Friday Fancies : Style Crush

I am contemplating a pair of leather shorts that can easily transition into the fall.

While the length on Ms. Palermo's are far too short for me; I love the look of an airy sweater layered over them. 

The bag adds just the right amount of interest. 

1. While this sweater doesn't share the same high low hemline (which I love) it gives a similar feeling of ease. All about the 3/4 sleeve but not a huge fan of the v-neck. I might layer a round neck tank underneath it. 

2. These Helmut Lang leather shorts are perfection. I love the length, love the drawstring and the washed leather looks so soft and fluid.

The drawstring adds a casual feel and I can easily see these with an opaque tight worn well into the fall. {less expensive options (+ non leather) here + here}

3. Crochet/straw bag. The leather straps on this {on a 50% sale + only left in bright pink} one make it less casual.

4. Leopard print pumps. Because they go with everything. The new neutral? I think so.

5. These tortoise shell sunglasses are a wonderfully flattering shape; I just love the thicker, more substantial frame. And the price is definitely right. 

6. A bold link bracelet via Asos brings a nice pop of gold to this otherwise fairly neutral outfit. 

Are you on the gold bandwagon yet? I find I'm buying less and less silver toned jewelry. 

6. A smaller watch. Different for me as I am all about a large, almost manly style face. 

I love the tortoise accents on this one by Fossil. 

Happy Friday!
