Wardrobe Wednesday: Jewelry

I'm back this week featuring another great statement necklace. Spectrum is a bright and colorful necklace that has seven strands of black braided thread knotted with an eclectic mix of genuine tiger's eye nuggets, shells and beads in shades of mint, turquoise, purple, peach and amber.

Spectrum is 20" long with a hematite plated 4" extender and lobster claw closure. The extender is long enough that you can noticeably shorten or lengthen the necklace to fit whatever necklace you're currently wearing. Like I said, it's a great statement piece. It has a matching set of bracelets and earrings. Although, just like the Wow Factor, I do like mixing and matching the necklace with other earrings and bracelets too. Since it's so colorful you can wear it with ANYTHING. It can instantly make your outfit POP!

Wardrobe Wednesday: Jewelry


The jewelry of the week is the Wow Factor necklace! It's a gorgeous six-strand necklace: one of creamy faux pearls, one of hammered gold plated beads, one of hammered silver plated beads, two gold plated chains and one silver plated chain. It's 18-1/2" long with a 4" extender and lobster claw closure.  There are matching earrings and bracelet.

This set is a fun twist on a regular pearls. I love that it's made with mixed metals, giving more options for the rest of your jewelry if you don't want to be too matchy-matchy. It works great with both dressy and casual outfits.

Wardrobe Wednesday

It's been a while since I've done a true Wardrobe Wednesday post. The sister and I went out on Saturday and took some outfit pictures. I borrowed her shirt that she got from Target; I might have to get my own. It's perfect for summer!

I also wore my Paige Denim boyfriend shorts that I got from our new Nordstrom Rack! They are my absolute favorite. I want to get like 6 more pairs of these shorts so I can wear them every day of the week during the summer. I wore my wedges that I also got at Nordstrom Rack. They're super comfortable and very versatile!

We had a low-key day and ended it with a graduation party. Since it was getting cooler, I changed into my boyfriend jeans that I cuffed and kept the rest of the outfit the same.

Wardrobe Wednesday: Jewelry

Today I'll be showing how to wear one necklace four different ways. Like I've said before, coming up with new ways to mix and match the jewelry is one of my favorite parts of my job.

The necklace featured today is Costa Rica. I consider it a staple in my jewelry wardrobe. It has a fun bohemian feel to it.

Costa Rica is 32" long, five-strand necklace with a 4" extender with lobster claw closure. Two strands are delicate silver chains, two strands are heavier silver chains and the final strand is made of beautiful beads.

ONE: Long

TWO: Criss-crossed (half of it doubled) with Stylin' enhancer

THREE: Long, framing the Botanical Necklace

FOUR: Doubled with Stylin' Enhancer

I've used the Stylin' enhancer for this demonstration, but I also like to use an enhancer called Silver Swirl and I've even used the Flipside's teal side [see HERE]. These are just a few ways to wear Costa Rica; there are so many more possibilites!

See me wearing Costa Rica on Day 4 (with the Silver Swirl) [HERE] and on Day 15 (with Botanical) [HERE].

Fashion Friday

Since I didn't do a jewelry post on Wednesday, I thought I'd slip one in for a Fashion Friday post. Today I'm featuring two different pieces: Cutting Edge toggle bracelet and Golden Girl pin and magnetic enhancer.

The Cutting Edge bracelet has matching earrings and a fabulous asymmetrical necklace (36"). I love the gold and silver mix. It's a great way to add either metal to your outfit. I've been using it to incorporate more gold into my outfits. I love to wear it on the same wrist as my silver watch and then add a different bracelet (silver, gold, antique brass, or beads, etc.) on the other wrist. I've never had a toggle bracelet before, so I was unsure about whether or not I should be worried about it falling off. But I've never had any problems with it. I like that it can be adjustable if I want it to be. It's 7&1/4" to 8&1/4". My favorite part is the great balance between the polished silver and the gorgeous texturized gold.

The Golden Girl pin and magnetic enhancer is similar to the Flipside enhancer I featured last week. See [HERE]. It has a magnetic closure on the back so you are able to easily add it or remove it from various chains. The difference between the Flipside and Golden Girl is that Golden Girl is also a pin. It's so versatile! It's eye-catching on a simple gold chain and looks chic on a strand of pearls. It is a bright and gorgeous textured gold with sparkling crystals in the center.

