Friday's Fancies

Hello lovelies. It's been such a long week for me. One more week left to the semester and then a week of finals, and I am definitely feeling the pressure now. But on to a happier subject! This post is the first of what is going to become a fairly frequent friday feature (that's a lot of f-words!). The feature is called Friday's Fancies and you can give all credit to this pretty girl for coming up with it!

The idea of Friday's Fancies is to choose an outfit for Friday or for the weekend that is unlimited to spending! So you're imagination can run wild! Sound exciting yet? I thought so too, but there's even more creativeness. If you really have a weekend event to create something fun for, you can go with that. If you don't, or you just want to get creative, you can create what you wish you would be doing in the outfit this weekend. So here goes nothing, er, something.

Dress: Halston Heritage Sandals: Alaia Earrings: Charm and Chain

The Story: With all the rain and random cold weather we have been having here, all I can think about is being some place warm. So I am dreaming that Ryan and I are just going to drive on over to the beach (and pretend it's a short drive away) and attend a gorgeous party on the beach. There will be a bonfire and roasting of marshmellows, candles will be lit everywhere (because it will already be dark) and a few of our friends will be singing and playing guitar. So naturally my first thoughts for planning this outfit were: flowy and sparkly. So this pretty floral maxi dress will work perfectly, and I can picture me wearing it while Ryan and I dance on the beach! And of course, any occasion with some candles and music requires a girl to be sparkly. So golden gladiator sandals, bangles, and dangle earrings will make me glisten. Then, just because I'm still feeling cool from the cold weather here, I had to include this scarf for later that evening. And my favorite accessory to the outfit is the fedora hat. I've been in love with those babies lately! And best of all, that hat is the one part of this Friday's Fancies outfit that isn't too fancily out of my budget.

So who's with me on the sparkly beach party?
