Sweatshirt With A Statement

 It's amazing how one statement piece can transform an outfit and take it to another level. While I feel that accessories are the finishing touches to an outfit, I also think that a lot of the time, the jewelry is what makes the outfit; like this look.

 

 This type of get up is one of my favorite kinds --super casual but still cool. Whenever I don't know what to wear, I head to my Princess Room, scope out the jewels and shoes, and go from there.

On this day, I had a bunch of errands to run so I knew I was going to wear flats, and this necklace was screaming to be worn, so that was an easy start. I then headed to my closet in search of a top to dress the necklace down so I reached for this denim-looking sweatshirt from H&M. I threw on leather shorts and loafers because I still wanted the outfit somewhat polished.

I mean, do necklaces get any prettier than this?!  

I can't even tell you how many compliments I got on it. Every woman that passed by couldn't take their eyes off of it or would walk towards me, eyes fixated and mesmerized by the necklace, asking, "Where did you guys this?" as they reached for the sparkly jewels surrounding my neck. 

Definitely one of my favorites, for sure.

 

 Of course Big Lim had to join me on this outing... which by the way, I recently realized my laptop easily fits inside. He's going to be a great travel companion.
