Not-so-casual Friday



You all know I love casual Friday - but today was actually my birthday as well, so I thought I would dress up a little more than usual.  There was a fun birthday happy hour after work that I wanted to be cool and comfy for, so I decided to wear this breezy skirt and lightweight top.  I got this skirt from the Gap outlet months ago but this is the first time wearing it - I have no idea why!  I'll definitely be wearing it more often.

I have so many pieces in my closet that I hesitate to wear and then once I do, I don't know why on earth I waited!  Do any of you have forgotten pieces/neglected items in your closet??  I know this makes me want to go through mine looking for more pieces like this skirt!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

  4. You look so pretty! It happens to me all the time that I buy clothes and then wait forever to wear it... and then, once I wear it, I realize how stupid I was for not wearing it before :)

  5. You look great! I hope you had a fabulous birthday! I am really bad about not wanting to wear "certain item" until "certain occasions" but then the occasion doesn't occur so I forget about that piece. Now I must explore my closet more!

  7. Happy Birthday!!! All the best to you as you embark on a new journey...and did you notice that the night before and the next morning gravity did NOT take its toll on anything! I was so worried that the next morning I'd wake up to find some sag but much to my surprise...nada! LOL...I am being melodramatic HAHAHA!

  15. I hope you had a wonderful birthday!! You look so pretty in this outfit!

    I do have some neglected pieces in my closet. I buy things and then can't find anything to wear them with. I have to take some time and go through my closet and see what I can mix and match. I need more time in the day!!!

  16. Love your look, especially since I'm today wearing a VERY similar skirt from ann taylor with a beige blouse (though added a pink cardy). Love your play with color using your necklace! GOod idea for next time!

    So sorry for the delay in answering the question, Lindsey!! The lip color is actually 2 things. 1) Guerlain ROUGE AUTOMATIQUE in Nahema #143 and 2) Chanel gloss in Pensee #277. To sum it up, they are both a pink-ish coral :)
