Friday's Fancies: 10.21.2011

In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, this week's Friday's Fancies is dedicated to PINK!  I built my outfit today around the combination of pink cuffed trousers and a fun polka dotted blouse.  Here's an important tip: Layering and the use of a variety of fabrics (and colors) will make your outfit more eye-catching.  This look features the silk blouse on top but then I added another layer in the form of the faux fur vest - just a little addition to make the look more interesting.

Next, add a few tasteful accessories (aren't the loafers awesome?) and you've got a luxurious (and playful!) look!

Friday's Fancies: 10.14.2011

Hello lovelies!  We've finally reached the end of the week, and alas, another Friday's Fancies.  This week I put together a fall-inspired look filled with rich browns, oranges, and purples.  I love the look of a flowy mid-length skirt + knee high boots, especially in this fall color palate.  This floral skirt below is sold out, but I want you to understand the idea behind this skirt so you can spot one and understand the value in it. This type of skirt could be dressed up, but it could also be worn more casually (think ballet flats) and will work with a variety of different tops because of all of the gorgeous colors in the skirt.  The J. Crew coat is a splurge item, but if it is well taken care of, the coat will last (and be in style) for many, many years.

Friday's Fancies - 10.07.2011

Since we're at the onset of Fall, blazers are a very pertinent item of clothing.  They are perfect for days where the temperature is fluctuating because they're easy to layer and take off or put on when the temperature dictates.  This week, I've featured mostly casual looks, so I decided to dress things up today to give you some inspiration for your weekend.  If it's already cool where you are, throw in a pair of black tights with this look to warm your legs, but this would also look perfect with bare legs!  Today marks the first Friday that I am linking up to {AV} of Long Distance Loving's Friday's Fancies!  This week the subject matter of choice was blazers!
