Casual Friday

Happy Friday Everyone!  I hope everyone is gearing up for a fun and festive Labor Day Weekend!
I've really been into reading Fashion Blogs lately and secretly wish that I was a hot fashion blogger - but am far too un-motivated to dress that nice every single day.  So...I decided to start a series called 'Casual Fridays'  that is dedicated to at least one specialty outfit that my friends/family, other bloggers, or that I have worn during the week.

This week - the first focus is "Construction Casual" - on a construction site we take Casual Friday very seriously (every single day of the week). 

Today is "Freedom Friday" on the jobsite and it is the only day that I will actually wear a regualr t-shirt to work.  We each bought this fantastic (mens sized) red t-shirt for $25 bucks (the money goes to charity and the company matched all donations) and we wear them every friday.  It is really neat to see several people in the offices sporting these shirts on Friday!

Check out www.ourfallensoldier.com the focus of the organization is offer free web pages where each fallen hero can be remembered and to provide financial support for the loved ones left behind.   

To stick with my 'Fashion Blogger' theme...the shoes are steel-toed Keen work boots, from Cabelas, surprisingly comfy for steel toes, but hot as shit in the summer time.  Jeans are Lucky from Dillards, right now they are a little snug - luckily they are a little strectchy.  Head band is blsck sequin from Brady Bands, www.bradybands.com.  It DOES NOT SLIP and works fantastically underneath a hard hat!  (also for a great cause - check out the website)

I have a few plans for the weekend.
1.  Half Marathon Training - I have a 5 mile run on Sunday.
2.  Getting highlights - not ready to embrace the gray yet.
3.  Shopping - duh.  I am going to head to the Outlet Malls and find some basic fall pieces to update my wardrobe.
Pinterest is full of great fall outfits and ideas right now (and always).  I am loving it! 

In Search of:  a Chambray top!  I've been wanting one for a while.  Side note:  I like that it is called 'chambray' instead of denim or blue jean.  Classy use of a big word.

Above is my 'Pinspiration' that I was 'Pinspired' by...except I am not too sure about the skinnies. 
Love the top - love the scarf - love the earrings - come to mama, little cute shoes - love it all.
Ready.  Set.  Shop!

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!  Spend time doing what you love with the people you love!  See you next week!
