Chambray and Pearls

I recently had a Premier Jewelry party and got a LOT of free jewelry! (Full post about that soon) One of the pieces I got is a really long strand of mint green beads. I already had a long strand of pearls from there. At the party Michelle (the jewelry lady) showed us how you can twist the two necklaces together to make a short chunky necklace. I loved the look and have been dying to try it myself! The other day I decided to wear my necklaces to church. I wasn't sure what to pair them with, but I decided on my chambray shirt. I liked that the necklaces looked pretty dressy, but the chambray shirt made them a little more casual. I also rolled the sleeves of my shirt up to make it not so uptight. I wore my black pencil skirt and gray booties with the outfit. The weather was pretty warm, and I really wanted to go without tights, but my legs are just too ghostly white. (Katie gave me some tanning minutes which I cannot wait to use!) So...I had to wear my black tights. I was really pleased with the way the necklaces turned out though, and am looking forward to trying them in different ways.

What I Wore Wednesday...A Versatile Necklace

This necklace that I got from  Body Central has been a favorite.  I've always loved the look of pearls, and this necklace with pearls and silver ball clusters all over it caught my eye and it has turned out to be pretty versatile!  I pull it out often when I'm dressing up and when I'm dressing down.

I love wearing the outfit above because of the mixing of patterns.  I have loved this sheer button up top from JC Penney, and I've worn it in the summer and winter (I shared it here on my personal blog what seems like forever ago).  I feel like the necklace is the perfect piece to pull it all together.

I also wore this necklace a couple of weeks ago to church on a Sunday morning with a new peplum top I had gotten.

I actually took this picture a few days after the Sunday that I wore the outfit, and I was amused by the fact that as I looked through my iPhone pictures, I found that my 4 year old had caught a picture of me on the day I actually wore this outfit...

I love the randomness that I find on my phone every time one of my children has had it for any length of time!

Merry Christmas!

How exciting is it that it's Christmas week?! We are busy cherishing special memories! I thought I would stop by & show you a quick picture of a Christmas outfit.

This red satin shirt I have had from Charlotte Russe for 7-8 years!, this black sweater I got from Old Navy, the plaid skirt is from Ross, the booties are from Ross & my pearls are from Burlington Coat Factory! 

I hope you have a blessed Christmas with your family celebrating the birth of Jesus!

Navy & White

  Today's post was supposed to be about 2 things : Navy & Maxi Dresses! What's funny is that Katie's post was exactly that yesterday! So, I changed mine up a bit! First, I will show this navy lace dress that I love! I've had it for about 3 years now. I bought it at Stein Mart for $12. I paired it with my trusty pearls & nude wedges! (My crazy face is b/c my wonderful husband was driving me insane since I asked him to take my photo for the week! Good times! :))

   Now, the 2nd outfit is an all white outfit paired with neutral. Just a soft, mellow outfit. 

   The shirt is from Ross ($4.99), the shorts were from Ross ($6.99-which I got a few years ago & felt they were too short so I won't be wearing these anymore), the purse from Goodwill ($4), the shoes, necklace & earrings match perfectly but were bought separately. I cannot remember where I got either of them! :( 

Hope you are enjoying your summer! :)

Hot Pink Dress & Black & White Dress

   This week for church I knew I wanted to wear more of a fun dress! Like I've said, I love pulling out old dresses & spicing them up a bit. I have always loved this dress that I've had for about 4 or 5 years from Ross of course! I just wanted to wear it a little differently so I put this turquoise necklace with it that my mom got me from Walmart for $5. The black heels I wore I got from Ross about 3 years ago & the turquoise purse was from Plato's Closet a few years ago.

   

Last week for church I went for a more classy dress style. It was so fun having Katie & her family in Texas visiting! (You may have seen this dress Katie posted on the blog last week...I loved her dress! She wore it so well!) I got this dress from Ross 4 years ago for Jenna's baby dedication! It's a very special dress to me! I can't remember where I got my pearl necklace but I wear it all the time! 

I LOVE dressing for Sunday's! I love dresses & I love Sunday's! :) Hope you have a Terrific Tuesday!
