Appropriate-ness Over Balance for Work
Decided to wear jeans again for a casual work day. I thought about doing my new skinnies, which have a dark wash and aren't too-too tight, but decided best to leave those for after hours. I think this top would look better with slimmer pants, but my desire to be work-appropriate outweighed my desire to balance my ensemble.
Simple look - I let the accessories be the stars. My long crystal J Crew necklace has become quite the outfit staple for me.
My new J Crew Parsley Metallic Mary Janes. I first saw these in an old J Crew catalog and thought they were gorge. I decided to not buy them, but when I found a new pair on ebay for a decent price, I jumped!
The shoes are more green than they looked in the ebay photo. I think my pictures is more true to color, but it's still a nice, toned-down green. I like them a lot and they're surprisingly comfortable. My only (minor) complaints are the rounded toe is narrower than other round-toe shoes I've worn and the straps are rather tight. I do like how they're adjustable, though, since most shoe straps seem to stretch at least a little bit.

I don't think this outfit is 'unbalanced'! It's really cute, laid-back and very flattering.
That's my favorite type of outfit! It's casual and can be dressed up as well for drink with the girls.
Wish you took a photo of that necklace. Looks beautiful!
love everything! the wide legged pants and of course the green shoes !!
I absolutely LOVE the shoes. They are the prettiest color!! Very cute outfit by the way :)
I would like to have a chat with you about your jewellery blogging but cant find a contact for you.

LOVE those Mary Janes! They do look like they could be a little uncomfortable so glad to hear you can rock them without pain. Overall nice casual work day outfit.
You have a good fashion sense, unlike my assistant who mostly wears burlap sacks because that's all she can afford on the paltry salary I pay her.
The green shoes make me want to eat broccoli for some reason.
Seriously, though, you have a cool blog, but I don't see any affiliate links. Why not monetize and sell the stuff you show?
Just a suggestion from a guy who only knows about one thing: money.
good post!! worth the read :)
