Sparkling Personality

So, yeah, I am so not Audrey Hepburn in any way, shape or form. But something about my pictures today made me think about these Breakfast at Tiffany's pictures of her. I think it's the chunky, sparkly necklace.

My outfit Friday was pretty much built around my sequin Converse shoes.


My feet have been cold at work and I wanted to wear closed toed shoes but I wanted to be sparkly and shiny, too.  Lise showed how to dress these shoes down a bit with her Sk8ter Mom look.  I decided to make them work appropriate.

So I paired them with a black tank, trimmed in satin and black/white pin stripe shorts.

Tank: Ann Taylor Loft
Shorts: Banana Republic
Converse: Kohl's ($11 clearance!!)
Necklace/earrings: Ann Taylor Loft
Sunnies: Tifosi
 
And then I decided I needed a little more BLING. So I added this chunky, very sparkly necklace and matching earrings.  Now one thing about this necklace. If I had to be outside for any length of time, I couldn't have worn it. It's pretty hot and humid here and a heavy, metal necklace and humidity do not go well together!


I think it ended up being a pretty good outfit to wear to work on a Friday. 

And no post about anything shiny would be complete without Captain Tightpants himself:



Have a great weekend, Y'all!!
