Casual Friday…but not too casual!

Hey guys,

All of us love to go to work comfy – showing our style and originality.  But…. you are still at work. You want to be casual and “real” but you also remain professional and “promotable”.

Please know that your Sr. VP will remember your skull t-shirt, when she is considering if you would make a good Director for the new division.    Also, if you are already the BOSS (as you should be), you don’t want to give up any credibility. You can do casual, but remember you are always chic. On your office-casual days… go for casual, comfy ceo-classics.

Love the comfortable, unstructured neutral?  Here are a few ideas from J.Jill, Talbots and Ashley Stewart, that show that you are always the boss, no matter how comfy the clothes .  (link to the pink Converse below) 🙂

 

J.Jill Gets everything right in this casual, sophisticated and ultra comfy cowl-neck dress. Couldn’t find the shoes, but found some comfy wedges from Clarks that should be perfect.

 

Who says there’s no room for khaki in the office? This blazer from J.Jill says … “Think again”

 

 

On your casual Boss Girl days, try these looks from Talbots!

Plaid is always a plus.. and it matches everything. This jacket will be a wardrobe staple.

Whoever said horizontal stripes weren’t flattering, never saw this cardigan.  Yass…..

Who needs coffee when this velvet blazer energizes you all day long? In multiple colors.. oh my!

 

For the budget-conscious trend setter.  Ashley Stewart offers some great “power casuals” for the office.

This awesome crisp white tunic with leather leggings…

 

This blazer has it all. Color blocking, leather, and a bit of jazzy…

 

When asked about this pretty lace trench, your response should be… “I threw this together last minute.”- #howidocasual
