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!

Lucky FABB Series: Day 1 Outfit

Wearing:

Dress: BBDakota

Blazer: Forever 21 (similar)

Bag: Coach 'Penny' bag

Wedges: Franco Sarto via Nordstrom

Necklace: LOFT (in store and on sale!)

Pave Link Bracelet: J.Crew

Arrow Bangle: gift (similar)

Watch: Michael Kors

I would be lying if I said I didn't put a lot of thought into this outfit for Day 1 of Lucky FABB (Lucky Magazine's Fashion and Beauty Blogger Conference), but it's so true. I knew I wanted to be bright, colorful, and springy! Mint and floral was my absolute first choice, and this gorgeous BBDakota dress was an absolute steal! It's very affordable, and I love the detail on the hem and its' flowy chiffon material. I would definitely recommend it for a summer wedding or any sort of party! It's got dainty, little spaghetti straps, you just can't see them in this post!

I've also been wearing the LOFT necklace I bought a few weeks ago with EVERYTHING! It's lightweight, and neutral, but makes a subtle statement with almost every outfit I've paired it with. Lastly, I'd like to address my never-ending love affair with the classic legacy Coach cross body bag. I've only purchased vintage cognac brown ones up until this point, but I decided that I needed a gorgeous Spring color to tote around my keys, wallet, and lip color. The Penny bag in mint is not only a gorgeous color, but it also matches my blogger business cards ;) (a total plus!)

I really hope that you're having an amazing week, I just wanted to take the time to let you know, as a reader that I appreciate you! My next post over the weekend will be a Recap of my Day 1 Lucky FABB experience. It includes lots of helpful information that I learned about being a blogger! I've got lots of notes that I'm prepared to share with you- it will almost be like you were there with me! That's what I'm aiming for anyway.
