Hope everyone had a good week at work and you’re starting to make plans for the weekend! This weekend, Batman and I are heading to Kansas City to spend time with family and friends. After being in San Francisco for a week, I couldn’t imagine another weekend without him.

While preparing for my trip back home, I needed to find a travel bag for my growing pup. For those with doggies and are on the lookout for a airline approved carrier, I found this wonderful carrier from Wagwear. It’s a local NYC boutique. Anyways, we bought this carrier for Batman. Since he’s already outgrown his first carrier, we decided to invest in a higher end bag. It will be the only carrier we’ll need for several years.

Appreciate everyone’s feedback on Monday’s series, one piece worn two ways. I have a few fun ideas for upcoming posts.

What to Wear to Work | Casual Friday at the Office

The J.Crew Regent Blazer is one of my favorite pieces in my closet. I own this blazer in black and camel. The blazer is a staple for the office and after hours. It can be worn with a floral dress, skinny jeans or a pencil skirt. J.Crew just announced they are now offering this blazer in navy. The navy blazer is a great piece to transition into the spring, especially if you’re a fan of stripes and more nautical looks.  

The blazer is made our of 98% wool and 2% spandex. There is some stretch to the blazer, but nothing significant. I'm wearing a size 00 Regular. When I wear blazer, I keep them unbuttoned. For my body type, petite and curvy, blazers look best when open and more fitted. The high collar is one of my favorite features about this blazer. The collar looks more feminine than the traditional flat collar on most blazers.

What to Wear to Work | Casual Friday

Finding outfits to wear to the office on causal Fridays is always one of my biggest challenges. You don't want your jeans to be too tight and your heels too high. The best advice I can give to anyone trying to figure out what to wear on a casual Friday, replace one piece from a daily work outfit. For example, the outfit I'm wearing can easily be worn with a pair of trousers to the office. I substituted the trousers for a dark denim. These jeans work great with the office for two reasons; the jeans are not tight, nor fraying at the ends. I also prefer dark denim at the office. They look more polished than faded denim. Another alternative to this outfit, I could have worn the white top, trousers and a strappy heels to the office. 

These metallic pumps have been such a life saver at the office. They're really comfortable (no joke) and they're the perfect height to walk around all day. 

After reading this article from Refinery29 about wearing sneakers to the office, I had to try them out with this outfit. Although I'd never wear this outfit to the office in a million years, I thought it was fun to see an alternative look by adding converse and a baseball cap. On that note, it's Friday and see you soon!
