You Fancy Huh?: What I Wore

Well it's Monday and I hope you all had as good a weekend as I did. The weather was beautiful and I spent lots of time with my friends and family. My older brother was visiting from Virginia and I got to meet my new niece for the first time. The perfect end to a fabulous weekend was my friends wedding last night! The weather was gorgeous and the ceremony was beautiful. As an end to my "You Fancy Huh" series I thought I'd show you guys what I wore to the wedding. Enjoy!

All the jewelry is from Target, the clutch is Steve Madden, the Sandals are New York Transit, and the dress is from Joyce Leslie. 

You Fancy Huh?: Outfit # 3

Well, here is the last installment of my summer formal wear series for the week. For my last idea I think it's time to push the sophisticated sex appeal. Nothing is hotter than a curve hugging red dress and the one above covers enough skin, so you come off looking sexy but not trashy. A few well chosen statement pieces of gold jewelry gives the look an upscale, sophisticated feel. Add a pair of strappy sandals and a funky clutch and you'll be taking in compliments all night.

Thank you for your comments on my other wedding attire posts from this week! It's so nice to get feedback from anyone who reads my blog and I love to know that I'm actually reaching people! I hope my outfit for my friends wedding goes over as well as some of my fantasy (non-budget constrained) choices. I'll be sure to post some pictures Monday. 

You Fancy Huh?: Outfit #2

Well ladies, it's time for outfit number two in my formal wear series. In my opinion, there's nothing more lady-like than a good pair of pearls. When I put them on I feel like I'm channeling my favorite fashion icon, Audrey Hepburn. In fact, this whole ensemble feels pretty Audrey inspired thanks to the Tiffany-blue dress and clutch. I love the idea of giving a demure look a bit of a fashion-forward twist by adding an unexpected pop of color. The pink pumps are daring but are balanced out by the simplicity of the rest of the look. If you really want to push the limit accessorize with a bright clutch too, like the Serpui Marie ombre clutch, above. If you'd rather keep everything besides the heels a little more low key, choose a clutch in a neutral color or one that matches your dress, like the Tiffany  Co. Clutch, on the right (I really got a little carried away with the Audrey theme here huh?). Just remember, whatever you decide, wear it with confidence. Then you'll always look your best. 

You Fancy Huh?: Outfit #1

Ahhh Monday morning. I'm actually a fan of Monday's since they're usually my day off. I hope everyone had a fabulous Mother's Day. Now that this weekend is over I'm already looking forward to next week. One of my good friends is getting married next Sunday! I have most of my outfit picked out, I just have a few last minute accessories details to work on. Since it is wedding and prom season, I thought it would be fun to put together a couple of formal outfit ideas together for you. Today we can talk about gold. My everyday jewelry and accessories are usually silver-based but when I get dressed up I like to switch to gold. I love the color of this dress and the gold accents make accessorizing easy. The gold's you use should be close, but don't need to be perfect matches as long as they're not right on top of each other. The gold detail on the bodice of the dress makes a necklace unnecessary so I would focus on statement earrings, dainty rings and a pretty cuff or bangles. The best part of everything in the outfit above is it's all affordable!
