Pearls Are Always A Good Idea

Happy Wednesday, everyone! If there is one combination that will forever remind me of Parisian chic women, it’s a striped sweater, black skirt (or pants!) with a red lip and strand of pearls. This particular outfit also has an Audrey Hepburn feel to it. The obvious stand out detail of this look is the abundance of pearls adorning not one item, but four in total! The phrase more is more certainly applies here. Each piece works together, without being over the top, to bring an elegant feel and nod to the 1950s.

Jackie Kennedy famously said, “pearls are always appropriate,” and I quite agree. A black circle skirt and striped sweater are classic pieces that can be worn effortlessly and with a variety of outfits. They are staples in any woman’s closet blending in seamlessly throughout the decades. Adding pearls to each item, in a tasteful manner, elevates and makes them stand out from the crowd. I love how the sweater from Chicwish has three strands of pearls along the neckline almost as if it were a necklace. The quality of the sweater is top notch with a heavy fabric and true sizing. The circle skirt has the pearls only in the front and sparingly so, which I appreciate. The sizing for the skirt also runs true to size. The blush clutch, which I got on sale, is the prettiest shade of blush and has gorgeous big pearls dotted along the front flap. It also comes in black.

Oh the gloomy days of winter. We've been having ice storms, rain storms, and a slushy mess for the past few days. I tend to gravitate towards darker clothing when the weather gets like this, but I also love to add in that pop of color to brighten up the look and add some pizazz. I will note right off the bat that this plaid shirt was the vain of this shoot haha. I threw it in the dryer and ironed it to get the wrinkles out, but it STILL wrinkled. Talk about annoying and a pain in the you know what. This woolrich coat has lately been my go-to for running out the door. I love how bright and happy the color makes me and that its nice to layer sweaters under. One of my favorite items here is the doubled layered skirt. It has a mini under layer with a full pleated outer layer. It's on e of those skirt that will go with just about anything in your closet. Items like that are great investment pieces. You'll get use out of them for years to come!
