OOTD: Typical Casual Friday outfit

Posted on August 22, 2010November 4, 2014 by Elaine

I know it’s Sunday, but I’m always behind on my posts anyway 😛  This is an outfit that I might wear any day of the week at my work place but most of you may not be able to wear except maybe on casual Fridays.

Jeans:  Guido and Mary size 25 (made in Canada!)
Top:  Smart Set XS
Belt:  Danier

Wow, I think my whole outfit is from Canadian retailers!

Close up of the pretty sleeve details:

Would most of you be able to wear this casual Friday outfit to work?  I’m pretty sure my office environment is really casual compared to most places.

In more exciting news Vicky is hosting a great giveaway to celebrate her 100th post!!

    @Canadianpetite Thanks so much for your comment – I know I get excited too when I find a Canadian blogger LOL! I’m over 30 too so we can learn from all the petite bloggers together. The top is really old actually – probably a few years! Anyway, welcome and hope to hear (and maybe see) more from you.

    Thanks so much – everyone seems to be loving the jeans, maybe I should see if the Guido&Mary skinny jeans will be the ones!

    I finally subbed to a fellow Canadian. Being over 30, I too have difficulty finding more conservative clothes for work. Not brave enough to blog my outfits as I hope to learn more thru PAG and AN. Love the details on that top. Which store did you buy it from? Have you tried Current?

    That blouse is so cute. The color goes well with jeans. I can also wear jeans to work on Fridays which I like.

    @ Elle – I’m pretty sure it’s a Canadian retailer only which is why most haven’t heard of the brand. Sometimes I can get lucky and find stuff that fits at these retailers 🙂

    That top is SO cute, I love the feminine sleeve details. I am the kind of person who will get something because of their cute buttons or incredible ruffles and I love your top. I have never heard of the brand though.

    @ Ping, aradhana, PAG and Hannah – thanks for the style ideas. These will make me wear this shirt more often 🙂

    These jeans are by far my favorite pair. They are also my most expensive pair at well over $100 (eek!) – but they are about 3 years old now? So I think they were well worth it.

    @Little Dust Princess – I know Toronto has been so humid hasn’t it? My office is frigid so I was ok wearing this the whole day – then I just hopped into my car and went home LOL

    @Petite XXS – GOOD EYE! Yes it is!

    I can’t wear jeans to work at all. I can’t wear any denim, actually, so I don’t do denim skirts or anything. I bought a denim vest to test the waters and see if I can get away with it. 🙂 I’m not even allowed to wear open-toe shoes in my office! It’s sad, really.

    You look fantastic in this outfit! The color is so pretty and I love the addition of the belt. I would absolutely wear this on a weekend in the fall! Summer is too hot here in Florida for jeans.

    I love the color of this blouse! It’s so prettyyyyy!

    And plus, I feel like the way the belt is on your stomach elongates your body a lot! I swear you don’t look petite at all in this photo, lol.

    I like it! [:

    Oh and for a variation, you could totally tuck the shirt into your jeans and wear the belt as an actual belt! It looks adorable in my head! Lol.

    cute blouse (love the color!) and really nice fitting jeans. the buttons on the sleeves makes the blouse extra special. i think i’d like to see it with either no belt or with a wide belt. 🙂

    Nice and casual. That would be my outfit to work most of the time excluding summer. I wear skirts and dresses exclusively in the summer.

    Thanks for entering my giveaway. Good luck. 🙂

Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom sensitive-tummy-approved cake from @jujulet! Cause life’s too short not to mark special occasions 🐶❤️🎂 

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

I was invited to try the Turkish Bath Ritual and was truly blown away. The space is beautiful and calming, the service was impeccable, and the treatment itself was divine. 🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️ 

It’s an indulgence to be sure, but one I would 10/10 recommend for special occasions. 

Have you tried this type of treatment?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊

A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk abou A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk about here. 🫤 I’ll be reaching out to the company in question to make them aware of the situation, but I wanted to share it with you all as well. 

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.
