Graduating to the Next Level of Style with Francesca’s

{This post is sponsored by Francesca’s!  Thank you for supporting the brands that allow me to pursue What Nicole Wore.  All opinions shared are my own.}

This time of year can be so busy with end of the school year, graduations, Memorial Day weekend — the list goes on!  For me, one of the ways I’ve learned to stop overextending myself is to figure out my one-stop shops and knock everything off my to-do list in one swoop.  That’s one of the reasons I love shopping at Francesca’s; no matter what outfit I’m looking for or which friend or family member is on my gift list, I know I’ll be able to find an item that’s just what I need.

Today, I’m sharing the pleated skirt that’s perfect to wear to graduation.

Grid Print Peplum

I bought this grid print peplum blouse from LOFT on a whim and love the many styling options it has.  This blouse is a very lightweight material — I needed a camisole underneath, but it means that this piece will transition well into spring.

Striped Cardigan

Sometimes you need time for an item to grow on you and sometimes you see a new arrival and think, “Mine!”  That second one sums up my feelings on this striped cardigan from LOFT.  Between the stripes, longer length and draped front, I was immediately on board.

Colorblock Cape

Thursday, I love ya.  This week has been a real doozy and all I really want to do is snuggle up in this oversized colorblock cape and forget about it.  Ok, and also maybe shop a little bit.  Retail therapy is real therapy — don’t tell me otherwise.
