What NYC Recessionista Wears: Baby blue bling

Yesterday, the hubs and I headed into the city to run some errands. I stopped by the J. Crew store on 5th Avenue (more on that in another post) and then after lunch at Cafeteria, we headed to Tekserve to see if they could recover any data off of one of the water-logged machines from his Sandy-battered office.

Does that sound familiar at all?

Anyway, since I was going to be out and about, I didn’t want to look too frumpy …


J. Crew polka dot pop-over shirt / Forever 21 necklace / J. Crew tippi sweater / J. Crew bracelet (similar) / Anthropologie bracelet (similar) / bracelets c/o Ann Taylor spring 2013 (similar) / watch c/o Caravelle by Bulova (similar) / J. Crew pixie pants / Clarks boots

I just bought this necklace very recently, and I love the icy blue color. With how bling-y it is, can you believe it was under $13?

I love this color combination — navy, white, baby blue and gray. It’s perfect for winter, no?
