Friday Fancies: Sunny Striped Skirt

This week for Friday Fancies, instead of sharing my wishlist, I wanted to share a piece that caught my eye while catching up on my DVR'ed shows. 
If you watch Glee this may look familiar, it's Kitty in the Season finale episode. 
We all know my pension for bright colors and this outfit immediately caught my attention. The monochromatic yellow outfit was perfection. And that skirt...just spoke to me. I knew I had to have it. That is until I went online and found out it was $300. So now I'm on the hunt for a similar skirt. 
After some searching, I came across a pretty similar version. What do you think?
I hope you all have a great weekend! Make sure to come back and see all the fun details from Baby Sis' Big Top 1st Birthday Bash.
And as always, Thank You for following!

WIW: Tomboy Chic

As a self proclaimed Girly Girl it's rare to catch me in something that's not feminine or flirty. But I do love this whole "borrowed from the boys" trend, everything from Boyfriend jeans to plaids and half tucked shirts. I never thought I would really be one to try this trend, but lately I've found that I'm drawn to this look. And add some sparkle to glam it up and it totally works for any Girly Girl.

Frankly, I cannot get over how comfortable I was in this outfit all day. And since I've been doing lots of party prepping for Baby Sis's first birthday party this weekend, this tomboy-ish look was perfect for running around, gathering the final pieces, and crafting.
Outfit Details:
Sweater: H&M [similar here] | Shirt: Joe Fresh for JCPenney | Shorts: Charlotte Russe [old, similar here and here] | Shoes: Simply Vera Wang [old] | Necklace: Luxe Craving | Bracelets: H&M, Groopdealz | Watch: Kenneth Cole via Nordstrom Rack [same here in rose gold] | Sunnies: Ray-Ban

And come back next week for all the details from Baby Sis's first birthday. I can't wait to share it with you all.

WIW: Seahorses + Stripes

If you've been following me on Instagram, then this top may be familiar. I recently found this adorable seahorse printed shirt at Target. I knew I just had to have it. The pink seahorses were too cute to resist. I've already found myself  wanting to wear this shirt everyday. I just can't help myself but to be drawn to this fun print, especially since I love print mixing. 
Outfit Details:
Shirt: Target | Shorts: Forever 21 [similar here] | Shoes: J. Crew [old, similar here] | Belt: taken from another dress | Bag: Hello Fab | Necklaces: Hello Fab and Groopdealz [monogram] | Bracelet: Stella & Dot | Sunnies: House of Harlow 1960 

Sorry, I don't have some better up close shots of this outfit. We were attempting to keep the girls on the lawn while taking these pictures. Haha!

Don't forget Pigtails and Pearls is finally on Facebook. With Google Reader about to say Good-Bye I wanted to give all of you some options to continue following me. I'm also on Bloglovin' so make sure to follow so we can stay connected.

Two-fer Tuesday: Neon Heels + Head Stylist

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day weekend. Celebrating Baby Sis's 1st birthday and spending time with my baby girls was the best gift I could ask for. 

This week for Two Ways Tuesday, I wanted to share 2 very different ways to pull off the neon shoe trend. My sister Tiffany actually was the inspiration for this post. She recently just got a pair and wanted me to put together some ways to wear them. So I thought I would share it with you all too since this trend seems to only be getting hotter as it's beginning to warm up. And surprisingly neon seems to go with everything. 

I personally love this trend for Summer, it's a fun way of adding color to an outfit and a bit unexpected. I've been obsessed with my Prabal Gurung for Target neon sandals since I laid eyes on them. Since the release of the Prabal Gurung collection, I've even spotted some great dupes if you weren't able to get your hands on a pair and still are looking for something similar. 

Casual in Neon
You really can't go wrong pairing a pair of neon heels with a classic tee and boyfriend jeans. The neon pumps give this otherwise Plain Jane look a sense of polish and style. Top it off with a Panama hat for Summer creating a great chic Summer daytime look and some arm candy for a little glitz. 

Speaking of arm candy, check out the pretty floral enamel bangle I'm wearing, isn't it pretty? Gina at Lotus Blossom Design and I collaborated on creating a piece that was inspired by my style. And I can't tell you how gorgeous this bangle is in person. Go and pick yourself up one at Lotus Blossom Design. I'm such a lucky girl to have such a sweet and talented friend.
Outfit Details:
Shirt: Unknown via Marshalls | Jeans: American Eagle | Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target [similar here and here] | Bag: Lockheart via Nordstrom Rack | Hat: H&M [recent, but they're selling out quickly, similar here and here] | Necklaces: Groopdealz | Bracelets: Lotus Blossom Design [collabortaion piece available here], Groopdealz | Sunnies: Coach

Brunch Attire in Neon
For a more pulled together look, I paired my neon heels with a purple shift dress and layered with a striped top. This is perfect for weekend brunching with friends and family. Don't be afraid to pair neons with other bold colors. These neon heels are less overwhelming then you would believe, and provide that little bit of surprise.
Outfit Details:
Shirt: J. Crew [on sale in stores] | Dress: Loft [old, similar here] | Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target [similar here] | Bag: Target [similar here] | Necklaces: Groopdealz | Bracelets: Groopdealz
