It's 87 degrees here today on the East Coast... stripes and shorts!
Here is one more shot of me in "casual with bling" and then I'll zip it....
I have spoken so much about striped tees with white skinny Bemurda shorts, so I thought I would post an example.
By the way, for any striped tee lovers, I love Saint James. They are my go to for striped tees. They are a French company founded in 1889, and one of the original Breton shirt makers. The boutique in NYC on Madison has closed :sad:, but you can order online. Their striped tees come in tons of colors, so they are easily collectible. Here is their website in case anyone might be interested:
Striped Breton Shirts and Nautical Style Knitwear | Saint James® (saint-james.com)
(Oooh... I see they have a sale now! Need to check it out and stock up on seasonal colors I like).

My "casual with bling" outfit today...
I'm in the car after finishing brunch. I'm giving Lotus a little love and also wearing my Alhambra WG MOP set (also wearing the MOP earrings, but not shown in photo). The tee is black & white striped. This morning, after I got dressed, I opened my jewelry box to decide what to jewelry to wear. My little panda saw my black & white striped tee and said "pick me, pick me, I match!". So he's hanging out with me too. I actually wore my little panda guy hanging on the side (a la "@nicole0612 -style", but for this photo, I moved him to the bottom so you could see him on my chain.

By thy way, I totally admire you ladies who take great photos. This one photo below was such drama and took me forever. Ugh. To all you ladies with the beautiful photos with your nice background, perfect lighting, gorgeous props... you are such creative artists!

So, please forgive the bad photo, but on the other hand, this is as casual and real as it gets.
I hope this inspires more casual with bling looks!

I haven’t worn any of my five motifs as bracelets for years and have exclusively linked them with ten motifs to make longer necklaces as I preferred wearing bangles, and was also concerned about them banging around. Thought to try something new and paired the most durable YG one with YG clover and a custom made diamond pave bangle, together with a vintage cosmos pendant!

here is an old pic with the LE earrings before I changed my hair to pink. You can’t really see the pg (although it’s clear to me why I felt they were too small), but you can see with the YG necklace how gmop really does nothing for me and the onyx pops. i wear a lot of YG but not with a stone (guilloche or pave), and looking at this I see why - the pg is a softer look with the stone, yg alone/pave is fine but YG onyx is a bit harsh. The Wmop looks ok here, but of the three stones I think the onyx is best for me.

Being 100% honest here, and I get it as we are all our toughest critic and all have your personal preferences, - this piece in whole with its onyx, mop, mop, & YG, looks incredible on you! I do think the rg combo with the onyx is the perfect choice and will be striking. I hope you share with us when you do get it.