Wardrobe Wednesday: Jewelry

I'm back with another jewelry post! I promise I will get around to showing different ways to wear the pieces. I've been spending time lately mixing and matching and coming up with fun, new ideas! It's one of my favorite parts of my job, besides giving away LOTS of FREE jewelry!

The piece I'm showcasing today is called Flipside and it's in the Spring catalog. I love how versatile it is! Flipside is a magnetic enhancer that can be added to various necklace chains. The loop at the top is magnetic, so it can easily be clasped and unclasped over almost any sized chain.  I love that it's double-sided with both red and teal. It's a great statement piece for Spring and depending on what you pair it with, it can be both causal and dressy.

Wardrobe Wednesday: Jewelry

You may remember my little announcement last month [see HERE]. I've been wanting so share some of my favorite pieces of jewelry. I finally got around to taking some pictures this weekend.

Today is for the Blue Lagoon necklace. It's 36" long with a lobster claw closure. It's made with genuine mother-of-pearl and faux turquoise, glass and beads. This is perfect for spring and adds a little color to any outfit. I love the unique and gorgeous details of the beads.

See me wearing it [HERE] on Day 24.

Wardrobe Wednesday

I wore this outfit a couple Saturdays ago.  I got this top when Heather and I went thrifting last month.  I love the color and think it will be especially fun to wear this spring.  My shoes were a Christmas present from my parents.  I was totally surprised.  They're my tallest shoes.  They make me a little taller than my dad, so I'm like 6'5" in them.  Now I just need to find a guy who is taller than me when I wear them, haha.

Wardrobe Wednesday

I wore this outfit on SuperBowl Sunday to church.  You might remember my post from last year with this dress [see HERE].  I wanted to mix it so I added the cardigan and went with a black/brown combo.    I borrowed the shoes from Heather.  I'd love to get a pair of my own, I think they have them in grey.  Anyway, I loved the outfit.  I'm definitely going to find other ways to remix this dress.  It's such a great basic piece to have in your wardrobe.

Wardrobe Wednesday

I wore this outfit a week and a half ago to church with the sister.  We went to Sunday School and church, came home for a bite of lunch and then ran out for some errands.  I borrowed Heather's cardigan and boots, and my mom's necklace. This skirt had been hidden in my closet, but the sister was inspired by an outfit post on a blog she saw and pulled it out to wear to work.  I remembered how much I loved it last summer and re-worked it for winter.

Wardrobe Wednesday

It's been a while since I've done a WW post. I've been lacking inspiration with my clothes for a while. I just cleaned out my closet and I'm getting ready to do the 30x30 remix in the coming weeks. I can't wait to work with what I've got and come up with some fun outfits. I wore this outfit on Sunday to church with the sister.  I got this top on sale at Target.  I've been limiting spending, but splurged a little to add some nice tops to my wardrobe.

Wardrobe Wednesday

I wore this dress a couple Sundays ago to church. I got a giftcard from Express for my birthday and I ended up getting this dress. I had tried on a different color in the store and then decided on this one. I like it, but it kind of slinks up when I walk, like wayyyy too much. It's a little awkward trying to keep it pulled down. Bahh. Kind of frustrating. Besides all that I like how I styled it, with the statement necklace and mixing black and brown.

Wardrobe Wednesday

It's been a while since I've done a Wardrobe Wednesday post. I wore this on Sunday to church. I was running a little late and so I had to decide on an outfit fast. I love this pencil skirt from Target, partly because it has pockets and partly because it's an extra small. Don't ask me how I fit in it, but it sure makes me feel good when I wear it. Haha.

After church I changed into some boyfriend jeans, a white tank and a lace top with some black t-strap sandals. It was the perfect outfit to see Harry Potter 7 Part 2. I just with I had taken a picture of it too. Guess I'll have to save it for another post.

Wardrobe Wednesday

It's been cold here this week and I would love something like this to wear. I love the denim on denim look! I found a denim button up at Target a month or so ago, but it wasn't as fitted as this one and so I didn't get it. I really like mixing the bright colors with it. I love how they pop! The neutral ankle bootie is like the icing on the cake. I hope you're all having a great week! Happy Wednesday!

Wardrobe Wednesday: Summer Dresses

I love maxi dresses for summer! I just wish I could find some long enough for me. I think this is the only downside of being 5'10" tall. The perfect maxi dress for me would cover my ankles and probably be an empire waist. My hips are a little wider and a higher waist would emphasize the smallest part of me and draw attention away from my hips. Here are a few of my picks for summer dresses via Polyvore.
