Today is one of those weird, warm fall days where you’re not quite sure whether to wear a dress or bundle up in a cozy sweater. The Wear What Where October Style Challenge was enough to convince me to go with the latter. The theme is Metallic Miss and I had the perfect necklace for the occasion.
Starting with this statement necklace as the focal point (as pretty as it is, I swear it adds 10 lbs.), I built out an outfit that accents the shimmery hues. I purchased the necklace at Nordstrom Rack for $19.99, which is a steal for something so intricate in design.
I found this sweater last fall at T.J. Maxx and it is easily one of my favorites, minus the itchy wool. It was around $30, which is honestly more than I would normally spend on a sweater but also a fraction of what it would have cost in a department store. The jeans were only $10 during T.J. Maxx’s end of season markdowns last year. Shopping hack: T.J. Maxx is offering free shipping right now if you sign up for their newsletter.
The booties are beauties. Retailed at $129, I picked up these Jessica Simpson taupe fringe booties at Marshalls for just $49.
Though the temperature is supposed to rise throughout the day, it started off chilly, giving me an opportunity to break out this stunning new wool coat. Another T.J. Maxx find, the coat was purchased for just $49 (retailed at $72). I saw a woman trying it on and basically stalked her until she bought it down. Have y’all ever done that before?! It might have been slightly creepy but well worth it: )
