Yesterday's outfit.
I also splurged on some new things.
They're being shipped and once I decide if they are keepers I'll reveal.
But this came home with me yesterday:
The most I have in terms of jewelry is costume with a dash of a few fine jewelry. I've been getting a lot of encouragement to stop with handbags and go into jewelry. The biggest issue is whether I would use them regularly enough to justify the price of them.
So this CZ set came into play. If I use them regularly on my ban, then perhaps after the ban I would be inclined to get the real deal. If I don't, well it would be a $30 lesson over a several thousand dollar lesson.
I chose a style that everyone seems to suggest getting: diamond studs. So we'll see.
With the wearing at least one accessory a day, I should be able to go through all the accessories I own from now till the end of ban.
Today's outfit
Wore the earrings. I like them but not sure if this size is a good every day size. They're kinda big.

Nice. I think it's smart to try them out first. It really depends on whether you're a sparkle or a pearl girl. I think you might be more of a pearl person, more classic maybe? But prove me wrong and wear the heck out of these until you decide to splurge again!
I think I am a pearl girl, and more a necklace girl as well. But we'll see, maybe I just haven't found the right diamond pieces to wear often.
More additions from my last trip to Nordstrom Rack.
Because I really can't justify more clothes unless I'm replacing something now.
I didn't have jeans that were comfortable for long periods of time.
And I found the rack version of these earrings to try.
The most exciting purchase is the Shinola watch, which I'm excited for because I can put those fun canvas straps on them! They're inexpensive on Amazon, so I'll be able to have fun with those.
There are a few more ordered items to arrive, will share if they're keepers or not.

Cool jeans and nice watch! Are the studs smaller than the ones you bought before, since you seemed to be bothered by the size?
Thanks!
They're the same. I got used to the size, so I figured I could try a different style.
When it comes to the time to buy a real one, i would pick between the two styles not get both.
I have always liked the watches where you can change out the nylon straps.
The only watch I liked that could do this was the Omega moon watch.
But DBF has it and said it was redundant to own the same watch twice. Not lol I'd get a chance to wear it though [emoji849]
So I kept searching and this caught my eye, the Shinola Runwell.
I like the idea of a watch maker in the US, even if the parts are Swiss.
Plus, it allows me to use nylon bands!
I found the watch for $157 at the Rack, which isn't bad for a fun watch. I figured I had my classics in neutral colors, something unique would be a good addition.
The set of straps were $14 on Amazon lol. There's even more color combos that I'm eager to use my Amazon points on.

The watch strap thing might go a little crazy now. They can match my stuff pretty well!
Another reveal:
I bought my first Chanel RTW.
For once I bought something preloved, because I didn't think I'd wear a jacket enough at the retail price. (Still don't tbh, lol)
I'm glad I bought it used because wow! These jackets are heavy.
Cropped jacket to wear with skirts and dresses in the winter.
Will there be more upcoming reveals?
You know it. I went crazy after finding out about my pay raise. [emoji28][emoji6]

After yesterday's frustration of espadrilles not working out, today's reveal did!
I plan to wear each piece separately, as a suit is too formal for work. It's a lighter weight material than the first jacket so I should get more daily wear from this, when it actually gets cold.
Decided to return the red flats along with two pairs of espadrilles that don't work. I kept trying to wear the red shoes but the pointed toe just didn't seem very me.
so with that much hesitation to wear, back they go.
Let go of a couple items here and there to balance out what's coming in. Not enough, but it's something.
