Casual Friday

Well, as usual, this Friday took me by surprise. It’s most assuredly true of Fridays after a pretty busy week. One’s still living on a working schedule, but the weekend is already hanging upon our noses. The good thing – and the bad,– about Fridays is that the day tends to grow old and become a night before one even notices this metamorphose. After work (or school) you go for a bite with friends; which leads to friendly cocktails. Boom – and you find yourself on a night terrace drinking wine and chatting with old buddies. So, when figuring out what to wear, one has to consider the opportunity of needing an evening outfit at the end of the day. With that said I’m going to suggest you what I call “going universal”. Mostly, such outfits are surprisingly simple. You just need the basics which you then spice up with one chic detail. I always go with jeans and a black blazer (also replaceable with black leather jacket). I usually would’ve taken my 13cm-pumps but, since I was going for a really long walk, I decided to wear more comfy shoes. (Balerinas are also acceptable.) My final trick is a shiny necklace and some red nail polish, which give the look a glam touch and still are more than appropriate in the daytime.  

Please, share with me some of your ploys. And, of course, enjoy the weekend.

Sincerely yours,

E.R.
