OOTD: 9/15/12 Comedy Club

Sorry for the wonky lighting and shadows.  I wore this outfit to a comedy club.

Top:  Rebecca Taylor - I love this blouse, especially the sleeves.

Layering tank:  C &  C California - I think they make the best layering tanks.  They're thin and long.

OOTD: 9/9/2012 Lunch with Friends

Outfit of the Day:  Sat, Sept 9

Skirt:  Free People "Cantina" Wrap Skirt

Sandals:  Dolce Vita

Bracelets:  Kenneth Jay Lane and unknown brand

OOTD: Labor Day Lunch 9/3/2012

OOTD: Gastropub 8/31/2012

I wore this to grab a drink at the local gastropub.  I've had that top for months but haven't had the chance to wear it.  I found it at Nordstrom for 40% off!  I probably have about 5 other white eyelet lace tops but I can't resist them.

OOTD:  8/20/2012

I work this to work on August 20th.  I had to give a presentation so I dressed up a little.  I received a lot of compliments on this dress - but that might also be because I rarely wear dresses to work.

Dress:  Club Monaco "Ella"- this dress runs large and without the belt, it looks like a tent

Belt:  Anthropologie

Shoes:  Stuart Weitzman "Minx" - I looooove these shoes!  I checked prices every week until they went on sale.  They are popular because Kate Middleton has them but I always love a good cork wedge. 

Bracelets:  Gorjana

I wore this to an afternoon wedding.  I was going to wear the Joie Sari dress in Blood Orange but decided it was too bright.

Shoes:  Ivanka Trump Whisker in Light Natural

Bracelet:  Leighelena

It's summer and I work in education so the dress code is a little more casual.  I wore this a few days ago.  Can't remember which day exactly.

Top:  Anthropologie

Jeans:  Citizens of Humanity Ava Straight Leg in Faith

Favorites: Leighelena Jigsaw Cuff Bracelet in Black Anaconda

 

Leighelena Jigsaw Cuff in Black Anaconda with Gold Buckle

One night I decided I needed a black cuff bracelet ASAP, preferably in snakeskin.  So naturally I googled "black snakeskin cuff bracelet."  One of the results was the Leighelena Jigsaw Cuff pictured above.  It was love at first sight.  The buckle is so modern and sleek.  The only problem was that the Jigsaw style comes in a wide variety of colors and I wasn't so sure I wanted the black anymore.  There's a very cool Stingray Rainbow Hologram style that I was eyeing:

In the end, I decided the black would match with more of my clothes.  Here is a picture of the bracelet on my wrist:

It comes in two sizes:  S and M.  I bought the S.  It's supposed to have a snug fit but I have very small wrists.  Nevertheless, I still like the way it fits.  I hope to purchase more later but they are $100 - $150 each so it's something I have to plan for in my budget.  I do think they are worth it because it is a well made piece of jewelry (made in the USA).  Plus, I will use it for years.  I also like this one and this one!  Which style do you like?
