Friday Fancies: Outfit Inspiration

For this weeks Friday's Fancies we're picking an outfit that we've seen on Pinterest, another blog, etc. and recreating it. I've had this image pinned for several months now and I always come back to it for some reason. It isn't anything fancy, but I find the pairing of the pleated midi skirt & lace top completely unexpected- especially for daytime. I think the bright colored skirt, messy hair, and the flat loafers are what make this day time appropriate & you could easily throw on some wedges and grab a sparkly clutch for a night time.

  10. Okay, so I have those loafers and every time I put them on, I'm just not feeling them. I've only tried with pants and jeans though...you've inspired me to try them with a skirt! Maybe that will do the trick! Have a great weekend!

  23. This is so ironic that this is your outfit because I just packed an outfit for a conference that is so similar with a kneelength pleated skirt & a striped sweater & a funky belt... I love your version too! Especially the colors & that necklace!!!

    Hope you have a great weekend!!!

  31. Ok, I have a pleated skirt that I gave at often and I love it...but I struggle to style it. Help! I am short and I feel shorter and stockier...layering just makes me look bulky. Maybe I need to tailor it?
