Is this too casual for work? For an idea, others wear medium-light wash jeans. Untucked shirts are the norm on Fridays, some chunky sweaters, boots... no blazers on most. Hoping the blouse, dark denim and pumps do it.

Looks great!
Why don't you wear skinny jeans to work on a Friday?

Angie, there are plenty of skinny jeans worn on Friday! Sorry if I gave that impression; it wasn't my intention.

Great! This outfit would also look amazing with faded skinny jeans.

Cute! And you look like your individual self among the sea of skinny jeans, I imagine. I love that sleeveless safari jacket/vest/gilet/dress/tunic thingy on you!

Those layered tops or gilet/vest/jacket &...er, what Claire said!... look FABULOUS. I'd be so admiring of a colleague who dressed like that for casual Friday.

I love this outfit on you! I think it's a great Friday outfit - with MUCH more style than just jeans and an untucked shirt :-)

Thanks, speedy ladies! I wore the outfit as-is and am feeling fine. The vest is a BB Dakota I thrifted a while ago - BALKED at the $8.99 price tag, lol, but it met DH approval, so I snapped it up. The shoes are actually these Boutique 9 ombre pumps I thrifted from Goodwill for $8.

I really like this! Love how you added polish to the casual tunic. Sounds like your environment is pretty casual, so if I were you I'd absolutely wear this.

Looks perfect to me - dressier than many of my Friday workmates. The shoes alone make it dressier.

I LOVE it! Not too casual for my company at least :)

It looks great. From the way you describe what others wear on casual Friday, I think this will be fine.

Actually this looks dressy so I think, no problem for casual Friday.
You know I love denim and if I like the jeans I am willing to spend $$$ and not on sale either. Having said that, some of my favorite light wash skinny jeans are from Target which I purchased for under $15. Mine aren't made any more, they are technically jeggings without front pockets but they are so comfortable and I love the wash.

Denise, I do have lighter wash jeggings from Gap... those should probably work, since the tunic covers the bum area. Maybe I'll try those next time, with my dalmatian booties!

Great outfit Are, not too casual at all. Love the combo of olive&citron.
-

I like it, of course. :) I don't think it's too casual at all.

Love it and would happily wear it myself :D
(OK you've reminded me to pull out my olive vest, I loved wearing it with my avocado silk shirt down in LA!)
-
rae replied 11 years ago
*Gasp* You DID wear something very similar in LA, didn't you? You must have seeped into my fashion subconscious! Darn, I should have carried my tomato red bag like you did, too!
-
Aida replied 11 years ago
Teehee, I think I bought that green shirt because I can't wear citron but I so love it on you and that's as close as I can get! :D
-
Joy replied 11 years ago
This outfit looks downright formal compared to light jeans with untucked shirts. Love the citron on you!

I'm no help as far as what's appropriate for casual Friday since I don't work in that sort of environment, but I just have to say that your outfit has great style! Your tunic vest/ gilet/ whatever is so unique and cool, and I love the tonal effect of the avocado and citron and the ombré shoes.

Totally appropriate. You look great.

About
I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
