Dress DOWN Friday Turned UP!!

Just b/c the word "down" is included in the term doesn't mean you have to (or should) take it literal when it comes to Friday attire at work.  My whole philosophy about Dress Down Friday (and work in general) is that I don't have a choice about whether or not I have to go to work (somebody's gotta pay the bill; momma needs a new pair of shoes; babies need to eat...and all that); but I do have a choice about what I wear while working (to some degree). Since I love clothes and fashion, and a great outfit always make me feel warm and fuzzy inside, there is no better time than dress down Friday at work to utilize clothes to turn me all the way UP!

*By the way I just saw this pic of Keri Hilson online today right before I drafted this post, courtesy of Concreteloop.com, and it looks like she and I were sort of on the same page today with the white blazers, button up dress shirts, and jeans.  :-) Go Keri! You look hawwtt, but of course! LOL.

You see how quickly this whole thing is positively impacting my day??? I'm so happy about this outfit that I'm laughing for no good reason (ok, again I'm being dramatic...but it's fun that way)!! So, I have to say that there is nothing like a bright, crisp, tailored white blazer to clean your look up and pull it all the way together! I can wear this thing with just about anything...including a bright white tank (which is a staple for me).  I got this blazer from ASOS as part of their ASOS Black collection (I don't shop there any longer b/c they have the worse customer service on the planet but that's another post for another day).  I love the asymmetric cut on the side of the jacket (see pic below) and the fact that it's collarless b/c those little details add that little bit of creativeness that I seem to need in my life! It's always a little tricky when wearing starch white pieces with other colors and patterns, but I say go for it! How do/would you honeeyz rock a white blazer??  What are your personal pet peeves and "rules" for dress down Fridays? 

C-ya until next time honeeyz!!!
