Invested

Vests are one of those pieces that didn't interest me forever (except sweater vests; sweater vests will always interest me) and then, suddenly, I couldn't resist them.  This navy blue number represents my latest lack of willpower:

Vest: Topshop via Nordstrom  Tee: LOFT (similar)
Jeans: Gap  Sandals: Steve Madden (save) (splurge)

I mean, come on, no one really expects that I'll be able to resist a vest in blue, right?  Good, I should hope not.


I also can't seem to resist wearing these shoes:

It's just that they're remarkably comfortable.  Also, I like to pretend I wore them to mirror the stripes in my shirt.  I did not, but that's why they call it pretend.


In neutral outfit like this, I figure I had to have some color, so I added my Sylca Designs necklace:

Necklace: c/o Sylca Designs (sold out, I like this one too)

I think it's just the perfect pop of color for wearing with my navy vest.

See?  The perfect pop.


Happy Wednesday, All!

Stripes and a Sylca Designs Review

I was recently contacted by Sylca Designs with the offer to do a review of one of their pieces of jewelry.  And once I visited their site, I knew I was going to take them up on that offer.  Their jewelry is everything I like in my accessories: big, bold and bright:

Best of all, though, the jewelry is designed by the mother and daughter team of Sylvia and Camila Echavarria to be made from recycled wood, natural fibers and coconut shell so it's very lightweight.  I really do love chunky necklaces, but sometimes they can be too heavy to wear all day, especially when paired with another chunky piece.


But, not this necklace.  This necklace is the perfect weight and I wore it easily all day long:

I love that despite the necklace's light weight, it's still substantial.  It's a very striking piece and one that more than held it's own against the combination of stripes and faux leather I wore it with:

Bottom line, I love this necklace and I'm probably going to wear it all the time.  You've been warned.
