Statement Necklaces for Everyday


These Looks: See below


I told my mom she needed to purchase a statement necklace because it's one of the latest trends she hasn't tried out yet. When I suggested this she said, okay, I'll get the necklace (we had already picked out because we both liked the color) if you can show me three different outfits to wear it with.

Legwear


This Look
Jacket: Target Mossimo (old), similar, similar
Boots: LAUREN by Ralph Lauren riding boots (old via DSW), similar, similar
1st Tights: Target Merona Knit Patterned Tights (old)
3rd Leggings: old via TJ Maxx

I have been getting a few questions from readers about legwear lately, and what are the alternatives to plain black tights. To be honest, I am not sure I have the answer but it was fun to look into! So I had my mom play around with some different legwear options to see how they can make or change an outfit and this is what we have come up with.

The Dish on Denim


Welcome back everyone and happy New Year! I trust you all had wonderful holidays spending time with family and friends as I did. I actually had my New Years Eve champagne cheers in the hospital waiting room as I was there with my boyfriend waiting for his very first nephew to arrive. (Of course the little guy took his sweet time and showed up around noon on New Years Day, happy and healthy!) Anyways, since I have been taking my sweet time to get back to posting on here I thought I would make the first post of the new year an extra special post on denim. Who doesn't wear denim, right? And if you, like my mother (and even myself sometimes) have trouble finding that perfect pair of jeans that looks great, fits great and goes well with everything, than read on! My mom and I went on the hunt for the perfect pair of jeans during the holidays this year and here is what we have come up with. She tried on everything from designer denim to Old Navy and whatever we could find in between.

And the winner is:

I have to start this post out with a big fat "I am sorry for neglecting to post in so long!" It's the holidays and as many of you know it's hard to get everything you possibly have on your to do list done when all you want to do is spend some quality time with family and friends. So that brings us to Christmas Eve and I still have 4 more holiday party outfits to show you! Stay tuned to see if I manage to get that last 4 posted before the new year....
Anyways, red is certainly the color of the season when it comes to the holidays and it's great because it is easy to pair with denim or black for a more elegant look. One great way to dress up your red holiday sweater and create a more interesting outfit is to add a statement necklace.
