A Casual Friday Outfit

I hope everyone is enjoying your holiday weekend. For the first time in years, I didn’t go shopping on Black Friday. After the crazy experience we had last year, we decided it just wasn't worth it. Also, my sister just got a part-time job while finishing up college so she had to work on BF. I hope you scored some great deals.

Just a quick post today to share with you an outfit I wore last Friday. Both pieces were my recent purchases. The Gap lightweight corduroy leggings fit me perfectly with no alterations. They’re super comfy and I love the color. It’s a nice little pop of color to Fall browns and blacks. As for the blouse, it was a tad wide and boxy on me but doable. I believe this blouse is currently on sale in store for $14.99.



What I am wearing:
Blouse
: GAP contrast piping houndstooth blouse - XS
Leggings: GAP lightweight corduroy leggings - 24/00R
Shoes: Ann Taylor perfect leather pump
Belt: Ann Taylor perfect skinny belt - XS
Pearl: J.Crew glass pearl (buy longer length)
Watch: Michael Kors 5128 in rose gold



Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Sydney

Your aubergine Gap leggings were a "recent purchase"? How recent? Because they were sold out like EVERYWHERE six weeks ago. I only got it because ShortieK sold hers! Lucky you! :)

Those leggings fit you so nicely! I love that color you chose, too! Reminds me of something Kelly would like, too! I agree with Annie...these make your legs look great!

Glad Friday was relaxing! My husband had to work that day, too! :( I stayed home and cleaned the house. :)

love the casual outfit, Sydney! i hope how those pants fit you and the belt is a perfect match. i did go shopping at the mall. it was madness and the deals were just okay. i bought a few items bc they were "on sale". now i'm having second thoughts. lol

@CynthiaC Cynthia, I got these pants last weekend. I am lucky that my local store always has small sizes in stock =)

I visited Gap on Thursday before the madness began but couldn't find cord skinnies that fit me in a color I like. Is there much difference between size 24 and 25? I tried on both and was surprised to see it fit me as I would have instinctlvely grabbed size 27. I did, however, find that blouse in the darker peachy-taupe for the same price in Canada.

@Canadianpetite There isn't much difference between size 24 and size 25. However, GAP jeans tend to stretch out over time. I would stick with the smaller size =)

I love these pants on you Syd! beautiful color.

I also saw this shirt in the purple version, but slightly too big for me. thanks again for sharing that link to get $5 off @ GAP.

Just saw your tweet on these awesome leggings. Can't believe they are only $6-$12, must check them out. Although I have pretty stubby legs, not sure if it would look good on me.

Twins on the blouse, I bought all 3 colors - white, beige, purple. I think it came out to $11 for me since I had a coupon but great deal for the the both of us nonetheless!
