It’s finally Wednesday! After two short work weeks, this week seems to be moving at a snail’s pace. Short work weeks also mean Wednesdays become casual workdays for me. Last Wednesday, I headed to the office in black skinny jeans and this fabulous Everly tunic. For casual work days, I follow a few rules for myself. One – no ripped or faded jeans. Two – No thin straps. Three – Something comfortable! Friday is one of my busiest days of the work week, so number three is important for me. A flowy blouse fits the bill perfectly. I love this one I purchased from Threadsence last year. It has really cool leather detailing, which is perfect for a little office to happy hour casual Friday look. Unfortunately, it is no longer available, but I did find a dress version at a small online boutique that would look awesome with leggings. Of course, I live in these Lucky Brand skinny jeans. I like wearing my black skinny jeans to work because they kind of look like work pants from a distance, a little casual deception. If I am not wearing these on a casual workday, I usually pick another super dark denim pair. I think the darker colors still look professional for the office setting. I topped off my casual workday look with one of my favorite gold jewelry designers, Gorjana. You have probably noticed most of my gold jewelry comes from her, and I added a few new pieces over the holidays! Her jewelry is great quality and so beautiful in person. Her site even gives you tips on the perfect way to layer her necklaces! Today may not be a casual workday, but it is the half way mark! Happy hump day everyone!

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2015! I am looking forward to all the exciting things this year has in store for both my blog and me. I am hoping you will continue joining me on this fabulous fashion journey into this new year! At the bottom of this post are the various ways to follow Lady in Violet in social media and to subscribe to new posts via email. I have some fun and fabulous things already in the works for this year and cannot wait to start sharing them with you!
With the start of the new year comes some fabulous and amazing sales! The Armani Exchange jacket in today’s post was purchased several years ago while venturing through the Houston Galleria to take advantage of some end of the year sales. Even on sale, it was a splurge for a fresh out of college woman, but it was worth it. I love the soft velvet of this jacket, and have linked some current finds in the links above. As someone who likes to break the office style mold, a bright colorful blazer is the perfect way to break up the black suit routine. The velvet material is perfect for holiday parties and winter bridal and baby showers. It also is perfect for a work to happy hour look. This outfit also looks amazing with a few strands of long pearls. This outfit and I are ready to conquer another fabulous year!

As you have probably figured out from my posts this week, I did a little traveling last week. Typically when I travel, I prefer to fly out immediately after work. It is something about waking up in my destination that I love. So what I wore to work that day must also be comfortable enough for me to fly in. I have previously raved about how this swing dress is incredibly comfortable! It also is a good casual work dress, so it is perfect for my work/airport transition. I love how loose and flowy it is. I can put my knees up and wrap my whole body in it if I am cold on the flight or want to sit in a new postion. Also, it has pockets, SOLD!
My other must have for flying is comfortable shoes that easily slip on and off for the security checkpoint and sometimes while on long flights. I am so in love with these Naughty Monkey booties! As soon as I saw them on Instagram, I knew I had to have them. They are super cute and really comfortable! I do not think I have ever recieved more compliments on a pair of shoes from such a variety of people than these booties. I was stopped by men and women of all ages who just wanted to say they liked my shoes. They have a semi-low chunky heel, so it was easy to walk across the airport lugging my carry-on bag. Bonus, after wearing them from 8am-12am, they were still comfortable. I can’t wait to pair these booties with shorts this spring and skinny jeans this winter!
