Sheer Perfection

Summer is the perfect time to sport a slew of different dresses.  Over the next week or so, I'm going to be sharing a few lovelies from French Connection that will fit the bill for a handful of summer occasions.  Case in point, this Floral Off the Shoulder is an absolute slam dunk for a summer wedding be it in the day or night.  I am so in love with the sheer overlay and how the stems play a game of peek-a-boo.  And the fact that it's off the shoulder only enhances its femininity, am I right?  True to my print mixing form, I tossed in a striped clutch (SIMILAR) to add a fun little contrast.  Basically, can someone just invite me to a wedding already so I can wear this bad boy?  Or even a baby/bridal shower--she's just too perfect!

Alright gang, cheers to a lovely Tuesday--make it a fab one!

The City Mix

The moment I stepped foot in the French Connection store in SoHo, I knew this Pony Hair Leo Coat was stepping out the door with me.  I've been eyeing her online and so seeing her in person only confirmed the fabulousness.  And true to form, why pair it with straight up black when you can get a little wild with another Bold Print?  Clearly I kept everything else subdued with some opaque tights and classic Tory Burch Booties.  And yes, while I was freezing my ever loving ass off (even with this COAT layered on top), this number was totally worth the hypothermia.  

Alright kids, happy to be back in the Bluegrass even though it's a dang tundra out there--kids out of school for the week so we're going to get a healthy dose of laziness today!  Feel free to shop the look below (as well as some of the SALE picks from French Connection...see Embroidered, Checks, & Herringbone).  Y'all make it a good one--stay warm!
