It was 23 degrees this day, but
a.) I was in a colorful mood, and
b.) I could not WAIT to wear the shoes I had gotten the day before!!!
I'm a crazy person, yes indeed.
Where to start gushing about this outfit? +sigh+ I just love every bit of it! The blazer, shoes, and necklace are all brand new additions to my wardrobe, and I couldn't be happier! I've been on the hunt for those things for awhile (a colorful blazer, a necklace to go under collars of collared shirts [specifically this denim one], and THESE SHOES).
The shoes, OK, OK, we all know that I'm a shoe gal, so I'll really give them some typed lovin' here:
I have been craving these shoes (in black) since before Prabal Gurung for Target even launched. Of course, the black were the first to sell out, +sigh+ so instead I scoured thrift stores for something similar. There were some shoes I found that could have been similar with some minor surgery, but they just lacked something that couldn't be fixed. Like, too short of a heel, or not being minimal enough (it's the lack of actual shoe that makes these shoes so sexy and perfect lol), or whatever.
So then, when I had all but given up hope, I found this pair at Goodwill with the tags still attached!!!! I was amazed. But then I looked at the size, and my heart dropped. They were a 7.5. I'm at LEAST an 8.5--usually a 9--but I couldn't help myself; I tried them on, anyway.
Oh. My. God. They fit.
And then, of course, there's this necklace. I was inspired by an Instagram photo posted by Forever21 awhile ago to find myself a necklace to fancy-up-but-not-fancy-up button up shirts. ...You know what I mean? kinda? maybe? Well, whatever. This necklace is exactly what I was going for. And it's not something that I would've just picked out in the store (if I didn't have a specific purpose)...which probably means that I will find myself wearing it constantly.

Anybody else experience that?
The ironic, sort of unexpected bits of your wardrobe end up being worn the most?
Hat: thrifted || Jeans: H&M || Blazer & Necklace: JCP || Bag: Target || Shirt: thrifted (orig. Target) || Lipstick: Revlon || Shoes: thrifted (orig. Prabal Gurung for Target)
