Metallic Details and Fun Fashion Friday Link Up!

February 16, 2017

The metallic trend is in high gear if New York Fashion Week is any indication … and duh, if it’s not an indication then what is, right?!

I’m having so much fun with my new Rebecca Minkoff metallic embroidered floral guitar strap!  Geez, that’s like four trends in one!  Here I attached it to my studded clutch bag and love them together. There are so many fun straps at the RM site right now and some are even on sale.

This tunic is from a small local boutique and the label says Groceries, though I couldn’t find anything like it on their site. I did find an even cuter option from Loft (40% off right now with code HAPPY)!

And of course my favorite cropped flared pants (now back in stock at Nordstrom and on sale too!).

The fun bronze loafers are Donald J. Pliner.

My arm stack has some cool pieces, including a Jord wood watch and an evil eye bracelet from Michal Golan.

And I threw on this old military wool coat, another vintage hand-me-down from mom.

SHOPPING LINKS

My favorite outfit from last week’s link up is Shelly of The Queen in Between in this totally adorable look!

Ladies, be sure to check back here on Sunday for The Fierce 50 Campaign post.  Fifty bloggers over 50 are having a special celebration!

And then Dolls, I’m going to do something I’ve never done. I’m going to take a week off from blogging. I think I’m gonna hate that!  LOL.  But I promised my hubby some relaxing vacation time and it will probably be a healthy break for me too. I’m sure I’ll be on social media here and there though.

Before you know it, I’ll be back with vacation stories and photos!  Get on the list and don’t miss a thing!

OXOX

    I love your guitar strap! 🙂 Although I’m on a 6 month no shop challenge I’m definitely wanting to get one of these when I’m back buying again. It’s just so hard choosing one! This one you have is really nice 🙂

    Thanks for the link up!

    Hope you are having a lovely week 🙂

    I’ve had feelers out for a guitar strap to zshuzsh up my bag collection, dearest Dawn…but I haven’t yet found anything as perfect as your Rebecca Minkoff version!! I LOVE the floral detail; it’s exactly the little “pop” – together with those major metallic loafers! – to take this taupe and black ensemble from cute all the way to WOW!! P.S. Enjoy your well-deserved week off with your hubby…I’m definitely envious!! XOXO

    Those metallic loafers are just awesome Dawn Lucy. Love the way you styled them in a very modern subdued way. Makes it even more outstanding. I just got a pair of silver loafers and cannot wait for spring to arrive over here. Hope you haven’t gotten any more of that rain??? xo Sabina
