Wear It Three Ways: Take Three – Casual Friday!
The third and final installment of this week’s Wear It Three Ways series is devoted to the most sacred workday of all: CASUAL FRIDAY. Cha. Ching.As you’ve seen, this blazer seamlessly transitions from a more formal, conservative ensemble to a spring or summer Casual Friday look. And, while this silk tank and capri combo picks up on the huge mixed print trend this spring, restricting the combination to two prints with the same color duo tones it down a bit for the office.But as always, it’s up to you to decide what’s most appropriate for your specific work environment. A dramatic mixed print look may be too much if your office is very formal and/or conservative. If that’s the case, just go with one or the other, because I don’t want to be held responsible if your boss’s head explodes when you walk in the door. That would just be awkward. And messy.

Wear It Three Ways: Take Two – Client Meeting
Take two of this week’s Wear It Three Ways is a more conservative take on the pink and navy jacket you saw yesterday. When headed to a client meeting, it’s often a good idea to tone down dramatic color combinations or patterns. In this case, I let the jacket do all the talking, throw on a tailored navy dress, and jazz it up (a little) with some gold jewelry. While this outfit may not jump off the page quite as much as the polka dot skirt seen yesterday (or what’s on deck for tomorrow), it’s definitely a reminder that less can be so much more.(Also, if you’re wondering why I look like I’m holding an imaginary cigarette in the last photo, I really have no explanation…)And if, like me, you feel that the summer institution of “Casual Friday” is one of the most magical gifts of all time, you’ll want to stay tuned for our third installment tomorrow. It’s Casual Friday, people. Things are gonna get wiiiiiild (well, at least for the office).

Wear It Three Ways: Take One – Presentation Day
When it comes to my work wardrobe, I’m all about versatility. When I invest in a piece I really love, I want to make sure it can go the distance. Over the next three days, you’ll see how this pink and navy jacket can be worn not only three different ways, but specifically for three different work situations. First at bat today is how I’d suit up for presentation day at the office. This pink and navy jacket really knocks it out of the park.(Yeah, get used to the sports analogies. I grew up with only brothers, therefore my entire life is a sports analogy.)

Monday Muse
Fresh off a pastel-fueled Easter weekend, we thought we’d kick off this week with some spring hues…

The Hope of Spring
For those of you getting away from the office to celebrate the holiday this weekend like us, we wish you a beautiful, happy, hope-filled Easter. But even if you don’t celebrate Easter, we encourage you to at least take it as an egg-scuse for more chocolate! (I’m sorry I really tried to stop myself but I just couldn’t.)To finish off the week, we thought we’d share some Easter-inspired spring hope (and color!) inspiration. We feel that the message is universal, regardless of your activities this weekend, and we can’t wait to put these beautiful pastel shades to good use!
