So when I think of “dressing down” at work, I immediately think of my favorite pair of yoga pants jeans. Nothing says Casual Friday better than jeans, so that was the item I chose for the final day of the Five Days Five Ways link up!
Lately, my favorite go-to pair of jeans is from American Eagle. They are low rise skinny jeans and they have a ton of stretch to them, which I am a HUGE fan of! I also have some jeans with a little flair from AE that I wear from time to time.
I tried to choose some more bright/pastel looks in honor of spring so here goes!
Sweater: Target
Top: Old Navy
Boots: Aldo
Cardigan: J. Crew Factory
Tee: Target
Flats: Target
Worn here.

Which look do you like best?
I really enjoyed the link-up this week…really challenged me to rework the items in my closet! Thanks to Fran and Whitney for putting it together!
Want to see a recap of the 5D5W looks I put together? Here is the full week: tops, pants, accessories and dresses!

PS- one thing you should know about me is that I LOVE a good jumping photo. With that said, Happy Friday!!!!
(I must say, I was impressed with how this photo turned out…I took this photo by myself with a self-timer…thank goodness no one saw me doing this.)

Thanks Heather! Yeah this was a great link up this week- I had fun putting outfits together! Happy Friday to you!!
Wow! I love all of these!!!
Thanks Emily! I’m loving the bright/pastel colors for spring right now- so fun!
Every time I see someone wearing AE jeans, I want to try them on. But then I do and they just don’t look as good on me as they do on other people! Yours looks amazing on you, though, so maybe I’ll try again.
They have several different styles so hopefully you can find a fit that you like- I love them because they give enough room for my big ol soccer thighs haha! Thanks Erin…Happy Friday!
This is exactly how I feel about AE jeans, too! A friend of mine who used to work for AE said that one season, they just sold last season’s men’s cut as the new women’s cut. I haven’t bought jeans there since. Every time I try, I go into the store and am intimidated by the trendy teenagers. Then I say loud things like “Well, at least I can drink alcohol legally and live with my boyfriend!!”
Anyway, I love all these looks, but I think it’s a toss-up between the green sweater+purple shirt combination and the gray sweater with the small stripes. I should find something in my wardrobe that mimics these looks and wear it to campus because in grad school, every day is casual Friday, hurray!
That is wild! Yeah I feel really old walking in there sometimes…so many teeny boppers hanging around- I would totally say something like that- HAHA! I miss college campuses so much- I’d rock yoga pants every day for sure…siiigh, until then I will just have to embrace Casual Fridays!
Lovely post, cool and casual!
Hope you have a great day!

Thanks Kelly- glad you liked! Happy Friday!
Thanks Kelly- have a great weekend!
Great jumping photo! I always make the stupidest faces when I try action shots. I love all the bright colors in your 5 ways! Hooray for spring!
Thanks Andi! I was stunned when I saw this photo..I usually have a weird face goin on, or I don’t get much air time, but this was a good one! Yay for Spring indeed- thanks for reading!
Love how you made all your looks so different! AND so spring-y. It was freezing this past week, but now that we are on Spring Break, we are ready for spring weather! Hallelujah! Found you through Friday Fancies 🙂

Thanks for reading Kim! Yes, I am so excited for spring and the warm weather that it brings- woo hoo!
Loving #2 and #5 also love that necklace in #3. Super cute pic … I would probably have fell or hit the wall or something clumsy and THAT would be the pic … LOL
Have a fab weekend!

Thanks Shia! Yeah it was risky but the shot turned out- phew! I love that necklace too!! Have a great weekend!
The middle look is my favorite! I love gray with that gorgeous shade of pink/coral! Cute jumping picture, too! I contemplated a jumping picture for my casual Friday post but just knew it would not turn out well with the self-timer, so I have a goofy sassy pose instead 🙂

Yeah it’s such a comfortable outfit and I love a good teardrop necklace! You gotta give a jumping photo a try…even an outtake photo would be fun to share! 🙂

You are so cute! Love a good jumping picture ( you are obviously so much better at it than I am). I’m so glad you participated this week! loved seeing your style – I feel we have a lot in common in our closets!
Oh I love a good jumping photo (in fact, it was a requirement at my wedding HA!) This linkup was awesome- I had a fun time remixing items in my closet! It seems like we definitely do have some items in common..like that Old Navy striped dress- LOVE!
