friday's fancies - tanked!

This week's Friday's Fancies with Long Distance Loving is tanked! While I wear tank tops literally all year round (layered, of course, in the winter), the middle of the summer is the perfect time to go sleeveless and show off those bronzed shoulders!

tank, pants, handbag, bracelet, watch, sandals

This tank from Asos is super trendy so I paired it with classic, red skinny pants and neutral colored accessories. The colors work really well together and all play off the fun print on the tank. This outfit would be perfect for brunch or an evening around town. For work, swap out the sandals for a pair of pumps and top it off with a blazer. And aren't you just swooning over this Michael Kors bag?! Since a Celine is currently out of my budget, I'm actually seriously considering MK's take on the similar silhouette.

friday's fancies - hit the slopes

This week's Friday's Fancies theme with long distance loving is Hit the Slopes ("your best apres-ski outfit!") I've never skied ... being a dancer, skiing is high injury risk - I've even had to sign dance team contracts saying I wouldn't ski. However, sometimes I go with a group of people to my friend's cabin up in the mountains. (See this post and this post!) While only some of us ski, the non-skiers hang out and relax. Here's an outfit I would wear if I had these pieces in my wardrobe:

cardigan, tank, coat, jeans, socks, boots

broken camera / blue tank

Tank: Nordstrom Shorts: American Eagle Shoes: New Look [London] Necklace: F21

My camera is currently broken :( I'm hoping I can get it fixed soon! That's why I haven't been posting my outfits lately. But, I liked this outfit and even though it's not the best quality I decided to take the photo with my phone. A contrasting turquoise and silver necklace compliments the bright blue tank and I wore white shorts and flat espadrilles to accompany the color.

"digital" florals

Shorts: Nasty Gal Tank, bracelets, earrings: Nordstrom Sandals: my mom's closet Sunglasses: American Eagle

It was pretty warm again today, so I pulled out these floral shorts again - this time without the tights and boots! I love warm weather. "Digital" florals have been on the fashion-radar for a some time now and the trend has exploded this spring.

It has taken me a little while to warm up to the digital floral trend, seeing as some patterns remind me of the curtains from my old house in the '90s. They're not as bad as I originally thought, though. I have found some great pieces that are updated and more modern! Below are a few digital floral items to try out if you like the trend. (I think the skirt is gorgeous!)

maxi dress

cropped pants

pencil skirt

short-sleeved dress

Do you like the digital florals trend? Is it a trend to stay, or should it have stayed in the past all along? Would you wear any of the pieces above? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

olive & gold

Jacket: Arden B Shirt: Macy's Shorts: Rock & Republic Watch: Michael Kors Bracelets: F21 Shoes: Sperry Ring: Nordstrom

I was going to take this photo outside on this gorgeous, sunny day, but I forgot my camera at home! I took a photo inside instead and was happy this I got a decent photo on the first shot. I have to go to work in a few minutes! Super fast post today.

About the outfit - I like using olive as a neutral but enjoy how it still adds a bit of subtle color. Of course, I add some shine with the sparkles on the tank, accessories, and soft gold metallic shoes, but wear simple denim shorts to not make the outfit over the top.

Happy Tuesday!
