Black and Bling


All remixed, except the necklace, of course.
Skirt: Gap
Turtleneck: Express
Cardigan: Sonoma via Kohl's
Belt: came with a blazer
Tights: Target
Boots: Nine West
Earrings: Target
Necklace: giveaway from Twenty York Street (¡Gracias!)

I knew when I got this AMAZING necklace in the mail yesterday that I wanted to wear it with this black turtleneck. And as long as I was going to wear this much bling, I might as well go with all black.


This outfit actually came together pretty easily, which is huge because none of my outfits have been coming together easily lately. I got these tights a few months ago for $2 at Target and was a bit concerned because, honestly, they're wild and I thought they were a touch too sexy for my everyday life. But they were the first pair of tights I pulled out of my trusty tights storage (read: Target bag full of tights) and I just went with them.


I like to think that I toned down the sexy by covering up most of my leg with a skirt and knee high boots. And P.S, y'all, these boots will NOT be making the cut when I pare down my closet yet again come January. The toes are super worn and so are the heels. I can't bring myself to get them resoled because I only spent $60 on them (yay for super clearance at the Nine West Outlet store!) but if anyone else out there is willing to resole them and wants my size six boots, you're welcome to take them off my hands.


Can we just discuss for a moment how crazy fabulous this necklace is? It's the kind of thing I've always wanted to try, but was too scared to buy, and now it's in my hands and I LOVE IT. It's a whole lot of bling, but I can't even tell you how sassy and stylish I felt all day with it on. Even B. approved.

  1. You can never go wrong with all Black and a splash of bling. The tights give it an extra boost as well. I thought I was the only one with a bag of tights and socks from target, Marshall's, oh and TJMaxx. Way over the top with my tights/sock game.

  4. Tights are great, I think one can still keep sexy tights modest and classy as long as you wear them like you did. =D

  7. I think the tights look fabulous with just the little bit peeking out. though i've worn very lacy tights to work and let them show completely. maybe it was a bit much for the office now that i think about it...

    the necklace is gorgeous, congrats!

  8. Thanks, y'all!

    @ Lyddie: I think it can work for some people, but as someone who spent years teaching high school, I definitely lean conservatively when it comes to my own attire. Plus, the office where I volunteer is ultra conservative. It could definitely work for other settings, though.
