Americana: Red Striped Shorts

June 29, 2016

Today’s Fourth of July look {did you catch Monday’s post?} is a more subtle take on incorporating America’s colors.  It is suddenly ‘wear minimal clothing’ hot in Kentucky and I’m having to seriously resist the urge to live in shorts and a top knot every single day.

I wanted to tie in some blue with my jewelry so I pulled out my blue faced watch and my new bracelet set from Horse Feathers Gifts.  You can pick what size you want the bracelets and it comes with the gold tassel detail that I thought would match perfectly with my Kendra Scott necklace.  Also, can we talk about the sale Kendra’s having today?! All druzy pieces are 15% off with free shipping; if you’ve followed me for awhile, you probably know that I wear my druzy Elisa necklaces allllllll the stinkin time.  They’re my favorite necklace to layer with and have just the right amount of sparkle to be pretty without being too loud.

I’m loving LOFT’s short selection this summer; this pair is a higher waist with fun button detailing where you’d typically have pockets.  The shorts are very nautical to me.  LOFT is running a huge Fourth of July 50% sale that started today.  I’m going to try and resist, but I’m sure I’ll end up buying a few pieces before the weekend’s over. Shop my picks here:

Americana: Donuts and Bacon 2016

June 27, 2016

Happy happy Monday and welcome to Americana week at What Nicole Wore! I’m pumped to show off three different patriotic looks to help inspire your outfit for the 4th.  Kicking things off with a super casual look for a pool + BBQ 4th of July.

What Nicole Wore: Donuts and Bacon

You may remember, I ordered this tank for a donut 5k that I ran back in April and I have every intention of wearing it for every donut/American themed event I have this year. Voting Day in November? I’ll be wearing this under a blazer for sure. I love the racerback for summer {and for the gym}; it pairs perfectly with a lace bralette.What Nicole Wore: Donuts and Bacon

These royal blue chucks are such an easy way to dress down jeans {or jean shorts} during the summer months.

What Nicole Wore: Donuts and Bacon

I’ve raved about how great I think the Kylie Lip Kit is before and finally managed {read: remembered} to snag another one in the classic bold red color, Mary Jo K.  The lip liners that come with your matte lipstick is hands down my favorite liner ever.

What Nicole Wore: Donuts and Bacon

How cute is this bracelet stack? I discovered Horse Feather’s Gifts on Instagram a few weeks back.  They’re a Kentucky based jewelry boutique that donates a portion of each sale to animal rescue {so awesome right?}.  This ombre stack is available in a few other colors and each features the fun gold tassel.

Polka Dot Pattern Mixing

June 24, 2016

We made it to the weekend! I finished my first full week at my new part time job as a Loft girl and am sharing a fun print mix of stripes and polka dots that’s the perfect summer outfit for the office.

What Nicole Wore: Polka Dot Pattern Mixing
featured in this post: loft: polka dot ruffle tank {40% off with code JUICY} + loft: stripe skirt {40% off with code JUICY} + forever 21: block heel sandal + kendra scott: silver druzy necklace c/o + kendra scott: bracelet set c/o + fossil: tan leather watch c/o + madewell: tote + colourpop: matte lipstick + nars: blush + tarte: eyebrow pencil
Playing with patterns is one of my favorite ways to get the most out of my wardrobe and rejuvenate classic pieces, but can be overwhelming for some.  One of my top tips is to select items within the same color scheme.  This striped skirt first caught my eye because of the unique tulip hem detail.  Tulip hems normally aren’t my thing; extra flowy fabric makes my hips look wider something I tend to avoid as much as humanly possible.  Luckily this skirt is made of a stretchy {and thick} material that doesn’t add any width to the hips plus it sits higher with emphasis placed on the waist.  I wear petite sizing in LOFT pants, but like to stick to the misses sizing for skirts and shorts.

What Nicole Wore: Polka Dot Pattern Mixing

This skirt has tons of styling possibilities {so stay tuned to see some upcoming remixes with it}, but this brand new polka dot top was too fun to resist when we unpacked it earlier in the week.  The ruffle detail is super cute and the thicker tank sleeves make it office appropriate but also easy to throw on with jeans for the weekend or a mid-week dinner out.  I ended up getting this top in XS Petite {I’m 5’6 for reference} and am wearing it over a white camisole as the shell does run on the sheer side.

