Pink and Navy
Today's outfit is once again inspired by none other than my favorite retailer, J.Crew. I've been seeing a lot of intertwined pearl necklaces and wanted something similar. I looked through my ever-growing stash of costume jewelry and figured I could try creating my own. I took a long multi-layered necklace, knotted the longer ends, then wrapped them up and around the shorter ones, twisting as I went. The result? A shorter, messily wrapped necklace that felt at home with my distressed jeans.

Love how this is casual yet pulled together at the same time...great job mixing styles!
ReplyDeleteYou look like you stepped out of a J.Crew catalog Cee! Love the layers and the pearls. Fab look!
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the layers+blazer look. That pink gingham makes the whole thing really pop. :)
ReplyDeleteAww...you got the Theory Bindi in navy! I'm regretting not picking that color up when the blazer was around. Now I'm looking for a nice navy blazer and can't find any in that same fitted shape. Love that color combo!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!
ReplyDeleteI was in J. Crew today and thought of you...I tried on a hot pink v-neck. Did not get it...went for black and navy! :p I will keep an eye out for a sale, though! :)
Great job on the DIY necklace! Pink and navy are so much fun together.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've gotten the hang of using your camera, too. :)
Blazer fits so well on you! Great idea on the necklace altho I would probably have a difficult time unknotting mine.
ReplyDeleteYour DIY looks great! I love when you try out different J. Crew looks esp. since I heart your preppy looks :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pink gingham and navy blazer paired together and your DIY necklace is beyond fantastic! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI went to an event for J Crew last week and let's just say that the necklaces were killer. I constantly draw inspiration from their catlogue. They had stacked all kinds of crazy necklaces together with great results. Which I will try to replicate this week!!
ReplyDeleteI love the mix of everything in this outfit. The layers and colours are great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic look! So casual, yet elegant!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the necklace and layering!
ReplyDelete<3 this! Looks very causal but still well put together!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this outfit, Cee! That pink gingham shirt is amazing and I <3 the boyfriend jeans! x
ReplyDeleteoh my the shirt is amazing...perfect perfect I never knew navy and pink would look so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your kind words :)
ReplyDelete@Alterations Needed - So sorry to hear you're looking for this blazer. This is my one and only theory blazer and I can't believe I was thinking of passing it up when I saw it at the outlets awhile back. Good thing my cousin talked me out of it, haha. I'll keep my eyes out for any slim fitting navy blazers :)
@Michelle - Neon pink? The color is surprisingly versatile, imo (if you need any enabling) ;)
@Carrie - Oh man, I'm still a camera n00b. If the pictures turn out decent, it's a combination of luck + right lighting :D
@Canadianpetite - Haha, I did have to be careful when untangling the strands. So far no problems though *knocks on wood*
@SewPetiteGal - Have you seen prepfection?! Oh my god, I went through every.single.page over the weekend and it reminded me why preppy styles will always be my one true love, lol!
@Noelani - Can't wait to see! I heart J.Crew catalogs.
I'm a new follower to your blog and I love it! You have such great style. I can't wait to see your newest posts.
