Happy Friday, gang! Can you believe it’s the last Friday in April. Yep, next Friday is Cinco de Mayo! I cannot believe how quickly this year is flying by! I’m actually headed to Isla de Mujeres, Mexico, next Friday. I was invited to the launch of She’s the World luxury guided vacations with a focus on solo female travelers. I will have lots more information in the weeks to come but I’ve chatted with founder and CEO, Heather, who has over twenty years of travel experience. I’m quite impressed with her credentials! But even more so since She’s the World helps solo travelers see, explore and experience the world. Just what the Dr. ordered for this girl!
Of course, Oscar is here for his weekly gig and Ollie is making a cameo appearance. Kelly whipped up a delicious caprese pasta salad that’s perfect for entertaining or to bring to a pot luck. And I put together a Southside cocktail that’s an oldie but goodie!

Casual Chic Outfits for the Weekend
1. Striped Polo
(J.McLaughlin)
Since Fridays are always about casual chic Kelly (petite 0, 5’0″) and I (regular 8, 5’8″) chose outfits perfect for the weekend. I’m feeling nauti today, so I slipped into a striped polo from J.McLaughlin, white denim (I cut the hem with a pair of scissors for a frayed hem) from Talbots and Jack Rogers sandals.

Hi Beth, Kelly, Oscar and Ollie. Cute outfits displayed on your 4 season porch. I have a question for you. Why do sometimes you wear a belt and other times you do not as in today’s blog?
I always wear a belt when I tuck in a top. I think it looks more polished an put together. Have a great day!
Hi Sherry,
I wear belts every chance I get, but sometimes with a casual outfit, it’s just not necessary since I’m going for casual chic. That’s when I rely on a half tuck or French tuck for visual interest.
Hope this helps!
Love your Friday posts! Oscar looks like he’s smiling! Thanks — great outfits and recipe and cocktail. I just saw I missed your post yesterday with my fave retailer, so need to hop on it.
And they’re having their Friends & Family Sale! Great time to shop!
Happy Friday!
Love these outfits. As I am retired I love inspiration for casual outfits as this is what I am in most of the time. I still am drawn to dressier looks so have to keep reminding myself about what fits in to my lifestyle. Thanks for the inspiration
Lives are definitely more casual these days, but there are still many occasions when we get to bring
our style up a notch. Happy weekend!
Hi Beth, Kelly, puppy, and kitty. You look wonderful today. I will try the caprese salad. Thanks for the recipe.
You will love this pasta salad, Rory! Happy weekend!
Great Fridays With Oscar post! Love white, nautical, linen. Especially love the idea of giving jeans a frayed hem! Is it easy-peasy? Hugs to you and Kelly…pats to Oscar and Ollie. Happy Weekend!
It’s easy to do at home. I’ll share a tutorial soon! Happy weekend, Sylvia!