What Nicole Wore: Polka Dot Pattern Mixing

I’m always an advocate for accessories, but over the past year or so I’ve leaned towards adding jewelry pieces that are easy to mix and match with other jewelry as well as my full closet.  This bracelet set from Kendra Scott features three bangles in gold, silver and rose gold with delicate engraved and pave detail. While I’m pretty solidly on team gold now, for a long time I had a pretty strong affinity for all things silver; having mixed metal pieces makes it easy for me to mix and match my jewelry pieces without really having to think about it.

I originally wasn’t so sure about this watch when I first got it, but the classic tan leather goes with everything {including my cognac tote} and extra bonus, it features the date which I honestly never can actually tell you without pulling out my phone.

I skipped Friday Favorites last week, but have some really good ones for ya today to make up for it, I promise!

  • This pizza charm necklace is giving me life, especially since I’ve been craving allllll the unhealthy food lately.
  • I cracked up reading Elsie’s account of finding the perfect “blog wall,” because same.
  • Having an interest in fashion + style and living in the South makes it pretty much impossible to not know who Kendra Scott is, but this article about how she got her start in design and how that eventually led into jewelry design {as well as the more recent changes that company has made} was absolutely fascinating to me.
  • How fun is this bright statement necklace for summer? It’s on sale right now so snag it while you can and pair it with a bright maxi dress! Want to see more fun sale picks? Scroll up the sidebar to my current Summer Sale Loves!

Printed Fringe Dress

June 22, 2016

Keeping things short and sweet today as I had a meltdown over Flash player not working on my computer last night only to realize this morning that it would probably reset itself if I just {duh} restarted my laptop. *eyeroll at myself*

What Nicole Wore: Printed Fringe Dress
featured in this post: shein: printed dress with double fringe hem c/o + kendra scott: benning necklace c/o + francesca’s: tassel bracelet set {sold out online, similar linked | francesca’s currently has a mix and match BOGO on clothes, jewelry and accessories!} + marble sunglasses {under $15} + forever 21: fringe wedges + leopard clutch {similar linked and here} + colourpop: matte liquid lipstick
What Nicole Wore: Printed Fringe Dress

The fun fringe on the bottom of this dress was my absolute favorite and the biggest reason that I ordered, but the fit was very meh.  I’m not big on sheath type dresses in general because they rarely fit right on my pear shape but this one was a big pass.  Stick straight shaped friends — order away! You’ll look fab in this asymmetrical print that will sit right and flatter your body shape.

What Nicole Wore: Printed Fringe Dress

I’m currently crushing super hard on my new Kendra Scott necklace; it’s all gold which has been my thing lately and the center features multiple cutouts of the Kendra logo connecting.  Super unique and the all gold makes it easy to mix and match with any and everything in your closet.  I’ve linked it here through Nordstrom for those of you that like to take advantage of free shipping and returns; Nordstrom I love you and your sales.

PS. Don’t forget that Kendra Scott is running a sale today only on shell items also with free shipping!  Just use code helloshell at checkout to get 15% off; my current shell crush is the Lawson cuff in crushed stone – swoon!

What Nicole Wore: Printed Fringe Dress

I can’t stop, won’t stop with fun prints for summer {or any time of the year for that matter}; this leopard clutch will probably be on heavy rotation for the rest of my life {or at least the rest of my twenties} and I feel so bad that I haven’t worn these fun marble print sunglasses as much as I probably should.  They’re a fun dupe for these marble print Quay frames and only a quarter of the price.  They also come with free two day shipping if you’re an Amazon Prime member!

Hot Pink Tassel Dress

June 17, 2016

Tassels? Again? I know, so unoriginal of me, but this hot pink tassel dress with white trim and rainbow bright tassels was just TOO good to pass on.  Plus, wait till you see the back!

What Nicole Wore: Hot Pink Tassel Dress

I’m not usually a big pink person, but I actually love how vibrant this shade is. Plus, the contrast between the hot pink and the white trim that the tassels hang from is gorgeous and so eye catching.  And how amazing is this ring? Completely obsessed with all things marble {still} and this hot pink howlite ring is such a statement piece.

What Nicole Wore: Hot Pink Tassel Dress

I love the criss cross layers on the back with the fun rainbow bright tassels; this dress is made of a thicker material and features a snap closure at the shoulder.

What Nicole Wore: Hot Pink Tassel Dress

This calf hair leopard clutch is a recent addition to my closet that I’m head over heels for; you can read all the details on this guest post I wrote on Tif’s blog this week, but long story short – I’ve lusted over the Clare V clutch for over two years but wasn’t willing to shell out.  My regular eBay surfing paid off once again and I ended up finding this great dupe for only $40. #TurnUp
