreifte Blazer ist ein wahrer Traum. Am Freitag darf es bei uns etwas lässiger sein als gewöhnlich in der Arbeit, auch wenn es nicht offiziell Casual Friday heißt :)
