Dressed for: Something Borrowed, Something Blue

by Sally on June 5, 2012 · 14 comments

Already Pretty outfit featuring J.Crew bubble necklace, suede shorts, white long sleeve tee, red peeptoes, Nixon Time Teller watch

Necklace, “borrowed” from Christina
Long-sleeved tee, Gap ages ago but this is similar
Suede shorts, Talbots (no longer available) – similarmore suede shorts
Peeptoes – Bronx Dance Hall via Ideeli
Watch, Nixon Time Teller
Earrings, art fair - similar

I cajoled Christina into modeling for a recent StarTribune photo shoot, and she left this gorgeous necklace in the studio. So OBVIOUSLY I had to sneak in a quick wearing before returning it to her. It’s a great piece, and I love how it livens up a solid white tee!

I used to have a pair of bright blue suede shorts…I wish I had held on to them – I love this simple chic look. :)

Thanks, Julia! Hmm, I have small wrists and had 2 or 3 links removed. I can’t seem to find a band length, but you could certainly contact Nixon to ask them!

This is a perfect example of a cool summer look. I shall steal this immediately (with knee-length cotton shorts), thank-you-very-much : >

I’ve always believed that accessories can make a simple outfit stand out. The necklace and shoes really added pizazz to this ensemble. Love it!

Thank you for the inspiration! I have a pair of brown suede shorts that I have yet to wear, so seeing your post makes me want to pull them out and wear them.

I do believe that necklace is from Jcrew and it’s been popping up everywhere! I need to get a hold of a piece like that, it looks great on you!

I’m trying to resist the urge to order a J Crew-inspired bubble necklace from an Etsy shop. It’s inexpensive, but we’re trying to watch the budget. Thanks for the cute outfit idea!

This is very cute. I love the way the shorts fit you.

I have this necklace and love it! Looks great with this simple outfit Sal! Mine (and the one you are wearing) are actually from the J.Crew Factory, it’s a bit smaller and more wearable than the retail version (not to mention about 1/3 of the price!) I’d love for you to check out how I have been wearing the necklace on my little blog!
