After a 6-month hiatus, I reinstated my Rocksbox membership last month (Would you like a free month? Use code valeriehbff11) and hit the jackpot with my Perry Street Ciara statement necklace. Quite unlike most of my statement necklaces (which trend to the candy colored and cheesy in theme), this one was dark and refined. I loved the smoky colors, which seemed to perfectly complement a lot of the clothes in my wardrobe. So much so that I actually used it for two outfits before reluctantly returning it to Rocksbox.
It's
been a while since I've been truly excited about one of my outfits
(that were not a costume, at least), but both of these, I am.
For
the first one, I wore my beloved purple pleather pencil skirt, a dark
purple camisole, my long flowing black vest, and a new pair of boots.
This
outfit brought me so much joy! I love that I was able to finally wear
some of my new shoes. I love that I was able to wear my pinstriped
camisole, which I'd given up on and was trying to sell—it's always a
delight to find a new way of wearing something you thought you were
bored with. I love even more that the choice of camisole was totally a
fluke. I was an inch away from wearing my lavender camisole
when I discovered it had a grease stain front and center, which is the
only reason for my last-minute reconsideration. I love the combination
of winter wear (boots) and summer wear (no sleeves). I frankly just love
wearing no sleeves (a welcome rarity in November!). I was lucky that
the day that I wore it (last Friday) got up to 77 degrees!
The
next outfit had to be much more covered-up, since I wore it on a rainy
Tuesday with a high of only 49. For that outfit, I wore a maroon
sleeveless tunic, leggings, a long black cardigan, and burgundy boots. I
loved the way the boots resembled the color of the camisole but didn't
quite match it. I loved the flowing hemlines of the tunic and cardigan,
and how they interacted with each other.
