friday's fancies #38.

I may not be in school anymore, but it doesn't mean I don't adore the idea of back to school fashion. For that reason, creating a Friday's Fancies around what I'd sport on my first day of school was a no brainer--since it's all about dreaming! If I was still in school, I think my back to school best would look something like the outfit you see below...

1) Admittedly, the pretty purple of the Marc by Marc Jacobs tote prompted my obsession with violet this week. These Wendy Mink Amethyst Stud Earrings would add a necessary pop of color and some excitement to this outfit!

2) It may look simple, but this Marc by Marc Jacobs Victorian Tee Blouse would be the ideal blank canvas for the bold leopard scarf. I especially loved the beautifully simple Peter Pan collar.

3) A little leopard never hurt anyone, right? I think this By Malene Birger Kashimo Animal-Print Wool Scarf would make a statement in a fun and fabulous way.

4) I'm not normally one for black jeans, but I couldn't help but fall in love with these 7 for All Mankind Mid-Rise Bootcut Jeans. The best part? They look like normal jeans, not cheesy '80s black denim!

5) Statement bags like this Marc by Marc Jacobs Lucy Ostrich-Effect PVC Tote can make an outfit--and quite an impression {like I'd want on the first day of school!}. I don't know if I could ever pull it off carrying a bag like this, but in my Friday's Fancies, I can ;) 

6) To add a little edge to this get-up, I included this Gorjana Parker Leather Wrap Bracelet. This beauty could easily transition from a hard day at the books to a night out with friends, if I was lucky enough to still in school, of course.

7) These J.Crew Oxford Ballet Flats bring my preppy side to life in this outfit. I like that they're a modern twist on such a classic style. I'm sold!

What was your most memorable outfit from the first day of a school year? 
{I sported a striped boatneck tee to my first day of high school--and I'll never forget it!
It was also the first day I rocked mousse properly in my unruly curls...oh, the memories.}
