friday's fancies #51: the more the merrier.

ok, i know... it's a little much. but when {av} announced this week's friday's fancies theme, SPARKLE, i knew i wanted to go all-out. i'm the kind of person who often goes back & forth between loving simple, preppy looks & glitzy, girly, glamorous looks. any guesses as to where my fashion compass is pointing these days?

friday's fancies #51: the more the merrier.

i think in the case of sparkle, you can get away with piling it on from time to time, though i do enjoy an outfit where one sparkly piece steals the show. this is obviously not one of those looks, but i think it works. i'd gladly don this luxe layered look to a holiday soiree - preferably of the egg nog, dancing, & christmas cookies variety!

i'm sure many will relate when i say that this weekend, justin & i will be tackling some christmas shopping. i've been brainstorming a lot, & i hope my ideas will take shape as we shop. we have also planned a little outing with a friend - we'll be taking a short road trip north to experience mike's farm. i'm told there is hay-riding & delicious food, & i can't wait!

I'm guessing you're leaning more towards the glitzy and glamorous side... ;)

I love all of your sparkly things. That necklace is gorgeous!

Hope you have a successful weekend of shopping and hay-riding. Happy Friday.

the back and forth.

Justin had to turn on the air conditioner again last night.  It's October 26 - doesn't that mean the heater can stay on? Doesn't...
