Awhile ago when I asked the question “what do you guys want to see more of on the blog?” I got a lot of responses asking to see what I wear when I dress down. This is pretty much my go-to fall/winter “dress down” outfit. I usually still like to wear some sort of heel, but of course it’s one I can walk for in hours and hours.
With that said, I decided to start a “Dress Down Friday” series which will showcase more casual outfits, because trust me, I do have plenty of those days! Is that something you would want to see on a weekly (or biweekly) basis?

Great Idea!!!….I love all your outfits but i've always wandered about your casual ones..if you even had any of those…lol…I vote for weekly!

I really want some pants like that, but when I tried some on, they always had that weird crotch crease. I guess all the leather-like pants do that though.
