What to Wear in August + Currently Crushing On

What a weekend, y’all!  I started working on a fun, new project that I’ll be telling you all about in a few weeks, relaxed with the fam for a bit, and did some work on the back end of WNW.  {Not always fun, but always necessary.}  Today’s post is definitely more on the laidback side, but a quick look at what I’ve been wearing lately & what I’m currently crushing on!

The lovely Carrie Grace opened up some spots in her necklace club — join in April and you’ll receive a gold ampersand necklace like the one I’m wearing above in addition to your monthly necklace. Score!

I’m not sure when layering necklaces became a thing that I do, but I don’t hate it and it’s made me branch out a little with some dainty pieces that I’m currently loving. I hemmed and hawed about purchasing my drusy wrap cuff but am so glad I did – I wear it all the time and always get compliments on it. It’s not currently available online (Versona just launched online shopping *insert praise hands emoji*) but is available in stores in two colors. This navy lace dress is something I picked up with a Charlotte Russe gift card I got for Christmas — I love that the sleeves and very bottom of the hem are open lace but it’s a little short for work or church so I slipped my J. Crew Factory geometric pencil skirt on over it.  I think the mix of texture and pattern is kind of fun but still subtle.

Forever 21 Yellow Striped Boatneck {old, similar in navy} + Vera Bradley Travel Organizer + Toms Black Glitter Slip Ons + Roz & ALI stretch denim via Dressbarn + Perry Street necklace c/o Rocksbox {similar} + Monroe Necklace via GroopDealz {old} + OPI nail polish

1. This Vera travel wallet has 11 card slots, a slot for cash, a place for a boarding pass and a place for your passport. I’ve mentally started the countdown until I’m on vacation and I can’t wait! 2. People (including myself) complain about the quality of Forever21 clothing but I’ve had this shirt for 4 years. 3. I got to keep this necklace for $0 thanks to Rocksbox — have you signed up yet? If not, use code whatnicoleworexoxo at checkout for a sweet surprise (cough cough a free month).

Style Challenges
Last week’s style challenges

I’ve found I don’t always want to participate every single day in a style challenge but I enjoy seeing how other people style similar colors, items, etc.  It definitely helps on days when you’re just not sure what you really want to wear.

What I wore this week:

she inside dress (available in two colors) + loren hope blythe necklace in coral c/o rocksbox + target style gold glitter clutch {old, similar} + china glaze nail polish in boho blues + coral & gold wedges via famous footwear

When I first tried on this dress, I knew I wanted to wear it for Easter this year. I really felt my Sunday Best in this pretty get up from She Inside. The fit is very true to the measurements on the site, so if in doubt pull out the tape measure. You can try your first month of Rocksbox for free with code nicoleBFF503 – you’ll love it!
