WIWW: Layers of Coral & Slouchy Boots

I’m in coral.  Shocker? Not really, I know. Last week I found myself in some shade of orange three times.  There was a fourth day- but realized my coral ways and opted for fuchsia instead.  I’m a fan of color, for sure.  And the color of my life at the moment is coral.       

Top // Loft (no longer available) * Crop Jeans// Loft
Boots // Madden Girl @ DSW * Necklace // Sam Moon 

This top is from Loft {mind blowing you with surprise today, aren’t I?} and was available for all of 7 minutes.  It flew off the shelves and literally vanished in web world! While on bed rest I regularly perused my favorite shops online and as soon as I saw this top I sent it right over to Jordan to add to my Christmas list.  He must have gone out that day to get it because the next day while I was {yet again} building my wish list of clothes to fill my closet post-babies, the shirt was gone.  I was so bummed. When I opened the gift on Christmas morning I was shocked to see it! And SO excited, of course:) I was convinced that he wasn’t able to get it.  Rock star of a hubby right there. 

Like I’ve said before, my mother in law gets me a lot of the jewelry I wear- and does so well, I must say! This necklace was a gift from her.  After I posted about my first day back to work wearing it, I got so many compliments {thank you!} and questions asking where it is from.

Sam Moon.  {and all it’s glory.}

Between Charming Charlie’s, Sam Moon, and random shops, I have a ton.  A. Ton.  A knotted mess that consumes an entire drawer of our bedroom dresser.  I almost have to select my jewelry the night before because I have actually been late for work sifting through that mess.  I usually end up wearing the same pieces- whatever is laying right on top{and un-tangled}. Sad.

I need a better plan for organization of my hefty collection.  Someone want to come and hang out with me for a week while I de-tangle?  I’ll feed you.

This outfit isn’t terribly creative, but there is something about a good {make me feel pretty} flowy top, a {big and chunky} statement necklace, and {my go-to} skinnies paired with {my-go-with-almost-everything} slouchy boots.  It works. 

Happy Wednesday, friends!  The week is halfway through- always a reason to be happy about that:)

    What??! How have I never heard of Sam Moon??! I clicked on the link fully expecting it to be another shop full of $70 necklaces that I was going to be bitter about not being able to afford…what a happy surprise!!

  2. Samantha says:

    That colour is spectacular!

  3. Love this outfit homes! 😉 Coral is such a great color on you, so I saw rock it 6 or even 7 days a week! lol. Umm… this girl was just introduced to Sam Moon.. and let's just say between my visits to Charming Charlie's with my coupons and just the price awesomeness of Sam Moon… I'm in trouble.

  4. I love the coral color!!! I can't find enough of it. One of my favorite dresses is coral and I can't wear it until I lose a few pounds 🙁

    Love this look! Something I`d totally wear. 🙂 I need to go look around Loft. I`m a huge fan of Charming Charlies. But I`d never heard of Sam Moon. I think I`ll be BFFs with them too!

    I can relate to the tangled mess! My drawers were like that. Until my friend tackled it for me. While I was on bedrest, she tackled my entire closet! Wish we were closer. We`d come help you. 🙂 Lola is obsessed with these kind of projects.
