It’s Best Friend Day and there’s lots of cliche, mushy, gushy things I could say about friendship to celebrate. However, I think I’ve actually figured out how to tell if it’s a real deal friendship with two questions: are they your soulmate and are they your family? If the answer is yes, you’ve got yourself a BFF. In my experience having a friend who’s a bit like the best boyfriend you’ve ever had and whole lot like your sister is the BEST, best friend mix. Wanna meet mine?
Meet Delee! Even though we’ve been best friends for 12 years, it seems like just yesterday that we met in high school.
Now, I’ve never been great at long distance relationships, but somehow after moving to NYC for college and staying for work, we only grew closer! It’s as if distance couldn’t keep us apart. So when I heard Best Friend Day was coming up, I knew I had to get my girl to the city for a photo shoot to celebrate! We’ve teamed up with Fashion to Figure to share three different looks with you. Here goes nothing!
For our daytime look we decided to take on denim, a rarity for me, but I’m so glad we did! What are friends for, if not to push you outside your comfort zone?
Here’s a better look at what Delee is wearing:
This shirt from Fashion to Figure is the perfect pair with jeans. The ribbed texture and keyhole back pull the whole piece together.
Sometimes a pair jeans are just magic, like these railroad striped boyfriend jeans (I mean, look at that booty!) - pair with a fun metallic sandal for the ultimate summer vibe.
I decided to draw inspiration from Delee’s demin and go for these high waisted shorts!
My favorite part about these shorts is all of the buttons, so this was the absolute perfect top to pair with them. A white flowy top is ideal in the summertime and this one still shows off the hardware!
This outfit was just begging for a hat to top it all off, so of course I obliged!
When Fashion to Figure challenged us to take on the same item I knew this would be fun! We decided to go with The Everyday Flare Dress in different colors. This dress is perfect on it’s own or layered with a denim trench!
When it comes to going out, I think my favorite part is picking out something killer to wear and getting ready. Throwing on some jams and glaming with your girls is half the fun, if not more!
First up is Delee’s look, which I’m coveting hardcore!
You can’t go wrong with all black everything, and this take is ultra chic!
The caged mesh shirt Delee is wearing from FTF, is one of my favorite pieces we shot. Paired with this full skirt, is still reads as classy yet with an edge.
Since I usually find myself in an all black ensemble, like Delee’s, I wanted to go for something colorful and/or with a fun pattern. Looks like I found both!
As much as I love a maxi dress, I prefer separates even more! This amazing top and skirt play well together as well as on their own.
The movement in the sleeves of this top makes for an epic look while the slit in the skirt adds a bit of interest as you flash a little leg. I’m into it!
This was by far, one of my most favorite projects! Can’t wait to celebrate 13 years of friendship next year. How are you celebrating your BFF today?
