Make a Statement

Chambray Top-F21

Black Skinnies-Target

Necklace-Anthropologie

Oxfords-UO

For how obsessed I am with this statement necklace I am not sure why I don't wear it more often. It is so unique and eclectic, making any not-so-interesting or casual outfit a little more special. When throwing on this chambray top and black skinnies, I knew it would do the trick! My favorite part is the blue and coral gems and the pretty silk wrapped beads.

Do you ever have on of those weekend days where you are literally running errands all day, and upon getting home finally, you wonder how said errands took so long?!? Well, yesterday I had one of those days. I left home around 2pm and didn't get home till about 9 o'clock in the evening! I was pooped!

Thankfully, I took these photos at the beginning of the day and not at the end...or you would all be enjoying some photos of me laying on the couch, with wrinkled clothes and a sandwich in my hand.

I hope you all are having a great weekend! Do you have any specific accessories you like to add to a simple outfit to make it a little more interesting?!

I Never Wanna Grow Up

I have been dying to have a piece of clothing with a peter pan collar foreverrrr.

So, the moment I saw this top a few weeks ago, I fell in love and had to have it.

 Whenever I see or think of a peter pan collar, I inevitably think of the Disney movie, Peter Pan, that I loved so much when I was a child....hence the title of this post... 

Cardigan:F21

Top: Fred Meyer of all places! (Yeah, crazy I know! haha)

Skinnies: Target

Shoes:UO

Cameo Necklace:Gift from Mom

Isn't this fall scenery amazing?! While on our never ending search for colorful fall foliage, we stumbled upon this gem literally a BLOCK from our apartment....a block! We had been driving around all this time searching for places like this and it was so close all along...*sigh*.

Anyway, I love this top so much. It is so pretty, delicate and perfect and I can't wait to pair it with something else other than pants. As I have said many times on here before, I am not much of a pants wearer and I much prefer dresses/skirts. 

Well, I so desperately wanted to wear this top and really didn't have anything else to pair it with other than these black skinnies, so I just went for it. It works, but I can't wait till I get some Birthday $$$ in a few weeks to find something else for it, along with other wish list items :)

-Random Story/Tidbit-

Yesterday, I was doing our weekly grocery shopping at Whole Foods.

While meandering around the vast and beautifully displayed produce section, oohing and awing at all the various fruits and veggies, I stumbled upon a woman with neither pants nor a bra on.

It was awkward and uncomfortable but I couldn't look away.

It killed the feel good vibe I had going on, and throughout the entire time I was shopping, I couldn't get the image out of my mind.

I kept thinking to myself, "Maybe she had shorts on under that long, purple t-shirt?"

But then came to the conclusion that those shorts would have had to been pretty short and then whats the point of wearing any at all once people already assume you have none on?

hahahah :) Hope that entertained you for a bit....

Elephants Never Forget

Loving all things animal, I immediately gravitated towards this elephant necklace while shopping a few weeks back. Upon trying it on, I wasn't very impressed. The length of the chain made it lay at an awkward spot, I didn't particularly like the silver chain that it came with and it had a cool eye charm on it but it was placed oddly and laid near the colar bone area.  

I was pretty bummed out, but then I had a lightbulb moment and realized how simple it would be to switch out the chain for a shorter, gold chain that I already owned.

So I took out my little pliers and waalaa...love.

I didn't take a before photo of my little project, but here is the chain and cute little charm that unfortunately didn't make it back on the new chain because it looked weird.

After:

(Ohhh and I kept that little pretty blue charm on)

Necklace:AE

I can't wait to wear this and can't get enough of the Indian inspired style of this little guy... :)

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
