Friday Fancies: Summer Sunset

Sunset


Happy Friday friends! I just finished my first full week of work this week, loving it so far! I think this is going to be a good year. I can just tell!

This week, the lovely Mrs. {av} asked us to channel a summer sunset. Well I don't know about you, but this weekend, evenings in Chicago are going to get chilly by summer standards. I'm talking 55. That's a little chilly for this summer-loving gal! So in honor of those lovely August sunsets, I put this together. Perfect for a night out on your back patio, a stroll on the beach, or a last minute night out with friends. And actually, I'm going to wear (almost) this exact outfit today to work and then dress it up for a family bbq this evening. It's just too fun and easy not to recreate!

Stripes + Minnie Pants = You can do no wrong!

(plus doesn't this new bauble bar necklace just remind you of a sunset? I'm in love with the color and shape!).

What are you up to this weekend? I plan on doing some relaxing, dog walking, and more relaxing. Sound like a plan? I think so!

Happy Weekends and go check out Long Distance Loving for more Sunset Fancies!

  3. That is chilly! We are still in the 70's at night here... Even 80's by sunset some nights... OK, so right now I want to kick myself. I own 2 pair of UO cigarette jeans and 2 days ago I tried on a jade pair (similar to above) that were on sale. I talked myself out of it so I wouldn't spend money and am so kicking myself for not getting them... Sigh... xoxo

  7. We're jean jacket twins!! haha, but seriously, I would totally wear this outfit. J. Crew minnie's are quite possibly the most comfortable pants ever. EXCELLENT choice! Enjoy your relaxing weekend :)
