This outfit from Wendy’s Lookbook is great for casual Friday if your office isn’t that casual. Because, let’s face it, some offices will never embrace jeans on Friday.
A white blazer is a great piece for any time of year. This Mango blazer is a great place to start. Need two buttons? This Calvin Klein blazer is a great option. Plus-size? This Modcloth blazer is the way to go.
Chambray shirts pair well with a large number of pieces. Wear them with a floral pencil skirt, colorful trousers, or a pair of printed shorts. This Gap one is nice because it’s simple. If you want one a bit darker, try this top from Old Navy.
The slim, ankle trouser is a nice alternative to jeans. But I love the look of black denim, so try these AG Farrah jeans. Like the distressed look? These 7 for all Mankind jeans are sale-priced.
I like the headband updo, but it never looks right one me. Instead, I recommend this slightly messy bun.
I love a chambray button up with black jeans, got to avoid the dreaded Canadian tuxedo look! I usually put a white tank underneath peaking out for that pop, I’ve never mastered layering a blazer over a thick shirt, gets all bunchy and annoying.
Fantastic look for casual Friday at my office, and I already have everything except the white blazer, which is on the list for my June birthday. Love it when that happens. Thanks!
