friday's fancies - project polka dot

This week's Friday's Fancies theme with long distance loving is Project Polka Dot. I love the black and white polka dot sweater so I built an outfit around it! The peplum top and scallop shorts make the outfit a little less casual but not too dressy. The trendy sunglasses, bold bangles, statement necklace, and bright nail polish complete the look!

Brands I Love: Nasty Gal [plus a shopping guide!]

One brand that has been on my radar for the past eight months or so is Nasty Gal. The online retail shop carries vintage pieces as well as clothing, shoes, and accessories from contemporary designers. The pieces are fun and definitely add flair to an outfit! I have a pair of floral shorts from Nasty Gal that I love. [See a post with these shorts here.]

According to the site's about page, founder Sophia Amoruso began a vintage eBay shop in 2006 called Nasty Gal Vintage. The shop was such a success that Amoruso started what we know now as NastyGal.com!

scallops!

Scalloped hems are another trend popping up this spring. I think scallops are girly and fun and am excited to possibly get something scalloped when I go shopping this season. 

Here is an "outfit" I put together with a scalloped shirt I adore:

Tank, Shorts, Hat, Bag, Shoes

Here are some other great scalloped options!

I like the sleeves on this dress - perfect for the semi-warm-semi-chilly weather of spring!

This tank takes on a bohemian flair with intricate lace and subtle colors.

The red color of this shirt is simple yet makes a statement.

The black and white detailing on this dress have a unique, '60s modern feel.

This dress is also black and white, but the structure is totally different! I like how the scallops are layered and the dress is fitted.
