Pink and Navy
Friday, November 11, 2011Today'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.
necklace: J.Crew layered pearl (similar)
blazer: theory Bindi Tailored (similar)
cardigan: Old Navy v-neck (this season's version sold here)
ring: Amrita Singh Deauville (sold here)

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.

ReplyDeleteSeriously...I sometimes think you do J Crew better than J Crew does J Crew. I love the gingham shirt/distressed jeans paired with the blazer and pearls. Such a perfect mix of casual and classy :)
