friday's fancies #60.

I can't believe it, but here we are...a year into Friday's Fancies link-ups! From 6 to 102 bloggers, this incredible journey exceeded any of my wildest dreams! It has been amazing to watch this little idea grow into something bigger. I truly cannot thank you all enough for helping to make this "dreaming big" revolution happen. I cannot wait to see what the second year of Fancies brings.

This week, I thought it was time to exercise our creativity even more--by reworking an outfit you've seen across the blogosphere or pinterest into one of your own :) Jessica Alba inspired my outfit below...it is chic and sophisticated without being overdone. I hope you like it!

1) It doesn't get any more basic than a white v-nekc, but when it's by James Perse, it definitely ups the ante. I have a few of these Short-Sleeved V-Neck Tees in my closet from my retail days--and they're still my favorite.

2) These bold Oliver Peoples Eyewear Kosslyn Polarized Cat Eye Sunglasses create a fabulous impression from your first glance. I loved the touch of silver to keep them from overwhelming the face.

3) I wish my wardrobe could contain an endless supply of blazers like this one from Girl. by Band of Outsiders. You can amp up the chic factor over a basic white tee and not think twice ;)

4) Big enough for almost anything, this Marc Jacobs The Wellington Bag would make for a stunning addition to my handbag collection. I know our rent needs to be paid, but...

5) Kenneth Jay Lane stunned me {literally} with this Cubic Zirconia Necklace. I like that it isn't your basic diamond necklace and has a bit of an edge. I envision it layered with a number of other necklaces in my jewelry box, if it ever showed up on my doorstep!

6) Red pants make a statement and these Rag & Bone Skinny Corduroy Pants certainly do the trick. They take this black and white look to a whole new level.

7) Though I don't have the courage to rock these Maison Martin Margiela Leather Wedge Ankle Boots, I knew they were the perfect choice to round out this get-up. Who wouldn't love a little boost?

Jessica Alba makes a perfect muse, if you ask me. I hope I can look that put together after two little ones! She doesn't overcomplicate things and I adore her for that. I may never have her wardrobe, but I can certainly dream up my own versions of her outfits, right?! ;)
