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?

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 🙂
Alles Liebe von Rena

Now that's one cool casual outfit! The orange and stripes works really well! I also do casual on Fridays, all other days I'm in uniform
I imagine it must be tough working somewhere with a very strict dress code! I love your striped blazer, I've been eyeing one lately…

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!
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.

Your clutch is screaming Spring! I love it.
I am lucky enough that I work from home— so I can opt for anything! On the rare occasion when I have an in person meeting, I enjoy dressing up in work attire. As for you– I can't imagine your work would ever complain about your looks!

Hi Madison! How nice you have such days at work, I think is cooler especially cause casual style perfectly suits Fridays with the weekend near 🙂 You look so pretty, what I like most is that you matched the stripes with bright orange instead of red, more glam!:) Have a nice day dear and hope ur week is going well so far, kisses! xo
