Fashion Friday: Edition I can’t believe it’s August

So this is going to be quick because it’s late and I waited until the last minute to pull it together. But I just want to briefly share that I was listening to the radio today and Boogie Shoes by KC and the Sunshine Band came on.

And I had this flashback to a dance recital in fourth grade where I did a tap dance routine to that song while wearing a chocolate brown leotard with gold fringe and a gold headpiece that looked like something you’d find on the top of a Christmas tree. At the time I believed I’d never looked so beautiful.

I don’t really have a point except to say maybe you should think twice about any fashion advice I have to offer. I am only a step away at all times from the temptation to wear a brown leotard with gold fringe.

1. tinley road quilted vegan leather jacket

Sometimes I post things that I don’t necessarily plan to order because sometimes you have to exercise self-control or you’ll end up living in a van down by the river.

However, this jacket is definitely on my must have list. The reviews are great. I love the way it looks and, BONUS, it appeals to my vegan sensibilities.

Not that I have any vegan sensibilities, but what if I decide to at some point?

2. bohemian turquoise ring

Turquoise is my weakness. Love this ring.

3. charmante femme striped top

This is such a cute top. It may also be on my must order soon list because it’s the perfect thing to throw on with jeans.

4. dreamy lace tank top

I realize that I tend to feature a top like this almost every week, but this one is a great price and I love that it’s long enough to wear with skinny jeans or maybe even leggings depending on how long it is on a normal person.

5. voile and lace trapeze slip

So football season is less than a month away. I really can’t talk about or I won’t be able to sleep tonight for all the excitement.

But here’s my issue. It’s tough for a girl to find cute maroon clothing. There just isn’t much to be found. Which is why I was so excited to see this at Free People. They’re calling it “plum”, but I think we all know they meant to say “Aggie maroon”.

6. hooded flounce pullover

Something about this appeals to me. Maybe with leggings and boots?

7. terry moto jacket

I saw this in person at Gap yesterday and thought it was really cute.

8. lightweight v-neck cardigan

I am not a cardigan girl. I’ve had moments where I’ve tried but it just looks like I’m playing pretend. However, I always think other people look precious in them. And this appears to be a good lightweight version that comes in a bunch of colors.

9. poetic shift dress with belt

This is at Forever 21 and I think it’s darling. I’d probably wear it with my own belt because belts that sometimes come with these things are a little wonky.

10. dotted uptown tunic

So cute with white jeans to get through the end of summer. And it’s on sale at Anthropologie right now.

That’s it for today.

Y’all have a good Friday.
