Casual Friday? Not Exactly...

Happy Friday!  We don't really have Casual Friday, but I sneaked this look in today and it was somewhat casual for me. 

Knit Top: Grace

Sleeveless Tunic: Elizabeth & James via HauteLook

Ponte Pants:  Trina Turk also via HauteLook

Shoes: Manolo Blahnik

Pink Bracelet: Bought aboard cruise ship

Faux-Pearl Bracelet: Thrifted

Necklace: Carolee (Given to me as a bridesmaid gift in 1999!)

Earrings: Old Navy

Since it is Friday, I wanted to be comfortable, but still look a bit conservative.  No one wears jeans other than the dark denim trousers and I don't have any of those yet.  These Trina Turk pants are very easy to wear but they aren't leggings and they hold their shape very well. I really love these shoes.  They are surprisingly comfortable for as high as they look. 

I got this necklace as a bridesmaid's gift back in 1999! It is a sentimental piece for me because I am a true believer of love and they are still married and in love. Not to mention, the necklace itself is very feminine and delicate. I paired a pair of Old Navy earrings to give the jewelry a bit of weight.

The bracelets, I've worn before and I love the look of the stacked bangles, but I have a very hard time pulling the look off myself.  I think the round beads of each bracelet complement each other nicely and it's not too distracting when I am walking down the hall.

I am hoping no one notices that the 6AM middle of the night photos made a comeback for this post.  At what point do you start paying your photographer?  What's the going rate for 6 or 7 photos to choose from? Do I have to pay Hazard Pay for being out on the sidewalk at 6AM? How does everyone else manage beautiful, sunny and relaxed photos!?!?

Have a great weekend!
