Club Monaco blazer, Wilfred blouse, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, jeans c/o Gap Canada,
Michael Kors heels, necklaces c/o Brooklyn Designs, green bracelet c/o KV Bijou,
gold bangles c/o INPINK, Persol sunnies c/o SmartBuyGlasses Canada
When in doubt: a broken-in pair of skinny jeans, a clean-cut blazer, a breezy sheer silk blouse, a slouchy leather bag, layered jewelry and simple pumps. Oh, and no-fuss, blown-out hair, a classic pair of sunnies and a touch of lippie.
Part of the reason that I gravitate to delicate jewelry is that the piled-upon accessories aspect of this look is the factor that takes the whole thing from boring to classic chic. It’s why I’m just a little obsessed with Brooklyn Designs‘ latest line of dainty necklaces, earrings and bracelets – you hardly have to even think as you pile it on, though the end result always looks purposeful and chic. The horseshoe-shaped Rowan necklace is a particular favourite of mine: anyone who knows me well knows I’m crazy superstitious (I found a penny on the road the other day and told at least 8 people about what great luck I had chanced upon…which is really weird), so I have a little feeling this necklace will be around my neck lots.
I have a great week lined up: next week will be a busy week for The Style Common (stay tuned), so we have a couple meetings to hammer out some last-minute details, a fun event or two to attend and some special me-time already penciled in. I haven’t sat down by myself and watched a movie, painted my nails, had a nice glass of wine and read a magazine in ages. I’m making a promise to myself to book some time tonight in for that, and I seriously can’t wait! How do you like to unwind when you’re taking some alone time?
You always look gorgeous! I love that your necklace just sets the entire look off! I had no idea that you were superstitious, I definitely think that necklace will be appearing a lot! Have a great Monday!
This is definitely my go-to outfit when nothing else feels right…a blazer just makes everything feel pulled together & polished! You look gorgeous – love the bright lip 🙂

Loving this look, pally – it's so classic, but the piled on delicate jewels adds a lovely touch of Carrie Bradshaw-esque sophistication. I'm especially loving your arrowhead necklace. Miss you tons, girl – I'm sure you're crazy busy with your new job but I hope we can work out a skype date soon 🙂
xox,

So chic! Love how classic this look is! I'm a fan of layered necklace too and your arrowhead one is very cool!
When I want to unwind, I usually do the same as you — movie, paint my nails, or read a book.

I love, love the arm candy.
I'm the same way with pennies, and I figure we will only get luckier as the pennies become less available.
Your unwind sounds just like mine, though I'm just as apt to watch reruns of Friends.

This is the perfect look! I love the worn in skinnies with the sheer blouse and blazer. Without sounding like a weirdo, I love that the blouse is sheer with a darker bra underneath, I always think that it adds a bit of sexiness without being too overt. I love sitting down with a movie and a glass of wine, sounds like the perfect evening!
