Mom Style: Casual Office Attire

It’s time for another episode of Mom Style, wherein I look like a nerdface while posing for photos in front of my office building while people sidestep me trying to get to the parking lot…

You guys, I love casual Fridays. Casual Fridays make my heart sing Judy Garland songs. I work in engineering, which can be very buttoned up, but every Friday we can take it down a notch, which is so fabulous. Most of the time I just wear jeans and a cute top, but lately it’s been about a million degrees in Kansas City, so I’ve been opting for cooler skirts. This perfect peach maxi skirt from Forever 21 rocks my world so badly, I bought two (the other is navy). Plus, it was so cheap, it was practically begging me to purchase multiples. It’s probably supposed to be a bit longer, but I wear it up high and have longer legs, so it hits me mid calf. Whatever, I love it anyway. The top is an oldie, but a goodie from J. Crew (which I also have in peach because whenever I find something I like I buy it in every color and wear it approximately 70 zillion times until it falls apart). The cute braided bracelets are from Madewell and they are what I’m calling “Summer Camp Chic,” which is a term I just made up. The sunnies are from H&M and will probably be broken by a certain toddler by the time I post this. The shoes are two year old flip flops from Gap.

And the hair…oh the hair. It is PINK! I was going for an apricot/strawberry blonde (ala Hairdresser on Fire), but since blonde hair is fairly unpredictable when it comes to coloring, it came out pinkish. And let me tell you…I LOVE IT! Or should I say, loved it. After two washes it’s now more like what I originally envisioned (see photo here), but I have to say, I kind of miss the pink!
