BURGUNDY STRIPES AND BYZANTINE NECKLACE

Hello from rainy Los Angeles! I snapped these photos yesterday before the rain really started coming down…hence the gray skies.

I’ve been wearing a lot of burgundy lately. Maybe it all started with the burgundy OTK boots that I received by accident…but I’ve been compelled to shop for a lot of dark reds.

I found this boxy wine and black striped top on sale from Forever 21. Since the material has a bit of a sheen, it could easily be dressed up, but of course I decided to wear it casually.

The top is boxy and cropped, which is not always the most flattering look for me. I layered it over a black high-low tank top to create shape and hide the belly button.

In a recent post, I wore the burgundy version of this BLANKNYC jacket. I loooove this jacket so much. The fit (runs a bit snug) is so flattering and the boxy shoulders give it just the right silhouette. And now the camel color is back in stock, which I might have to pick up! Rated 4.5 stars with over 650 reviews on Nordstrom, this one is a must-have.

I also want to share my new necklace! You may have already seen it on my Instagram. I received this gorgeous chain from one of my favorite jewelers, Ross-Simons (also see the Ross-Simons rings that I’ve been wearing everyday here). I love that the Byzantine design of this chain can look feminine or streetstyle–or in between, which is where I like to be.

My favorite boots. I have them in three colors. Is it bad that I keep buying the same pieces but in different colors?

Thank you so much for stopping by! Also huge thanks to Ross-Simons for helping me add just the right amount of glimmer and bling to my look!
