Friday Fancies: St Patty's Day Special

O Friday, I am glad you are here again. Will you be celebrating St Patrick's Day? We have a few friends coming over for corned beef and cabbage and of course, some green beers. The outfit I created for Friday Fancies is almost exactly what I plan on wearing tomorrow.
 
St Pattys Day

 
1. I bought a pair of smiliar skinnies (Skinny jeans, $76) from Old Navy yesterday for $25 and I can't wait to wair them. The ON 'rockstar' skinnies come in a fantastic array of colors, but true to some other blogger reviews, they do run really small, so don't be suprised to go up a size or two if you go get yourself some.

2. Since my pants are pretty loud, I am pairing them with a basic white T like this (Precis Petite cap sleeve t shirt, £19)

3. I love the idea of pairing this outfit with a jean jacket (Rag bone jean jacket, $265) but I got rid of mine after college. I will probably wear a black cardi instead.

4. I'll be topping my St Patty's Day ensemble off with black pumps (House of Harlow 1960 black pumps, $250), some fun green earrings (Juicy Couture yellow gold stud earrings, $21), a scarf (Linen shawl, $20) and pretty mint nails (Essie nail polish, $8).
In other news, we went to the aquarium yesterday.


Just had to share.

Also,

Happy Birthday to my darling friend, Cate!

and

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend.

Your aquarium pics are beautiful!

I love those green jeans. I'm hitting up Old Navy this weekend. I got, similar, tangerine skinnies at Aerie last week and I had to go up 3 sizes. Buying those things definitely takes a hit at your body image...until you realize everyone else is in the same boat :)

Heather said...

I am so jealous that you actually own green jeans! I've used them twice in my Friday's Fancies already (including today!), but I doubt I'll ever build up the confidence to buy some. *sigh*

P.S. I'm guessing that's Monterey Bay Aquarium? How fun! I grew up less than two hours away from Monterey, so we went there for many a school trip. :)

Very cute outfit. Enjoy!

marie said...

That last picture is just remarkable. Great job!

Jessica @ O. Alouette said...

Love the skinnies and the earrings! Have a good weekend :)

Stephanie said...

I tried on the Old Navy skinnies in pink and they did not fit at all!! They were out of the size I needed (which was two full sizes bigger than my usual)! So I went to Forever 21 across the street and found some for the same price and in the right size. :)

PS - stop by and check out my Ruche Giveaway over on the blog!

Stephanie said...

I need to get to ON for some colored jeans!! Love your picks!

Jenn said...

What is Old Navy thinking??? They're supposed to mislabel jeans so that your normal size is TOO BIG, not too small. Duh. I guess I will sit around in my black yoga pants and wait on them to offer me a job as Head Of Marketing And Other Big Decisions. And when they do, I will inquire as to whether than plan on making green yoga pants anytime soon. We pregnant ladies would like to keep up with the trends too, ya know. ;)

Cute aquarium pics! Have a fun weekend!!

Susan said...

I love this whole thing!!! Love it! Enjoy the weekend Kate! (those jeans need to come home with me!)

Stephanie said...

I think I say this every time I see a pair of fabulous heels, but I wish I was just a little shorter so I wouldn't feel like such a GIANT in heels! Heels are always go pretty!

Sarah said...

I LOVE that your outfits aren't totally overwhelming with green! I love St. Patrick's Day, but I hate being all green - I guess it's just not my color! The little pop of green is such a great accessory with that jacket - LOVE it!

Hope your celebrating day was/is fabulous!!

Nicole said...
