What NYC Recessionista Wears: Purple lace

Well, when you’re getting dressed and going outside for virtually the first time in seven days, you want to be comfortable.  I know that’s a four letter word in fashion, but that was the truth for me yesterday. 
Luckily I have some really comfy pieces in my closet that still look somewhat polished. 
Uncommon Goods earrings / Forever 21 necklace / LOFT lace top (similar) and cami (similar) / LOFT cardigan / watch c/o Caravelle by Bulova / LOFT skinny pants / Clarks boots
It’s funny — this statement necklace from Forever 21 is actually a baby blue, but against this royal purple top, it looks almost turquoise. 
I recently purchased these new boots from Clarks during their big semi-annual sale after Christmas.  I love that they’re a lower (and crazy comfortable) wedge heel, yet they’re still pretty dressy for work.
