Hiya Tuesday, it's late I know but the heat has made my brain dysfunctional so apologies for the late breaking post. Tomorrow is my birthday and though there's not much I want in terms of material stuff, I do acknowledge that with age comes a greater appreciation for the classics. No, I don't mean Bach or Beethoven. What I do mean, and what I usually mean, is my fashion aesthetic. Yes, I will always wear clothes that skew more rock and roll than not, but I'm becoming more and more a fan of pieces that feel "timeless" and effortless and can be worn for years to come. Disposable fashion not really my jammy jam anymore, unless a trend strikes me that requires a quick trip to H&M, but I'm always pairing those pieces with something more basic and classic.
But classic can be boring or stodgy and we all know this- so the best way to rock the classics is to do so with a twist, which is why I am heavily hearting on Nektar De Stagni's amazing jewelry. I am a huge fan of pearls, which I like to layer with other necklaces, but how amazing is this ombre dipped necklace or even better, this shark tooth enhanced stunner? Can you picture Barbara Bush wearing either of those? No? Good.
Also what's not to love about these XO earrings? Pearls are every preppy girl's rite of passage, but doing them this way brings in a bit of wit to an otherwise boring accessory. Yes please. I mean, I'm old, but I'm not about to turn into a Stepford Wife anytime soon, though sometimes the thought of that is indeed appealing. A girl needs to keep things interesting.
So what I'm saying is even though I'm getting old as them there hills, I still got it. For a little while longer anyway. I just need a little help from some fabulous accessories and the right pieces to wear on the regs. I'm obsessed. And though my pre-birthday wish skews more on the side of wishing for justice, humanity, and sanity, I'm not mad at an edgy pearl thing or two. Cause that's what's up this punkish pearl of a Tuesday in the 212. Link below. Enjoy. XO
