Happy Friday! I assure you no one died and I didn't flash forward to the day after Thanksgiving or anything. Sometimes I struggle with what to wear on Fridays. I love that I can wear jeans, but I struggle with coming up with outfits that aren't boring and still are nice enough for work. So even though I'm on a color kick right now, I decided to go with this basic black shirt I bought last summer. I thought I'd end up not being terribly excited by the results, but looking at these pictures, I actually really do like this. I'm sure the accessories help a ton. I also think that it's ok to go basic black every now and again too.
Man I was tireddddd this morning when I was taking my pictures. My boss thought it would be funny yesterday to switch our regular coffee to decaf without informing me of such first. And I didn't realize it would be that huge of a deal until about halfway through the day, I could barely keep my eyes open. I have this delicate balance when it comes to caffeine too - I pretty much want one cup of coffee in the morning. I will occasionally freshen up that one cup so it ends up being more like 1 1/2 but really that is all I need. And I have to pretty much stop drinking caffeine after noon if I have any hope of falling asleep at a decent time. So, when I was falling asleep yesterday afternoon, I powered through without the caffeine. By the time I woke up this morning I was super groggy and had that lovely withdrawal headache. I stopped at my favorite coffee shop this morning and it was instant relief. I'm a human again!
Gearing up for a somewhat busy weekend. I have a happy hour after work today, then rehearsal with my music group. Tomorrow we have another golf lesson and a church gig with our music group and then hopefully Mr. Monkey and I can grab some dinner out somewhere. Sunday we are attempting to spend time with both of our mom's - doing breakfast with mine and a afternoon barbecue with his family. So it'll be a little packed, but family is important and celebrating our mommas are important too!
Do you all have exciting weekend plans? Happy Friday and Happy weekend everyone!

Happy Friday to you too! I do the same thing for my casual Fridays. You can never go wrong with a black top, jeans and flats. Your accessories really dress up your outfit. We're spending time with my mom this weekend. We'll probably do brunch and we'll be a bit spontaneous from there. Have a terrific weekend!

Very simple and so chic at the same time!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! Sometimes basic black is exactly the right thing. I love the added accessories, they do jazz things up.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I think I would have screamed at someone if they switched my coffee. I don't consume a lot of caffeine, but I need my one-caffeine-drink-a-day or I am a miserable person. Usually I drink caffeine-free coke and reserve my drink a day for coffee or a regular soda while out, but man! that's almost as bad as someone giving me diet (I have extremely bad reactions to sugar substitutes).
It was NOT pretty. I thought it tasted odd when I was drinking it and then after I had finished she's like, bet you couldn't even tell that was decaf. Um, YES I COULD!!!
Deletei love your necklace! and as much as i love color, i always revert to black when i can't decide on an outfit! have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteDecaf?! That is evil. Anyway - nothing wrong with doing the Johnny Cash thing every so often in all black. Your accessories DO make it interesting! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think that counts as employee abuse, ha ha! What an awful thing to do!
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome - love this classy version of Casual Friday on you, Beth!
Switching your coffee was a low blow. Of course your body will react.
ReplyDeleteI like the black top. Its design fits you so well.
Black is not boring when it fits you that well! I love that shirt on you!
ReplyDeleteCoffee is important! It is NOT COOL to give decaf! I need my 12oz in the morning or I not only suffer from headaches but total loss of personality. And sometimes kindness. Glad you got your fix!

The accessories do add a lot to this outfit. Good choices. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun filled weekend!
Hey Bethie! You look totally slinky and lovely in this outfit! Your weekend sounds good! I also had a rehearsal with church music group (which I was late for as I have a serious case of the coughs so I wasn't going to go!). Had a lazy morning with washing, then nipped some clothes into a charity-shop (and bought 2 things) and then went to my Mum's! Went for a short cycle (only about 10miles) and were going to go lindyhopping but decided it was too late! So now monging around whilst CBC cooks dinner!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good weekend to me - minus the cough! :)
DeleteAnd the coffee thing was crueeeeeeeeeeeeeel!
ReplyDeleteI love how that necklace totally jazzes up that tee and jeans--what a cute look! I hope you had a nice weekend with your family!
ReplyDeleteLove how the black top and silver accessories took the look from casual to chic! Drinking coffee gives me a headache so I'm a wake-up naturally kind of gal- sometimes it takes me much longer than it should! Sounds like a busy bee weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love this classic look! Your boss is mean for switching you to decaf! Ugh! I would probably cry if that were me, lol.
ReplyDeleteLove this basic, classic look! That necklace really spices it up :)
ReplyDeleteIs your boss insane? :P
ReplyDeleteLove the trouser jeans and long chain.
