Fridays in my office are dress down day or casual Friday as some may know it. I tend to not dress up for work on a Friday as I start so early I like to just roll out of bed and onto the train (I happen to live 2 seconds from the train station). I also don't work in the most fashion forward of organisations, best way I can describe it is that it's very 'old school'. Of course that's not to say there aren't some very stylish and utterly delectable hot young thangs that I work with - you know who you are ;)
So on a Friday I usually opt for something a little boring or on the plain side, mostly to avoid odd looks, comments or intense questioning over my choice of attire.
Friday past, I decided to wear a new top to work since I had to go into town straight after for an eye test. I bought it in
COS last week in the dregs of their sale ... which might I add still happens to have some amazing stuff on offer. I like the leather look stripe detailing on this top, it makes it a little more edgy than casual and means it would look equally fabulous dressed up.
For this very reason I also kept this top on to go to the
IMAX cinema to see
Tron in 3D later in the evening.
Tron, which I loved by the way - mostly for nostalgic reasons - and couldn't help beaming cheek to cheek when
Daft Punk appeared on the screen in their cameo role. Love
Daft Punk and love the soundtrack to this movie.

| Top:COS; Jeans: Primark; Wedge Boots: Dune |
I teamed my COS top with a very kicked in and tired looking pair of black skinnies from
Primark. These jeans look fabulous when new but with any pair of jeans you buy for £8 the quality is never going to be good enough to keep them looking pristine for long. In saying that I have had these for ages and I wear them a lot.
I stuck to my
Dune wedge boots which I am getting a lot of wear out of since I bought them... although I can't wait until the weather perks up so I can wear some of my nicer and brighter shoes.
I accessorised the top with my Links of London friendship bracelet, my new
braid bracelet,
braided cord bracelet and my fabulous
armour ring from
Ydeltuyt. The armour ring is amazing and I think it looks a lot more expensive than it's price tag. I blogged about
Ydeltuyt not long ago
here, but I am still obsessing over most things on the website and I am waiting until payday to get more of the chain bracelets as they are fantastic.
Hair was quiffed pretty high i must say. I actually rolled my hair under like it had been set in a roller ... a little bit 1950s style. My husband couldn't stop staring at it all night ... it was my 'Something about Mary' moment ;)
What do you wear on Casual Friday?
