In this March 2014 piece on How to Wear Weekend Pieces on Casual Fridays, Bridgette shows us how to work a denim skirt, with a weekend outfit on the left and a casual Friday outfit on the right. Red top and striped blazer with a nice (not too short) denim skirt is a good combination.

My version incorporates my incredibly bold striped knit blazer and teal ballet flats. Bridgette is a big fan of green for a pop of color, but I still don't have any kelly green shoes (and I don't do colored purses)--I tend to gravitate toward a blue-green/teal color instead.
Red mixed media top (Nordstrom), $4.59/wear
Denim skirt (thrifted, Great Northwest Indigo), $0.36/wear
Black and white striped blazer (Nordstrom), $5.06/wear
Bright teal flats (Payless), $0.81/wear
Aqua/red fan necklace (Target), $1.32/wear
And of course I can't help adding a statement necklace to bring the shoes and top into greater coherence. It's how I roll, casual Friday or no.
Note: Despite the Hamburglar reference, I am not going to steal your french fries...or at least not very many. French fries (being potato-based) are among the highest oxalate foods there are. 4 ounces of french fries (113 g, a McDonald's medium fries) contains 51 mg of oxalate--my entire daily ration!
If you're talking about a starkly graphic black-and-white pattern, you can't not mention the black broken mini rex. With his short, springy, standing-up-straight fur, the black and white patches are very distinct, without the bleed-over effect of the black onto the white that rabbits with longer fur that lays flat against the body can exhibit.

In other news...About half a dozen times today, I thought it was Monday instead of Friday--I guess having had a sick day yesterday, going back to work today felt like starting a new week. I even had a momentary confusion about it just now, when I should be luxuriating in the weekend.
Or as close to luxuriating as it gets when your sinuses are making you a bit miserable. I felt halfway decent at work today, but I think I used up most of my capacity for activity, even where "activity" is "sitting up in an office chair at a computer." I think it's time for me to go lounge a while. #Fridayflop
