In fact I wore it this morning to the Saks after Xmas sale (where we shopped exclusively for my husband. The 26th is traditionally HIS shopping day). This is my OOTD (that I am still wearing):
The mohair sweater is from Calypso and the jeans are the JCrew Vintage Slim in rustic wash that went finally on sale and I bought during the MUSTHAVE promo (I am wearing a 26, my typical jeans size). You have all recognized the vintage striped bateau from this spring, which is now on sale as well.
I don't see the necklace online (not sure if it is sold out or store only). The ticket reads "Crystal Venus Flytrap necklace" (EC8333) and it retails for $85 (it is still FP as of today, I checked). It is very bling-y and clearly tries to mimic the real thing but I really like it (I like that it is short and that the hardware is self-effacing so that you really only see the crystals):
We had the perfect Xmas Day yesterday. Besides the joy of seeing our daughter opening the presents (she really believes in Santa this year and she asked for a princess tent to play princesses with her friends), we had our best friends over for lunch and in the evening we even went to the movies to see "the creepiest holiday movie ever", Black Swan, that we both enjoyed. I can't even remember the last time that we went to the movies on Xmas Day, since usually we are stuck with my daughter. But as you know my MIL is here for the holidays so we are taking advantage. Thanks MIL!
Here is the outfit that I wore yesterday (the blouse is the plaid taffeta one from Talbot's, the cardigan is the Dulphine bling-button in black pine and the pants are the toothpick cords in navy from last year. The necklace is my Xmas present):
And as to wrap up a perfect Xmas weekend, it is snowing in NY today.
I will be back soon!
Merry Christmas, Ema! Sounds like you had a great holiday. Your necklace looks beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Ema! Beautiful photo with your daughter! The necklace is very nice!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, thanks for the quick post. Love the necklace, how did Santa know, haha??!! Love that first outfit, as I am always a fan of the striped tee, but I love how you put it underneath that gorgeous sweater!
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas present, what a perfect and versatile necklace.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is so sweet, my youngest still believes in Santa but she is now 8 and I think the clock is ticking on the Santa Belief in my house. I'll be sad when that day happens, we love to put out the cookies and carrots for the reindeer (which end up in the garden by Christmas morning).
Happy you had such a lovely holiday!
Thank you Andrea. I am so sorry for your grampa, my thoughts go out to you.
ReplyDeleteRose, thank you! BTW, I really liked your Xmas tree on your blog, very cute.
mrs.anketell, I was sure you would like the outfit ;-)> I saw yersterday a very similar mohair sweater a the Loft. Check it out if you want to copy the look!
DaniBP, aren't they endearing? I will be sad too but I still have a few years ahead of preparing the cookies for Santa. My daughter bursted into tears when she saw that Santa hadn't picked up the letter that she had left for him (we ate the cookie but forgot the letter, bad parents that we are!)
Oh! Thanks for the tip, when i can make it out (w/ all of our snow and ice!) with my two kids, I will run into LOFT to check it out:) You rock!
