oh my! bare legs in winter? thanks to the gray and cloudy weather in between rainstorms, it’s actually surprisingly not cold. i wouldn’t say it’s warm, but it’s totally bearable. anyway, after feeling a little inspired to dress up and get pretty today, i decided to try out a few new things. this is the first time i’ve scrunched up socks and worn them with my ankle boots: i owe that to the j.crew catalogs that show up in my mailbox every week. and i am wearing a necklace! and not just a necklace, but a necklace with sequins! i don’t think i’ve ever actually worn sequins before. and for that, i can thank glitzer on etsy.
i’ve been meaning to incorporate jewelry into my wardrobe for a while now, but i just didn’t know where to start. i didn’t want to go buy cheapy stuff from f21, but i wasn’t willing to run to a real jeweler and throw down $100 for a simple necklace. so i’ve found the perfect solution: bib necklaces. they’re like training wheels for adults who want to be more fancy. and well, that’s that.
oh and one last thing. i wear silly smartwool socks like these almost every day. they’re very warm and practical, but today was fun because i actually incorporated them into an outfit. i like that they created a little ombrÁ© effect with my booties. i guess you can’t tell, but they’re charcoal and gray. details, details.

exquisite, as always. the bib necklace is great, especially how you've styled it.
that necklace is just the right amount of jewellery. you are pure class.
ahhhhh
i love this outfit.
i also love the children section of the j.crew catalogs.
You look so great! I love the fanciness the bib necklace adds to your outfit, great jewelry start! And the socks with the boots really works. :}

ah. i love smartwool socks! my boyfriend wears his every day, and found some nice printed pairs, too!
Loves everything about this look!! My fav so far.
You are so good with mixing neutral colors together! And with wearing white! The eyelet is so nice with your warm gray sweater and your cozy pretty socks.
love, Jenny
Oooh I do love the necklace and I am a huge fan of greys….love your style as always – another great outfit :)
gorgeous :)
one of my favorite outfits of all time. i adore that gray cardigan and the necklace. you look adorable :)
this is so pretty, the scrunched socks make up for the sans-tights. I am also in love with that cardigan- oh jcrew…
I love this outfit! I could also see it paired with some subtle shimmery black tights too, just in case it gets a little cold.
I hate the fact you live in California. I give anything for a day above 40 degrees.
But those bib necklaces are getting a bit hard for me to resist. I found one at F21 that I really liked. Probably, Anthropologie or UO has a few that would be better quality.
Love this!!

Your necklace is amazing, it really makes the outfit. I wish I could still go without stockings here, but its going to be in the 20's tomorrow…so no chance:)
i love this outfit, the black necklace looks so good on the white dress!
J Crew's styling does seem to seep its way into many of my thoughts as well…good marketing department they've got!
Perfect styling! Everything is pieced so beautifully capturing the essence of all the great pieces.
I love the ankle boots, scrunched up socks! Simply lovely!
