Collared blazer love

For some reason four day work weeks always feel longer than 5 day weeks. I mean you are really only working 32 hours instead of 40 (if you go by a clock) but the days just drag on. 5 o'clock is looming here and I can't wait!

I wore this to work yesterday and am kicking myself for not picking up more of the jackie sweaters when I got this one... they just look so good and have longer sleeves than the tippi. I think a red and royal blue would be nice... or navy. White? Beige? Oi vey.

 I also have to admit that I really like the new lighting in this office bathroom.

And can I stop for a second and mention how much I love peter pan collars, especially ones that have embellishments on them? When I grabbed this top from H&M sometime last year I thought it was going to be one of those purchases that I always regret. But I'm glad to see that it's versatile and I can pair it under sweaters to add a bit of glam to my outfit.

I've also been searching for a collar necklace or two to add to my collection..so if anyone has any that they've picked up recently let me know. I particularly like this one from C Wonder but the price stops me from pulling the trigger on buying it.

Are there certain items in your closet that you hesitated on purchasing but end up loving?

And because its a Friday... T minus 22 days until Europe!

  1. I love the jeweled collar with this sweater! I also really like the necklace from C Wonder. (I need to start shopping there!) I have missed out on a few statement necklaces because they are somewhat pricey and I am not sure how much use I will get out of them in the long run.

  5. I am loving Peter Pan collars too! Baublebar has a collar necklace similar to that C. Wonder one here and if you go through a referral link you can get $10 off your order I think (or maybe you just need to sign up, regardless of link). So happy to have found your blog through one of my favorite bloggers!
