Week's Best Looks: May 19th 2013.

Guys, this 'show' has been done a little different the last couple of weeks due to first My Birthday & then Mother's Day but here I am 3 weeks later with an Original Week's Best Looks. This week we have a lot of Maxis, both in Skirts & Dresses. Another thing we are seeing a lot this week is Cropped Pants as well as White Pants. Labor Day is almost here after all. We also have lots of Pencil Skirts, especially Blue ones. Speaking of Blue, it is the Big Color this week with its sister color Teal. But we also have plenty of Coral & Raspberry Red. And Black makes a return this week, you will see lots of Black pieces from Tops to Pants. Patterns are being mixed but we mostly see Stripes & Polka Dots (especially in Skirts), some Sequins, a couple of Ethnic/Tribal Prints & some Animal Print, as well as some Rainbow Chevron Stripes making up a Fun Cocktail Dress. Lastly, we see some Tropical Floral Prints that make us think of Hawaii. Our ladies are keeping their wrists full of Fun Bracelets, Bangles & Cuffs, with charms & mostly in Gold tones. In other Accessories we have a few Famous Bubble Necklaces & lots of Colorful Gemstone Crystal Necklaces & Earrings. Purses are either Large Leather Handbags or Fun Summery Clutches. Lots of Wedges & Sandals this week, especially in Black & Cognac Colors. Also we see many Belts, especially Skinny ones. Last but not least we have a Floppy Summer Hat & two Straw Fedoras with a Black Ribbon both of which are worn with 2 Summer Dresses. As far as names go, this week we have 3 Lauren(s) plus 3 Jessica(s), 2 Heather(s) - both of which had 2 Great Looks that I loved this week, 2 Katie(s) & 2 Megan(s). While a few weeks back I welcomed 14 ladies in this Feature, today I also welcome 14 Bloggers here. As usual, I would love for you to link back to this post if one or several of your looks are featured. Thanks so much. It is the kind thing to do. =)

This Week's Best/Most Favorite Outfit is MOLLY of Stilettos and Diapers.

She is calling this Outfit "Navy Loves Yellow" and I agree with her 100%. This Gorgeous Nautical-Inspired White+Navy, Halter-Style Dress w/ a Fun Ruffle cascading down the front is Crisp, Chic & Elegant paired with the Classic White Blazer. But it is her Accessories that make it more Fun & Girly & add to the Nautical theme: Fun Gold Bracelets including an Anchor one, Large Fabulous Sunglasses, Cognac Ostrich Purse & Simply Gorgeous Yellow Stilettos. She looks Stunning Head to Heel!

Best Dressed this week is CHRISTINA of Simple Easy Style whose choice of Shorts, Black & Cognac Sandals, Beautiful Ivory Clutch, Classic Black Blazer & multiple uses of the Color Coral, as well as that Fabulous Retro Sheath, had me at hello. All of these Outfits prove that she does indeed have Simple, Easy Style & looks Terrific in all these Simple, Easy (and Colorful) pieces.

From Left to Right, Top to Bottom.
This Geometric Print, Coral Dress Outfit was the result of an impulse purchase but the Dress is so Pretty & Sophisticated, I get it. In her Blog she pairs it with a Classic Black Blazer by one of her Favorite Fashion Icons, Lauren Conrad.
The Coral Jeans Outfit was indeed inspired by Lauren Conrad. Paired with a Sheer, Off-White Blouse, Gorgeous Woven Clutch & Stunning Cognac Wedges she looks Chic yet Sexy.
1st pair of Shorts are White and they look Incredibly Cute paired with Black & Royal Blue. The Awesome Bronze Bag by Francesca & Gorgeous T-Strap Cognac/Gold Stilettos are great with this outfit.
Obsession over this Coral Maxi is definitely excused. It looks Lovely with a Plain White, V-Neck Tee. The Slouchy Bag, Woven Belt, Chain Necklace & Black Wedges are great extras to complete it.
This Girly Little White Dress is from Old Navy, so Cute, so Pretty with the Lace detail & it looks so expensive too, like something from J Crew. She smartly paired it with a Popular Denim Vest & Booties for some Country flair.
The Blue Print Shorts & Coral Sleeveless Shirt look so Chic together & make an unexpected Beautiful Color Combination. Once again Christina adds her Ivory Clutch & Cognac Wedges.
The last pair of Shorts are of an Ethnic Print & once again remixed with her Favorite Black Blazer & Black Flat Sandals. Loving the Coral Bubble Necklace & Classic Gold Watch with this.

My Own Best Looks of the Week (it's a Tie) between this Polka Dot Skirt and this Navy Metallic, Tweed Skirt. It seems like you My Readers/Followers also enjoyed both of this Looks & Liked these 2 Skirts the most out of all the ones I had for Skirts Week. Skirt Week continues Tomorrow with 2 New, Girly Short Skirts, never prior worn on the blog. =)

I like the 1st Outfit because I am wearing one of my Lovely Skirts that features Polka Dots and it is Classic, Elegant yet Girly & Fun. The Skirt is paired with a Purple Button-down and both pieces were neglected for far too long in my closet. I am glad I am wearing them and it seems like a lot of you like them paired together. I got many compliments on this outfit.

I like the 2nd Outfit because at first appearance it looks Black+White but there is some Navy & Silver in the mix too. The Skirt is Cute & Elegant, in a Tweed Metallic Pattern. And once again I am wearing Ballet Flats (this Black Pair is a Favorite of mine, because they are so Cute, Comfy & Versatile) and my hair is pulled back in a Low Bun.

SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK OF THIS WEEK'S LOOKS?

P.S. Today, I am also linking up with Leeann, Carissa and Logan.
