Casual Friday + Moments of the Week

Do you own a pair of jeans? 
This week, I'm sharing three different looks for Casual Friday each featuring jeans.  


Super Casual:


Casual:




Dressy Casual:



Which is your favorite?

And now...because I lead the most interesting life ever <insert just a tad of sarcasm>: 

MY MOMENTS OF THE WEEK:

"Maybe He's Right?" Moment: 1st grade boy sits in my office for a counseling session.  But before I can say anything, he starts to look me up and down.  And then with this look of pure judgement dripping off his face he asks, "Are you wearing pajamas or are those your normal clothes?"


I had worn a dress that day that I thought was kinda cute...guess not!

"I Love Kids" Moment:  5th grade boy comes to a session with me and is immediately squirmy.  I don't think much of it.  10 minutes in and on a whim I ask, "Do you have to go to the bathroom?"  He replies yes and gets up and races out of the room.  Five minutes later he returns.  "Why didn't you go before you came to meet with me?" I ask.  His reply?  "Because I wanted to get here as fast as I could to see you."
Umm, sweetest comment of the day winner!! (Sorry husband)


"Uh Oh" Moment: So it snowed about 6 inches the other night.  I have a little sportscar that is about as inappropriate as it gets for Colorado weather.  
Picture Marion getting into sportscar, determined to get to work.
Picture Marion pulling out into the street.
Picture Marion trying to stop at the first intersection and begin 360 turn.
Some people think this is okay to drive in 
(I'm talking to YOU Mr. School District Superintendent!)

As I'm turning, all I'm thinking is "oh no bueno."  Then I hear hear this guy who stopped walking his dog to watch me shout loudly, "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!"  Needless to say it was a little dramatic and annoying.  I gave him the stink-eye before drifting to the curb.


It Works Moment: This kindergarten student LOVES ranch dressing.  He is a pudgy little fellow and eats ranch by the gallon at lunch.  My intervention for his behavior issues?  Withhold the ranch!   And guess what?  It works!!  Yay me!  


I Love You Moment: Tonight I talked with a dear girlfriend whom I love and who is going through a difficult time.  I live so far away and as we talked, I felt my heart yearning to be close to her.  Sometimes love between friends is as strong as anything I've ever felt.


So which outfit would you wear?  Any moments this week worth sharing?


XO and THANK YOU for reading,
Marion

loveeee the second one! and haha very funny moments..kids these days.. :)

ChiChi said...

I love the second outfit...and your "moments" are WAY more interesting than anything going on in my life! And that guy yelling "whoa"...omg...punch in the face. Like you were all "oh! I didn't realize that I was in trouble on ice until you started yelling WHOA!! Thank you so much! That series of Whoa's was super insightful and totally helpful!" I'm a California girl living in a New Jersey world...So I don't even enter a car if it's snowing. It terrifies me! So pat on your back for being brave to just step on the gas!

Kelly said...

Your moments rock! Thanks for sharing. The second one with the bathroom kid is so cute :)

I really love all of your outfits but I think #s 1 & 2 are my favs!

Elaine A (TOBeautyReviews) said...

awww love these little moments! Makes me remember to stop and reflect! Life moves waaay too fast!

My favorite outfit is the casual followed by dressy casual but I wouldn't be able to walk in those heels for more than a few minutes :P

Fashion By Alicia said...

I think the middle look is my favorite!! Love your comments of the week!!

Tam said...

Look #2 could have come from my closet! It's exactly what I would wear for a casual day. I own way too many jeans, and I am actually wearing some Current/Elliott skinnies to work today.

Love your moments--I am a Denverite, too! So fun to find another Denver blogger.

Hello, Framboise!

Marionberry Style said...

@ everyone - Looks like #2 is the winner! :-)
And I'm so glad (relieved?) that my "moments of the week" don't bore everyone! haha!

@Tam - Yay! So excited to meet another Denver blogger! I'm somewhat new to Denver and have been searching for other style/fashion bloggers, without much luck.

XO - Marion
