The whole time I was wearing this outfit, I wished I had worn white jeans instead. I think the green and navy would have really popped against the white! But it was still kind of rainy, and I have a horror of getting my white jeans dirty.
Merona navy short-sleeve buttondown (previously loved by E.I.)
green sweater, Old Navy
enamel necklace, eBay
I wore this with the collar buttoned, and was surprised that it wasn't uncomfortable -- I always thought it would be. I added the necklace because I kind of remembered that Elaine of Clothed Much had dressed up a buttondown with a necklace and it looked fantastic. I looked up the
post after I wore this outfit and realized, oops -- she recommends belting a sweater/cardigan to avoid a manly look! Just call me sir, I suppose ...
I don't think it looks manly at all! It looks so pretty, loving all the colors and that gorgeous necklace!

Thank you, Jenn! I don't think the chilly weather will stick around much longer, so I want to get some use out of the green sweater while I can. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennifer! I'm trying to keep my eBay jewelry shopping in check ... there are so many pretty, affordable items for sale there. :)
ReplyDeleteKat - really love the jewelry I got off eBay! Price is right and the pieces I picked up add something special to an outfit. :)
ReplyDeleteNo way! I love that you didn't belt the sweater to let the necklace shine. It's so pretty! It's the feminine touch that's needed when you button up your collar all the way. I love styling tops this way.
ReplyDeletethe dressed-up buttondown is amazing! a perfect bit of color for a rainy day!
