As we discussed earlier on the blog today, I adhere to the old saying "When in doubt, turquoise." This is especially true of my earring choices. I'll pretty much put turquoise, or turquoise-colored, earrings with anything.
So, for today's Five for Friday, I thought I'd share five pairs of turquoise earrings that will go with everything. Every. Thing.
1. 925 Sterling Silver Earrings - As you can see, these earrings are turquoise and then some, but that makes them all the more versatile. Trust me; I was gifted a similar pair and they really do go with everything.
3. Frieda Rothman Triangle Stud Earrings - If the above earrings are still too big for you, we need to have a talk. And in that talk I'll recommend that you try this Frieda Rothman pair. They may be small, but the turquoise really pops against the black so they're not boring.
4. Adia Kibur Maya Earrings - Turquoise and fringe are a match made in boho heaven. And who doesn't want to visit boho heaven?
5. Kate Spade New York Cluster Stud Earrings - If you prefer your turquoise on the sparkly side, these earrings are for you. The turquoise-colored stones are paired with rhinestones to add the perfect pop of shiny color.
What about you, Reader Friends? Do you subscribe to the "When in doubt, turquoise" school of thought?
Boot season is here! Okay, not really. Well, sort of. In the mornings it's chilly, but then it gets hot and my feet sweat. But, it's totally worth the sweaty feet to be back in boots.
And I thought that these boots, in particular, were a good pick for fall:
Their "fallen leaf" color brings a little autumn to the otherwise summery combination of olive, cream and turquoise.
And I had to wear the turquoise:
One, because I love this piece, and two, because I'm trying to wear all of my necklaces before I begin to default to scarves. Because here in PA it's not just a month or two of scarves, it's like half a damn year.
But, for now, the weather is perfect for statement necklaces. And boots, of course:

Mostly because the dress is racer back and although the only summer-wear we've been cautioned against at work are cut-offs and tube tops, I have my doubts about the professionalism of a racer back dress. So, I layer it with vests.
Last time it was a flowing cream vest. Today it is this olive vest:
Speaking of this olive vest, I was worried that it was too short for my long-ish torso, but it works better on me than I'd hoped. It also looks good with my chunky LOFT necklace:
I love the combination of olive and turquoise. And angel wings:
Sssshhh. Don't say anything about them. My thighs have no idea. You see, my thighs have been partying since the World Cup began; they are huge fans of any sport where the athletes have big thighs. You should see them during Olympic speed-skating; it's a non-stop Bacchanal in The Republic of Thighastan.
Anyway, while my thighs were sleeping off their "holy shit I can't believe Spain went out like that" bender, I snuck them into some light wash jeans:
Of course, they will notice eventually and they're going to be pissed, but I figure they'll forget about this little incident as soon as Uruguay and England step on the pitch.
In the meantime, I'm wearing light wash jeans:
