Passionate Fashion - First Day Back

This is what I decided to wear on my first day back to work. It took me a little thought to decide what to wear. Some things I kept in mind where that I was starting on a Friday in a casual Friday office. This threw me as I am keen on wearing jeans when I am able to, but the thought of walking into my new office on the first day in jeans just threw me. I also kept in mind that I wasn't exactly sure what to expect for my first day.
The main reason for my outfits were that I wanted to feel confident, ready for anything, but still be professional and approachable in a semi casual environment.

Did I hit the mark?

I like to be dressed nice but I do not like to be over dressed. It makes me feel on edge like people are judging me or that I am trying to hard.





I love these khaki trousers. They are a step above khakis because of their felt/suede like fabric. They are a gorgeous deep shade of khaki which I find a bit more flattering for me. They are a super long length which is conducive to dressy heels.

I was a bit worried about wearing these heels for the first time on my first day but they worked out fine. I was on and off my feet for most of the day and the shoes held up pretty well comfort wise. I think a thinner sock might make them darn near perfect.
