Happy Weekend and welcome to the series Fashion Friday… where I discuss my other design love! Yesterday’s room was full of warmth, neutrals and loads of texture. While this outfit may be a bit bolder than neutral, I thought it reflected some casual warmth too!

This outfit began with Rachel Zoe’s beautiful flowing skirt. It was a great jumping off point for casual warmth! Pairing it with a sparkly top and flats helps to add some texture and interest. I wanted to balance all of that sparkle with a simple and fun cardigan. The soft colors in the accessories is a nod to the neutral palette in yesterday’s family room. The detailed pearls on the clutch helps to add some extra texture to the outfit. And the feather inspired earrings stay warm and neutral, yet add another hint of texture.

And a big thanks to Carolyn from her design blog, Sweet Chaos Home for selecting me in the ’11 questions’ game going on in blogland! I truly appreciate it!  🙂 If you haven’t already, definitely stop by her blog. I love her pretty blog header:

Happy Weekend and welcome to the series Fashion Friday… where I discuss my other design love! This outfit might have been better to post in the fall or early winter, but since it’s still cold here, I thought I would show you my outfit interpretation of yesterday’s space. The living room from yesterday’s post was casual, with a hint of chic and had a relaxed, equestrian vibe. I thought this outfit also has a similar effect:

This outfit starts with equestrian style riding boots and is paired with skinny jeans for a comfortable, practical look. The bag is also very casual and can hold a lot for the girl on the move! The comfy sweater and animal inspired vest reflect the simple and chic style of yesterday’s space. And the jewelry is fun, with a hint of glam!

Happy weekend and welcome to the series Fashion Friday… where I discuss my other design love! With March right around the corner, I definitely have spring on the brain. So as the saying goes, If you build it, they will come (or something like that!) So, if I build a spring outfit, maybe spring will arrive early.

Spring is in the Air by simpledwellings2

I can’t wait for sandals and open toed shoes! You have to have the sunglasses for a sunny spring day! And bright, cheery colors with light, breezy fabrics are all calling my name!

Happy weekend and welcome to the series Fashion Friday… where I discuss my other design love! I was inspired by yesterday’s cheerful room. The space was layered with texture, interest, bright pops of color and a timeless style. So, I thought I would try and create that look, in an outfit! (I must be wishing for spring to come soon, with these last posts!)

Yesterday’s lakeside retreat was fun, relaxing and full of color! This outfit is a bold interpretation of that! We start with the green blazer, which reminds me so much of the green used in yesterday’s space. In the dining room, the bright pop was balanced with subtle neutral hues and a little hint of a salmon, coral color. So, I found this adorable coral clutch and ring which also adds another fun color to the outfit. The soft creams and tans in the lace blouse and heels reflect the airiness in yesterday’s wall and sofa colors. The inspiration space had a touch of black to anchor the room, which this skirt and earrings also do in this outfit. The ring and bracelet give a nod to the shiny, sparkly elements in the room, such as the beautiful chandeliers. With all of these cheerful inspirations, maybe spring will come early!

And here’s a hint to what’s happening in our dwellings, as we speak:

Our family room and kitchen will soon go from this-

To this-

I am super excited! The rooms are next to each other, and I can’t wait to tie them together by having them both the same paint color! These rooms have been dark for so long, and I am excited for a major change! This color is Alaskan Husky by Benjamin Moore.

Happy weekend and welcome to Fashion Friday… where I discuss my other design love! Today’s glitzy outfit was inspired by yesterday’s glamourous and shiny room. I thought yesterday’s space was fun and full of life. This outfit is definitely over the top, yet fun!

Glitz and Glamour by simpledwellings2

The girl who wears this is ready for a glamourous night of cocktails! I love this faux fur coat by Michael Kors. It definitely sets the bar high for a beautiful outfit to follow. This sequined dress and clutch are fun and sparkly and are toned down by simple black pumps. The jewelry is a mix of restrained and glamourous, trying to create a balance of classic with over the top glam.

Happy weekend and welcome to Fashion Friday… where I discuss my other design love. Yesterday’s room was fun, eclectic and had a lot of pattern and interest. So today’s outfit is no different. Enjoy!

With this outfit, the overall color palette is neutral- yet with different patterns and textures, I wanted to create a layered, eclectic look. The soft textures in the blouse and cardigan play off of the rugged leather jacket. The print on the ballet flats is paired with another print in the clutch, yet the colors are neutral, keeping the outfit from being too busy. The jewlery is layered, giving an eclectic and acquired over time look. Yesterday’s room was a mix of different styles and pattern, and an outfit can be the same way!

Happy weekend and welcome to the series Fashion Friday… where I show an outfit inspired by interior design! I really liked the soothing and simple color palette of yesterday’s room, so I thought I would show my outfit interpretation of the space!

Yesterday’s great room was filled with hues of white, gray and black- with a hint of red! So I did the same with this fashion interpretation- the base of the outfit has black leggings, with a simple black and white striped shirt and gray cardigan. Simple and comfortable… and who doesn’t look great in black?!? White, gray and black are almost always in my outfits, so this was a simple task for me! The gray suede boots are a splurge and add just a hint of red at the bottom. Aren’t Louboutins on everyone’s wish list??? This is an imaginary outfit, so why not splurge a little! The red bag also ties in the accessory color and gives the outfit some life. The snake earrings are a whimsical touch and reminded me of the animal art that was in yesterday’s space.

With all of the holiday hustle bustle, I have taken a little break from the regular weekly series posts. So, I thought it would be fun to return Fashion Friday with a holiday inspired outfit!

I love the look of cable knit and especially love cream colored accessories and clothes in the winter! I like to start with a base of skinny jeans, paired with big boots and warm sweaters. Then, I layer in a fun coat and handbag and finish off the look with a winter white hat, plaid scarf and earrings that look like little bows! (Santa- are you listening???)

What will you wear this winter??
