Casual Friday... Casual Workplace

Casual Friday has got me in a Tizzy.
In fact, many outfits people choose to wear to work every day have me in a Tizzy.
Perhaps it's because I've been watching my way through seasons of 'Mad Men' as of late, but in my opinion, the workplace is supposed to exude professionalism and a certain air of formality.  I realize I may be behind on the times.  I realize that "causal" is the new norm for most Americans.  But, when did this happen?  Why did this happen?  Am I the only one who's in a Tizzy?
I favor pastel suits and hats at church to jeans and shorts;  I favor tailored suits over rayon dresses;  I favor any other shoe choice over flip flops.
I guess I may be alone.
But in my high hopes that perhaps one person reads this and feels the same way, let's embrace on this Saturday Morning a more professional and formal way to wear denim... and at least give a little to this American insistence on "casual-ism." (at all price points)

Loving this because of the dark wash, mid-rise, and straight leg.  Looks great on Many Shapes and Sizes


Gap's Curvy Jeans (in over-dyed black wash) $59.50
Loving this for curvy body shapes.  Love this wash because it's almost trouser-like.
Loving this for the low price-tag.



Banana Republic Trouser Dark Wash Jean $89.50
Love this because it fits like a Trouser and is in a dark, professional wash.

Seven for All Mankind Standard Pleated Trousers in a Dark Wash $189
Loving this because it's fashion-forward, but has a classic touch.  Great wash.
