Fashion Friday: Back to Basics

So I’m REALLY glad you guys enjoyed yesterday’s little random Three Things Thursday post, because I REALLY enjoyed writing it and I hope that more posts about my daily life/musings will be popping up! Sometimes I “take on” so many opportunities that have come to me because of my blog – tastings, reviews, giveaways, events, what have you. I’m so very grateful and love doing it all! But it also fills up my blogging “schedule” and leaves less time to just ramble. And believe me, it feels good to ramble. Anyone who has a blog I have commented on knows I love doing that. 😉

Can I get a WHAT WHAT for FASHION FRIDAY?! Lately I’ve been going with reviews/giveaways or themes, but today I want to take us back to basics (hence the Christina Aguilera reference) and just do five outfits I haven’t shared yet. Some for work, some for play – not much difference between the two categories though, since I’m lucky enough to work in an office where engineers make the dress code. Every day is Casual Friday – I get funny looks when I “dress up”.

I’ve got quite a backlog of fashion pictures but hopefully one day I’ll get a chance to share them all with you! If you follow me on Instagram you’ll get more frequent fashion updates.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend planned. Or NOT planned, which can be the best kind! Tonight I’m using a Save Now CT deal with my friend Kelly at a new-to-me restaurant in Rocky Hill called The Angry Olive. The menu has plenty of seafood that is totally tempting me…along with a large glass of vino! Cheers!

Which outfit is your favorite?

Do you ever have a hard time balancing “fun/about me” posts with posts having to do with opportunities your blog has brought you?

What have you got planned this weekend? Nothing is a totally acceptable answer!
