work it

it’s st. patrick’s day and I may have committed an egregious sin. i’m half irish, and i’m not wearing green! hopefully, i’ll be forgiven after you catch a glimpse of this lovely 14K necklace by Splendido Oro. in the first two photos, i’m wearing the gold coin necklace solo. but one reason i chose this particular necklace for the first giveaway hosted by Style at a Certain Age is that it can stand alone. or if you like, it layers perfectly with other necklaces. and nothing is more on trend this spring than layered bling. for more inspiration check out all of the lovely necklaces offered by JTV. in the last several photos, i’ve taken the liberty of pairing the gold coin necklace with a mother-of-pearl pendant i’ve had since our days in vietnam. if you’re looking for ways to incorporate this season’s trend into your everyday look think layers. it’s a perfect way to polish off a nine-to-five ootd that i also layered with poncho panache last seen here. while i love ponchos for a casual chic weekend look they’re a perfect addition to a pencil skirt. and a nice change of pace from a blazer.
