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 know what you mean about not wearing flats with certain lengths of skirts! Love your gorgeous necklace and the colour of your skirt.
ReplyDeleteYep - it's all about proportions for me! Flat sandals made me feel a bit stumpy!

I can see why you bought that necklace. The color is on trend and it feels luxurious with strands and strands of baubles :) This is a great outfit on you Carylee and the skirt is something I wish for in my closet! Thank you for hosting and letting me share my post.
