08 Oct Thrifty Threads – Casual Fridays
One of the great things about working in a creative field is I’m allowed to dress casually. I could wear jeans every day and no one would bat a lash. Though I have license to keep it pretty relaxed, I still try to dress my look up with the addition of accessories. When I have no idea what I want to wear, a blazer and skinny jeans is always my go-to look. It’s pretty basic, but I added a charm necklace, lace up boots and brightly colored bag to keep it from being too basic. I feel pretty laid back without being too underdressed.
