Lucky FABB Series: Day 2 Outfit

April 18, 2013


Wearing:
Top: Target (similar)
Skirt: Target (a summer must-buy!)
Belt: No Rest For Bridget
Bag: c/o Oasap
Watch: Michael Kors
Necklace: LOFT
Sunglasses: Prada

Oh, hello, Friday! It's been such a long week, but here is a fun, trendy outfit to brighten up your weekend! A few interesting points: this is a men's shirt. I specifically wanted it to be baggy and loose to have a very relaxed look. Let me tell ya, it looks amazing with boyfriend jeans and a cross-body coach (in cognac brown of course) but I wanted to make this shirt work with a more girly outfit. This is why I chose the brightest most feminine color and cut of skirt, then added a giant bow for emphasis. Of course, I just had to pair it with some bow toed heels to top it off. 

The trick to getting a feminine waistline in a baggy shirt like this is adding the skinny belt- it offers some more shape to an otherwise very masculine top. To be honest, though, I wanted to be different at Lucky FABB especially. I feel like there are bloggers who play it safe because there are so many other bloggers that will be in the same space, but I really wanted to showcase my style and taste rather than throw on a dress and call it a day.  Up next is a recap of Lucky FABB day 2, and that will wrap up the FABB series... until next year!

Special thanks to my dearest, lovely, and talented friend Brittany LeSueur for taking these photographs! Have a lovely, lovely weekend. Thank you so much for reading!

p.s. Don't miss out on all of the fun! Since GFC is going away in July, follow Living in Color on Bloglovin' by clicking HERE and hitting "follow".

  1. You have such pretty hair! I love this look too. The camo with pink looks amazing. And I really like the pretty bougainvilleas in the background. They match perfectly!

  29. I think the flower brooch is the clever way to soften that military top.. very interesting indeed. Plus I love the mix of camou and lace.. it is like the 2 sides of a woman.. soft but still can kick b*tts! ;)
