friday's fancies #14.

After a week-long work trip in Pittsburgh {made much easier by Jillian, Carly, and Kristen...thanks again ladies!}, I'm anticipating a low-key date night with {cv} tonight. Though this outfit is on the glam side, it would bring the perfect purple power pop {say that three times fast!} to whatever activity we end up choosing.

1) The second this top popped up on netaporter.com, I knew immediately it would be weaved into my Friday's Fancies. Vivienne Westwood rocked it with this Anglomania Hop 'n' Skirt belted crepe top. The color, the shape, the bow. Let's just say I'm in love...
2) J.Crew did it again. I loved my Minnie pants from last season, and this new cropped pant-- the café capri pant--needs to make its way into my wardrobe pronto. Though they look grey, they're actually black...and I think the weight of these pants plays perfectly to the spring weather I'm dreaming of too ;)
3) The texture on this Miu Miu Matelassé leather clutch jumped out at me from the get-go. It's small, it's manageable, and it would fit the basics...which would be all I need for a low-key date night.
4) I had a pair of J.Crew flats in 2009 which looked a lot like these Salvatore Ferragamo Varina Metallic Leather Ballet Flats and I completely wore them into the ground. These would definitely be an upgrade {hello, they're 'gamo!}, but they also carry through the bow from the purple Vivienne Westwood masterpiece. If I had some extra $$$ lying around, these would be on my feet.
5) I wanted a little bling--and I think I could get just that with this Kenneth Jay Lane Crystal Ring. I'd also feel like a rockstar wearing it. KJL had a matching Crystal Necklace, but I thought it might be a bit too much for a low-key date night. {cv} didn't need to be blinded by my {fictitious} bling!

How do you like my purple power pop?! 

I'm so happy to be back from a crazy week--and cannot wait to catch up on all I've missed! An enormous thank you {in advance!} to all of my lovely readers joining in for Friday's Fancies this week...I always look forward to seeing what you create. 

New to Friday's Fancies?! It's easy to link up...just create an outfit that you'd love to wear for your Friday night activities if money were no object! It's helped me spend much less in the last three months and still feel connected to fashion. {You don't need fancy graphics--just the desire to create an outfit you'd love to wear! I use Adobe Illustrator now, but I started using Picasa {via Google}...but most Friday's Fancies are created via Polyvore, a super easy and super addictive fashion site.}

Enjoy your Friday--you deserve it! Much love, {av}
