This is probably going to be the least wordy Fashion Friday in history because I am tired and I have got to get some sleep and I have to run in the morning because if I don’t do it then I will never run again. I don’t understand why that’s the way my mind works, but yet it is who I am.
So, just a few things before I share ten cute things I’ve seen this week. The first is that I can’t believe I’ve warmed up to the bootie. The second is that I can’t believe how wrong the previous sentence sounds. And the third is that I tried on a pair of jeggings last week and came to the conclusion that just because something appears right on someone else doesn’t mean it’s right for me.
I cannot do the jegging.
Ironically, I think I can do the bootie.
But I’m not going to declare the jegging off-limits to everyone. I have seen several people (mainly people who eat three grains of rice a day and run eight miles) who look darling in the jeggings. I just couldn’t get past the fact that it felt like I was wearing leggings, but then I looked down to what is merely a faux denim. It seemed like pure madness.
My point is that you can’t let trends dictate your style. Find things that work for you and that you feel comfortable in and incorporate whatever trends you can live with on your person. There is no need to walk around feeling like you’re wearing a costume.
Or pajamas made out of denim.
Here are my picks for the week. There are no pictures. I humbly apologize but I just couldn’t get it done this week. Try to tell yourself that it’s better than nothing. Or click away and it can truly be nothing. Whatever works for you.
That’s my theme this week.
This ring is adorable. And it’s gold. And I have a crush on gold right now.
I’m still on the search for a fall/winter purse. This one is a contender.
LOVE. There is nothing trendier right now than some sequins. This would look so great paired under a black boyfriend blazer or a cool leather jacket.
I would wear this everyday.
I am on the hunt for a great sweater dress to wear with tights or leggings with boots. It’s not always an easy thing to have because you need something that will fit just right. You do not want a sweater dress that hugs your booty.
Not to be confused with your bootie.
Speaking of bootie, I love these boots from Target and they are a great deal. I lived in my tall brown boots last winter.
It’s true. I was the old woman who lived in a shoe. Except it was a boot.
I also love these Journee Rope Detail Booties. See what the fashion industry does to you? Two years ago I saw booties and gasped in horror. But now they’ve worn me down and I think they’re cute.
Well played, fashion industry. Well played.
I have a sickness. I cannot have enough of these in all colors and versions and textures in my closet.
I can’t believe I’m back to a place in life where I want a Chambray shirt.
Again, well played, fashion industry.
9. Gypsy Hoops
Love these. So cute and you know how I feel about gold.
10. Fields of Roses Embroidered Dress
I probably wouldn’t wear this as a dress. Well, maybe with tights. But I’d definitely wear it with leggings or skinny jeans and my brown boots.
That’s it for today.
Y’all have a great Friday.
