Friday Fancies: Birthday-Gameday- Festive-Fall Chic

Yep, you read the title right, this week's Friday Fancies is a whole lot of events wrapped in one. {av}'s prompt was to create an outfit which celebrated fall (hence the Festive) but tomorrow is also game day (Go Auburn, Beat Flordia!) and my birthday (28, gah!), so I wanted to create something I could be ready for all 3 events in. I started with orange and blue for game day, nail polish from Essie's new fall line and a gold leaf cuff for being festive and some leopard pumps for partying it up for my continued venture into the late 20s. I'm loving this whole look!
earrings, dress, cuff, shoes, nail polish
What's your favorite way to celebrate your birthday? I'm excited that mine is on a Saturday this year so my boys and I can all spend the day together. I'm going to sneak out Saturday morning for a massage then spend the rest of the day watching football and hanging with my sweet little family. Sounds perfect to me.

Thanks to {Long Distance Loving} for the link up! Have a great weekend!

PS- I've recruited my friend Martha to Friday Fancies- it is her first one so be sure to pop over to Heart of a Fighter and tell her hi!

Happy Birthday to YOU! I think your day sounds fabulous! My B-day is in November. Maybe I need to take your lead and get a massage too! I've been supah stressed and I'm feeling it in my neck and shoulders like cray cray. I LOVE the outfit as well! I think blue and orange are kind of fun together and to throw in leopard print-loves it! I'm currently rocking Bordeaux from Essie's fall line. Their polish is fab!

Those shoes are fabulous. In Italy last week I bought a black silky blouse that hangs down low in the back with a criss-cross. Very Italian... and rather sexy, I might add! (It felt good to buy it).
