Fashion Friday: Edition groove is in the heart

Somehow Thursdays have ended up being a marathon day for us. Between homework, after school activities and basketball practice I usually end up wanting to cry by 8:00 p.m.

But I will not let my crazy Thursday stand in the way of Fashion Friday. It must go on. And I even tried to incorporate a new feature where I show y’all a few things and then show some Pinterest links to give you an idea of how to put those things together. It’s not an exact science, but I think it kind of worked.

So here’s what I found this week.

1. Old Navy colored rock star jeggings

Colored jeans are all the rage. ALL THE RAGE. And I think they look really cute. I’m just not sure I can go back there. I even found a pair of red skinny jeans on sale for $11.99 at Old Navy and couldn’t pull the trigger.

Mainly because the last time I wore red jeans they were from Express and it was 1991. I also had a perm in my hair. It was a dark time.

2. rugby stripe clean-stitch tee

I tried on these shirts at Gap the other day and really like them. They’re thin but not see-through and are a great length for layering. Plus they’re super soft.

3. Old Navy chambray shirt

See? 1991. Chambray shirt. I wore one with my red jeans. And a brown Brighton belt with a big silver clasp. And my perm.

But this is 2012. So I think this would look cute with the pink skinny jeans featured above. Maybe add some turquoise jewelry or a cute scarf or a jacket. Or wear it open with a tank underneath. And no one will think you’re just holding out for 1991.

4. gauzy gale peasant blouse

I think this is cute. Great top for spring. And it’s on sale.

5. charleston era ruffled coat

I adore this coat. It is just perfect with its ruffles.

6. watermelon ice dress

This is the orange dress featured in one of the Pinterest links below. It’s pricey right now, but I bet you can find a cheaper version at TJ Maxx or Francescas or somewhere like that.

7. Target trench coat

I love a good trench coat. And check out how cute the trench coats are in the Pinterest links below. I adore that little girls cuffed jeans, flats and trench. I guess she doesn’t just want to wear running shorts to school every day.

8. leather statement cuff

I think I first saw these on my friend Paige’s blog. Of course I’ve never met Paige in real life but I still call her my friend because I believe we will meet someday in person because I kind of love her.

9. georgina ruffled shirt

Yes, it’s a white shirt. Yes, I have a problem. Yes, I believe white shirts are perfection. But look how cute it looks in the Pinterest link with that blazer.

10. denim blazer

And speaking of blazers, I love this denim one. Sure, black is probably my favorite but I like the denim. Especially with a cute skirt for spring. It’s a little dressier than just a normal jean jacket.

Okay.

See how cute the trench is? LOVE.

 

And look at this with the striped shirt and rainboots. So cute.

 

 

 

I love the coral with denim and turquoise. This would be cute with cowboy boots too.

 

 

This is a great look, too. Apparently I’m all about the coral color right now.

 

 

 

Here are the red skinny jeans. It kind of makes me wish I’d forked over the $11.99 for that pair at Old Navy. But then what if I put them on and channel 1991 and the next thing you know I’m standing on a table in a public place singing “Groove is in the Heart” by Dee-Lite?

Not that I ever did that kind of thing.

 

I’ll just say that a few bottles of Zima  can cause a person to lose some inhibitions.

 

 

 

The only thing that rivals coral for me at this point is a great yellow. I love the yellow skirt with the brown accessories and denim jacket. You could put the denim blazer with it for a look that’s a little more tailored if that’s your thing.

 

 

 

See how great the ruffled shirt looks with the blazer? Such a great look.

 

 

 

And that’s it for today.

Y’all have a great Friday.
