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!
