gleeful peacock earrings

happy friday everyone!  i mentioned in march i requested a clean out bag from thredup and i mailed them 12 items. the cash out was only about $26 for the 9 items they kept, but it was fine by me since i didn't have to deal with ebay hassles and it was something i wanted to try at least once.  i put the credit toward a purchase of two short sleeve blouses (a style lacking in my wardrobe) and this jacket that i plan to replace the navy & white blazer i already own that i haven't worn in over a year because it's too difficult to style.  i love the texture of the fabric and zippers at the wrists that let me roll the sleeves up a bit if i want to.

these earrings are from my one of my favorite small businesses, gleeful peacock, based out of tulsa, oklahoma.  i buy a new piece of their jewelry every time i am in town to see hanson, and these cream colored tear drop earrings just had to come home with me after my trip this week.  i love choosing jewelry as a souvenir because it always reminds you of the vacation or event that surrounded the purchase!

happy weekend!

today there was a holiday party over the lunch hours at my office building and staff were encouraged to wear an ugly christmas sweater.  do you guys get into this type of holiday party theme?  i didn't even put it on my calendar because i knew i would have no interest in participating, and since i worked form home yesterday i kind of forgot it was taking place today.  i'm not sure why ugly sweater parties are so popular these days but the potential of winning a prize for wearing the ugliest christmas sweater wasn't enough to draw me in.  so, don't mind me in my floral blazer and wool skirt.  what i really want to draw attention to anyway is my necklace that onecklace recently sent me!

i've long admired similar necklaces on some of my favorite bloggers and thought this was the perfect opportunity to add one to my jewelry collection.  i chose the small silver monogram necklace and i love that the size isn't overwhelming and just looks like a pretty, delicate piece of jewelry.  if i'm not wearing a statement necklace, i like to wear a simple chain (like this initial necklace from lisa leonard - no longer available, sadly) and i think the monogram necklace looks great layered with it.  and now i'm twice as likely to remember what my name starts with, haha!

thanks for visiting!
