Friday's Fancies

Chunky White Sweater, Navy V-Neck, Red Capris, Striped Purse, Anchor Necklace, Metallic Boat 

I'm totally obsessed with red, white, and blue clothing so I'm super excited that this week's theme on Friday's Fancies is Labor Day Chic. I might have gone a bit overboard with the Americana/nautical idea but I am just dying to rock this look. Red skinny capris with a loose t-shirt and a chunky grandpa sweater is my idea of comfy chic. And when you pair it with a fab bag, metallic boat shoes, and a cute little anchor pendant, does it get any better? I'll probably end up spending Labor Day addressing wedding invites but I'll be dreaming that I'm on a sail boat off the coast of Martha's Vineyard with the wind in my hair wearing this outfit. 

Friday's Fancies: Maximized

So I'm doing my first ever link-up tonight! I decided to jump on the linky bandwagon by  linking up with Friday's Fancies on Long Distance Loving.  Every Friday there is a different outfit theme.  So fun!  It's like shopping but without the guilt!  This weeks theme is maxi skirts/dresses.  

Skirt: I happen to completely adore this skirt.  But Erik was sitting next to me while I blogged this, and when he saw the skirt he said, "do you really like that?" with this super sarcastic tone. Yes, I do REALLY like it.  It's lovely and flowey.  And it makes me wish I was sipping a virgin margarita on a beach in Mexico somewhere.  And it's by Alice + Olivia which is perfect because the designer, Stacey Bendet, just happened to be a guest judge on Project Runway last night!

Shirt: I love a super basic tee with an over-the-top skirt.

Necklace: I also love a long gold necklace over a basic black tee.  

Shoes: Cute yellow t-strap sandals.  

Bag: These leather American Apparel clutches are so fun!
