Manic Monday: The beaded necklace

Sunnies: Gucci | Necklace: MOD (local boutique) (option)  | Top: Express (option, cheap option)  | Bracelet: JCrew Factory (love this) | Bag: Kate Spade Saturday (option) | Skirt: Gifted (option, option, option)  | Wedges: Enzo Angiolini (snakeskin option, metallic option)

Mix it Monday: See how else I've styled these pieces!

Left: Mint clutch | Right: Red skirt

I love this necklace. I just love it. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw this picture where I said this necklace and these wedges scream summer to me. Isn't it so true? What's funny is that I bought a very similar necklace for one of my good friends (see said necklace and friend here.) When I bought it for her, I thought it was really cute, but didn't think to buy one for myself.  That same boutique I purchased my Friday tee from had this necklace in store, and I couldn't resist.

In true Carylee fashion, I was inspired by this pin here. I decided to break up the solids with a pinstripe tank, and the length of this skirt felt better with wedges than with flat sandals. Yep, I love it all. I feel like I've been saying this a lot lately, but this will go on my list as another favorite outfit for me. And I can't wait to style this necklace again and again!

I keep forgetting

Sunnies: Oakley (option) | Top: Kate Spade (option, option) | Bracelet: Express | Bag: Michael Kors (budget option) | Skirt: Forever 21 (option, option)   | Shoes: Enzo Angiolini (option)

There's no big frills to this outfit, right? Just a pencil skirt, a sleeveless top, a bracelet, and heels. But, I do believe it's all in the details though - a fun print, a touch of ruffles, a contrasting bag, and the cute little bow on the shoes. And really, I always forget how much I love pencil skirts until I put them on again. And I also forget that sometimes no big frills is a good thing!

Bookends

Left: Atlantic-Pacific here | Right: Atlantic-Pacific here

Well, I unintentionally bookended my week of outfits with inspiration from Atlantic-Pacific. To be honest, I had no idea my Monday inspiration was her! I texted this pic to Gina and asked if she knew who the blogger was, and luckily she did! In my defense, I didn't recognize Blaire sans sunnies and actually showing her teeth! Perhaps 3 years from now, I will have a similar transformation...

Sunnies: Gucci | Top: Piperlime (similar, option, option, option)  | Bracelet: Kate Spade (option) | Bag: Ralph Lauren (option) | Bottoms: 7 for all Mankind (option)  | Shoes: Enzo Angiolini (option) 

This top is a bit trapeze shaped, which makes it difficult to partial tuck. I found that the offset knot worked better for this. I love pattern mixing, and leopard plus anything always equals something fun! And gosh, I love the warm weather and being able to wear all my fun shoes again. I think the last time you guys saw these shoes was in August. Geez! They'll come out sooner next time!
