Fashionista Friday

Happy Friday, everyone!

Have the last two weeks been as busy for you as they have been for me? I feel like my social calendar, family calendar, and work schedules have all erupted into mass chaos. Thanks to my hectic agenda, my house looks like a hurricane recently passed through and I’m not entirely sure I ate breakfast this morning (that is saying something since I very rarely forget a meal).

Despite my lack of self-awareness and the explosion of mess in my kitchen, I am thrilled that today is Friday. The weekend is almost here and I am ready for some good old-fashioned R&R. I am looking forward to sleeping in past 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, making animal shaped pancakes for my cute kidlet, hitting up a yoga class, and getting my house back in order. I also plan to peruse a few of the magazines that I got in the mail over the last few weeks. After all, I can’t get behind on my Kardashian drama and Vogue cover models. First world problems, right?

Before I get to the relaxing events of the glorious weekend, I have to get through Friday. For many of us, Friday is a casual day around the office and *gasp* jeans are permitted! We all know how much I love my deconstructed denim, but my office seems to frown upon the “worn in” look. Believe me, I too am surprised by this.

In honor of my professional workplace, today’s post is all about fashionista Friday and the professional way to wear denim at the office.

My favorite look is a great structured blazer with a little interest. Check out this amazing cross-back blazer by Sam Edelman. Pair it with a great drapey top like this Vince Camuto faux wrap shirttail blouse. You want something that will peek out from below the criss-cross of the blazer. Finally, pair it with a great pair of Madewell skinny jeans and some awesome heels with a little splash of color.

Enjoy!

Fashionably yours,

The Good Girl Who Went Broke

Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day

Style this fun blazer with a black pencil skirt or fitted dress for a day at the office or pair it with a sequined mini and a fun tank for a night out. The blazer comes in two colors, ivory and pink. The airy structure and light weight fabric make this piece both comfortable and functional. 

For $25, you might consider grabbing one in both colors!

Happy shopping, fashionable friends!

You’re always seeing celebs in great blazers that dress up or polish any look they choose to throw on. For example, add a little professional edge to a bohemian get up just like Jessica Alba always does. Or maybe dress up some deconstructed denim by adding the balancing structure of a blazer. Whatever your style is, there is a place for a great blazer.

Although blazer styles are as vast as the sea is wide, it’s a good idea to pick a few you like and mix it up a little now and then. This blazer is an amazing snag for just $53 on Asos. It doesn’t have wide lapels which means it’s easy to dress up OR down. The more open front will also leave long jewelry a bit of room to take the spotlight and it will also give a cute printed blouse a chance to shine a bit more than it would if there were a wider caller. The length is perfect and the sizing comes in both petite and regular. The linen blend will ensure that you don’t overheat when you’ve got on several layers and the neckline would be adorable with a colorful scarf. All in all, this one is a winner, folks.

Happy shopping, fashionable friends!

Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day

Today’s Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day is one of my absolute FAVORITE outfit combinations. Pair the feature pieces with some deconstructed denim, some shorts or even a great pencil skirt and you’re good to go! 

These are basics that transcend time and complete any wardrobe. The best part…you can get both pieces for much less than $100 AND pay NOTHING for shipping! Fashion win? I think so.
