Knowing I wanted to try to work in accessories more, today I picked a pinspiration with the accessories built in.
- Pinspiration
- pink blouse – Banana Republic
- teal bubble necklace – One of those facebook deals you see people claiming (only $12!!)
- grey shetland wool skirt – Talbots
- black patent flats – Stuart Weitzman
- coral cuff – Ann Taylor Loft (I think…it was a long time ago)
I love the pink and turquoise combo and would not have tried the pairing on my own. The blouse looks more orange in my photo but its a strawberry pink in person. I also struggled, like Rebecca, with a cute pose. This pose isn’t very flattering now that I see it, with my hand pulling on the skirt instead of casually hooked in the pockets (which is what I was going for).
I loved hearing how y’all store your jewelry and your personal philosophy on what to put on in a hurry. I tried to incorporate it this morning but I managed to pick up and promptly break two pieces of jewelry this morning! The elastic on a beaded bracelet was apparently so old it just snapped as soon as I tried to put it on. And my pink pearl earrings broke away from the studs when I went to put them on. Double fail! But it also showed me that I really don’t use most of my jewelry – I go to the same 5 or 6 pieces – so much so that they are falling into disrepair and I don’t even know it! I plan on spending some time this week to organize, clean, polish, and repair so that I can start using it all more often.

Sorry that they broke, hopefully you can get them fixed!!
thanks! earrings are repaired (Tom had to do it since I am not allowed to use super glue after the last time…had glue on my fingers for weeks!) but I might need some help with the bracelet. Will bring with me to ATL.
