friday's fancies #27.

Happy Friday, everyone! I don't know about you, but this week has flown by for me...and I'm not complaining one bit. I'm always happy to see Friday roll around thanks to Friday's Fancies :) It's hard for me to believe this is the 20th link-up! I'm so grateful to have a slew of you who love this idea as much as I do and I'll be forever grateful for your blog love...I truly have the best readers ever!

Tonight, {cv} and I will be hopping a plane to DC. {DC bloggers: I wanted to host a meet-up this time around, but I'm at the mercy of {cv}'s schedule...so I promise a rendez-vous on my next trip!} We're heading to Georgetown to celebrate {cv}'s fifth college reunion--and of course, I have to be pulled-together and styled arm candy ;) If money were no object, you'd find me in this get-up below...

1) When planning an outfit for a big function, you have two choices: you can be demure or you can stand out. This Tibi One-Shoulder Silk-Habotai Dress would certainly stand out. The bold color and the flowy feel have me itching to hang this in my closet.
2) There is something about a classic clutch which will always call my name. Whiting & Davis does it again with this Crystal Accent Minaudiere--it has delicate detail on the edges and it would certainly up the elegance factor in this outfit!
3) Being a May baby, I'll always be a fan of green gems, so these Bounkit Green Onyx Drop Earrings provided a great contrast {at least in my opinion!} against the vibrant yellow.
4) Though I certainly love Christian Louboutin, I wanted to go a different route this time. I spied these Rupert Sanderson Chastity Nude Patent Peep Toe Pumps and loved the slightly lower sides, which made them just a touch sexy without going over the top.
5) Tying it all together, this Rodrigo Otazu Yellow Moonstone Colored Stone Cuff provided that statement piece which really stole the show. I love how it works perfectly with the earrings and the dress!

In the summer, do you wear nude pumps as a universal shoe like me? 

What bold color combinations have you been longing to try?

Thrilled as always to see what you lovely ladies create for today! Be sure to add a comment to the Whiting & Davis giveaway post if you add one of their handbags in your Friday's Fancies. Winning a handbag {without limits on price} is totally in line with the goal of Friday's Fancies! You can dream big and not worry about pricetags :) If you have any questions {or are having trouble commenting--thanks blogger}, please feel free to email me! And to the Friday's Fancies faithful, thanks again for taking the time to dream up your post this week! Happy weekend :) xoxo {av}
