Highs and Lows: Casual Day at Work

Yesterday we had a casual day at work – how fun to see everyone in their “everyday” clothes!  I personally had a more difficult time choosing an outfit than usual, as it was stressful to find something “casual,” but still professional and not too trendy.  There were a couple of pleasant surprises though! 

Highs

• “Jenny”
  • Mid-30’s, 5 months pregnant, super-cute girl-next door
  • Cute beige cropped pants; white eyelet empire-waisted top
• “Barb”
  • Early 50’s, thin
  • great skinny-ish jeans; animal-print, chiffony, kimono tunic; slim black flip flops
• “Mary”
  • Mid-Late 40’s, fit, above-average pretty
  • Pinkish-tan cropped pants; white peasanty (but not too much) top; pinkish-tan low-heeled slingbacks; too much jewelry
• Me (naturally!)
  • Cropped blue-gray pants (Old Navy); white layering tank (?); black, pouf and short-sleeved knit top with crochet detail at split-nick (Banana Outlet); blue Havaianas

Lows

• Young woman, early 20’s, tall, thin, v. pretty (GAG)
  • Bright yellow thin-knit tee; white cami underneath; tight black clubby flared pants; high black pointed-toe pumps; too much makeup
  • Why it doesn’t work: top and bottom halves weren’t cohesive; it was also kind of slutty
• All the ladies in bad capris; overly matchy-matchy outfits; way too many clunky slides
