Friday's Fancies: Spring Fever



Woohoo for Friday!! Today I am linking up with Alison from Long Distance Loving for her Friday's Fancies series. There are so many wonderful links being posted, be sure to go over and check them out! This week's theme is "Spring Fever". I don't know about you, but this mild winter we've been having has got me dreaming of spring extra early this year.


Coral is by far one of my favorite colors right now. I see it everywhere, I like it everywhere. When I found this picture on Pinterest, I knew that the search for this dress had begun. I've tracked it down to Mango's spring collection, but is is not available on their site yet.


Thus, I have come up with my own day-to-night creation that is very similar. I am always such a sucker for stripes, so it is no surprise that I am already dreaming of wearing brightly colored stripes this spring.

This is a very simple dress that can easily be dressed up or down. I can see it easily being worn during the day, then sprucing it up at night with a belt and heels. It would also be a versatile piece to take on your spring break trip. There are tons of striped dresses out there right now, but of course I like the pink best. Have a fantastic weekend!

..........

Don't forget that Sunday is the day that Jason Wu's collection debuts at Target!

    That dress in your original picture is just amazing! So pretty. The one in your look is cute too, but I like something about the texture of the original one.

    Totally agree... this dress can be styled so many different ways. Even with a cargo vest over! Great MANGO find.

    Even though I blogged about it, I ended up forgetting about it. The Superbowl going on and all, my mind was not on Jason Wu. When I realized that we were Feb5, I rushed online but could not find what I reallly wanted. What a bummer. I did not purchase anything but the Giants won. What a stressful game to watch.
    Maybe we can follow each other?

    I bought a fun (and very comfy) blue striped dress last year from J.Crew and wore it to death. A pink one may be perfect to buy next. ;)
