Friday Party

Today marks the 100th link party for {av's} Friday Fancies and I knew I had to join the party. About a year ago, I stumbled upon this link up and it changed my blogging experience. Before this, I didn't understand that a link up really did grow your blog, help find like-minded bloggers and potentially form long-lasting friendships. Now, a year later at almost 300 followers (see that 298 over there-->, you know you want to round it up, don't you?), I embraced how amazing the blogging community is and I have {av} to thank for that. 

It only seems right that I participate in the Friday Fancies Party this  week. Here is what I would wear to celebrate {av} and all our blogger friends.

FF 100 by kklarrabee featuring plastic jewelry
1. How beautiful is this BARBARELLA gold party dress, $160. I definitely think it is something I could wear again and again.

2. As the weather gets cooler, a pretty trench is also essential and this Wallis black coat does the job.

3. I don't think I really need to explain these Steve Madden pointy toe shoes 

4. Finally, let's top this look off with a pretty Statement necklace, $43, some earrings, Plastic jewelry, and a toast  Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo Champagne Flute, Set of 4.

                                               Congrats {av} to 100 weeks of style!

Bennett is excited for us too.

 Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Friday Fancies: Chambray Love

Happy Friday, y'all. Thanks for all your awesome comments on yesterday's goals. It was so interesting to hear what you have planned for your future.

 

Now, on to some Friday Fancies.

 

Have you hopped on board with the chambray shirt? I did last fall and rock my shirt with my green skinnies, colored shorts or a khaki skirt. It is a great, easy look that still looks put together and chic. But since Friday Fancies is all about what we dream of wearing, I decided to show you an outfit with chambray that I am by no means cool enough to wear, but wish I could.

 

 J Crew crew shirt,  (Vero Moda lace shorts, £22  Banana Republic platform shoes, $120 Wallis shopper handbag, $35

Stella dot jewelry, $49 Chandelier jewelry, $13 Forever 21 fedora hat, $13

Let's chat about things in this outfit I am not cool enough for:

1. Clothes by j.crew. I can't afford them (since my goal is to not go back to work, I'm shopping at Old Navy these days).
2. Lace Shorts. These are so pretty and feminine. I wish I was comfortable in shorts, but my two-kids-later thighs are not happy showing off this part of my body.
3. A fedora. I look silly in hats, for real.

Be sure to check out the other Fancies at Long Distnace Loving.

What are you up to this weekend? We have a joint birthday party for the boys this afternoon (Bennett's bday in June 5th) and don't have else specific after that. But you can be sure that there will be some cute pictures on Monday.
