What NYC Recessionista Wears: periwinkle and sparkles

Yesterday, there was a really crisp, cool breeze in the air. It almost felt like late September here in NYC!


Vintage earrings from my mom’s jewelry box (similar) / Chloe & Isabel necklace / J. Crew Factory necklace / J. Crew Factory chambray blazer / LOFT blouse / J. Crew bracelet (similar) / watch c/o Caravelle by Bulova / J. Crew minnie pant / Payless flats (similar)




Next time you’re trying to decide between two different necklaces … wear both!  Just make sure they “go” well together.  These two necklaces both have clear stones and a brassy, metallic metal, so they look really nice as a duo.


I had a couple of important meetings during the day, so I wanted to make the look more polished by throwing a blazer on over my outfit. Love how versatile chambray is proving to be.

All in all, I felt pretty polished and sophisticated for a Monday!
