Hello, fabulouses, and welcome to the 2014 J.CREW CHALLENGE! Ahh!

Can you believe it is finally here! Oh, it’s as exciting as Christmas morning. You know there are presents under the tree…you can see them…you can count how many…BUT you do not know what’s inside. Oh, decorating my apartment for Christmas is going to be so much fun! I think I want a navy blue tree with silver and gold decorations! Wouldn’t that be fab!

Okay–I am so sorry, y’all…I am quite distracted today. Perhaps three Pumpkin Spice Lattes were two cups too many *wink* Now, before I get distracted by something else, let’s take a look at the FIRST outfit of the 2014 J.Crew Challenge. Whoo hoo!

VIP Gap Top Challenge

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the Gap Top Challenge!

TGIF! A fabulous Friday calls for a fabulous outfit challenge *wink*
For this Gap Top post, I took three of my favorite Gap tops on Polyvore and paired them with cute bottoms + accessories to create three different outfits that are perfect for campus, coffee, and date night!
Now, while I go binge out on this marathon of Friends, y’all take a look at the outfit details!

Gap Top Challenge: Outfit 6, Coral Is the New Black

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the Gap Top Challenge!

Instead of “Orange is the new black”, I say “Coral is the new black”…simply because orange is not a very flattering color on me *wink* 

I love this particular Gap Top Challenge outfit because it can easily be dressed up and down in a snap! I sported this top on campus today with a long BluKatDesign knob necklace and Vans sneakers, then I dressed it up with some bright mint kitten heels and an infinity scarf for coffee! Wowza! Who would have thought that such a simple coral tee would have so much style versatility *wink*

Now, while I go gear up for for the long weekend, y’all take a the look at the awesome outfit details of the sixth VIP Gap Top Challenge :)
