This outfit is a quasi-repeat, as seen here. But this time, I've added a new accessory that I'm dying to share with you—this beautiful necklace. Here's how I became the owner:
In July, I went to New York for a work trip. Before heading into the city, I spent a couple of nights out in Hoboken, New Jersey with my first friend, Rachel. Like, really, my first friend who wasn't family. We've been friends since we were 5, and we are still friends. Pretty special, right?
Anyway, she has this favorite little shop she frequents just a couple doors down from her house. And we stopped in to visit with Deb and shop around. In fact, it is where I bought this gorgeous bracelet. So while we were there I spotted this necklace, and fell in love, but ultimately decided not to purchase it so that I could get the bracelet, earrings, and necklace set. Rachel has a similar necklace and later that night, she was nice enough to let me wear it out to dinner. I was still in love, but I knew I shouldn't buy any more jewelry right then.
Well a few nights ago I saw the soon-to-be-Mrs. (Rachel gets married in just a few days!) to go over some last-minute wedding details, and as a pre-wedding thank-you for my help with a couple of things, she gave me a gift—this necklace! I couldn't help but to immediately plan how I would wear it to her wedding (that post coming shortly after the wedding!) and how I would wear it to work. It is definitely a new favorite, and if you are ever in Hoboken, I highly recommend you check out Maxwell's!

What else should I try the necklace with? I'm thinking of it with jeans and a basic tee to dress up a casual look. Thoughts?
And because it is Wednesday, I'm linking up with some friends:
Gorgeous necklace, and that is so nice that your friend got it for you as a thank you gift! I love it with this outfit because these simple pieces let the necklace take center stage. I think it would also look great with a basic tee/tank top like you said, and I also think it would look great with a white button down as a way to dress up a basic/simple suit. So glad we both decided to pass on using the bubble necklace for this challenge too - I loved seeing this awesome piece! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Yah, she's quite the sweetheart! Definitely should try it with a suit - great suggestion!!
ReplyDeleteNOTHING better than a simple outfit with a little kick in the pants. This necklace perfectly suits the silhouette of the long and lean maxi and the chambray (DARK chambray is awesome here!) and black combo is perfect for the transition season. Loving it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kate! I had been looking for a darker chambray for a while and was so happy to find this one at Urban. And the necklace is an instant favorite for sure!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute outfit and that necklace totally makes it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Margaret!!
ReplyDeleteSo that's where you got that amazing bracelet!!! Great gift, I can't wait to see it on you more. And I especially can't wait to see photos of the wedding!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely post some!
