Usually every Friday at my job, it's casual dress. I don't know if your job is like this, but mine is. Actually I wear jeans whenever I have to go to the field with my job. Try going through swamps to determine a route for a pipeline in heels and a dress! Anyway so the key item is the pair of jeans. Jeans are the easiest thing to make an outfit from. There isn't too much that Jeans don't work with
I knew I had a Happy Hour to go to after work, so I didn't want to look "too casual". I picked a light material "faux-turtleneck" top. The print on the top is pink, gray, and black. Some people try to stay clear of accessorizing if they have a heavy printed shirt. I think any printed tops work well with solid color accessories. The two work best if you match your solid color accessory to one of the colors in the print. I chose to wear the gray necklace.
Last but not least I knew for the Happy Hour that we would be sitting outside on the patio, so I added the jacket, just in case it was a little windy, and flats for comfort.
