Here’s my casual take on the gingham trend.  This Loft purple gingham shirt is a favorite of mine. You might recognize it from my blog banner. (Who says bloggers never wear the same thing twice?)  And I wanted to add this colorful vintage scarf that was my mom’s into the mix.  I love the way it looks tied to my Lilly tote.

Middle-aged Goldilocks & Fun Fashion Friday Link Up!

February 18, 2015

I felt a bit like Goldilocks recently looking for a chambray shirt. The shirt was either too big, too small, too dark, too light, too short, too stiff, or too boxy.  So this middle-aged Goldilocks was thrilled to finally find this shirt that was just right!  It’s Cloth and Stone (an Anthropologie brand) and I found it at Crossroads Trading, a store with new and gently used clothing to buy, sell, or trade.
 
 
It was the perfect color and length for me and so soft too.  Isn’t the back detail cute?

 

Outfit details:
Jeans – Gap Always Skinny
Plain white tee – Old Navy
Shooties – Madden Girl
Black straw bag – Vintage
Necklace – Lucky Brand
Earrings – Nordstrom Rack
Sunglasses – Readers.com
 
 
Denim with denim? Of course!  We all know those old rules no longer apply!


 

And this little guy wanted to come see what Mommy was up to.

 

Sending out a huge thanks to everyone who has been participating in FUN FASHION FRIDAY! I’m having tons of fun and I hope everyone else is too!
 
Here are a few of my favorite Valentine’s Day inspired looks from last week …
 
Debbie of Fashion Fairy Dust is looking hip and chic in her plaid sweatshirt and leather skirt.
 
Alice of Happiness at Mid-life is a feminine romantic vision in pretty polka dots.
 
How adorable is Chioma of Chioma’s Evolution of Style in her Barbie pink skirt and denim jacket?
 
Miriam of Farm Girl outdid herself this week with this precious Valentine’s Day look.  Love those red tights!
 
Laura of I Do DeClaire looks fabulous in this cozy red sweater and those great pattern pixie pants!
 
Okay Dolls, time to party …
