Pom Pom Peplum

Now, I know it might seem odd to have a favorite trim, but I do.  It's pom poms, followed closely by rick-rack.  Given my love for pom pom trim, this eShakti blouse was essentially destined to be mine:

Cutest damned peplum ever, right?   I mean.  Pom poms, people.  Pom. Poms.

Seriously, I know it's kind of ridiculous, but it's mostly awesome and it makes me so very happy:

And I got it on sale, so it's even better!  Unfortunately, it looks as though this particular blouse is sold out, but this one is awfully similar and one could easily add the pom poms.

My only concern with this top is that it's pretty sheer.  Especially the lace panels up the sides, but I think it worked okay layered over a white tank that wasn't too much shorter than the blouse itself.  I also wore micro-check pants from Gap and Nine West leopard print flats:

Because leopard and pom poms were meant to go together.

Happy Tuesday, All!

Pompoms and Lace

I have been eyeballing the FRANKIE necklaces from Etsy vendor, NestoftheBluebirds, for a couple of months now and finally pulled the trigger on this one:

And I love it.  Really, the only reason it took me so long to order is because it comes in quite a few color combinations and I didn’t know which one to choose.  I’m very happy with my choice though; the two neon poms  at the ends clenched it for me. 

I especially like the scale of it.  I like that it has pompoms, not POMPOMS.  It’s a good way for me to incorporate a little of the “global chic” trend into my wardrobe in a manner that compliments my style as opposed to overpowering it. 

Today I paired the necklace with a simple, cream lace sweatshirt (Macys) and burgundy cords (Banana Republic).  This lets the necklace be the star.  I also added blue leopard flats (Nine West “Naughty”) because 1) I love burgundy and blue and 2) it picks up the blue from the necklace tying the whole look together.   

That’s right, not all of my outfits are happy accidents; sometimes I actually think things through!

Happy Friday, Everyone!
