Ask and you shall receive! Lauren commented on my last This Week in Fashion post saying that one of my outfits deserved a full outfit post. I agreed and happily obliged!
I always feel so good when I wear this blazer. I hunted on eBay for months to find it in 2005 after Emma Watson wore it. I finally found it that Christmas and then last year I had to find another one because I grew out of the original. I still have the first one for sentimental reasons (it was my first designer buy) and because I can wear it as a 3/4 sleeve. I'm liking this monochromatic look. It makes me want to buy more black pieces so I can do it more often. Or perhaps I should just get a lot more purple and maroon clothes to do that.

Happy Friday! It has gotten quite chilly over the past week, we even had some snow on Tuesday morning. Pretty soon I'm going to have to start wearing my real coat. As you can see I repeated my outfit from Saturday, but no one at work had seen it so I figured why not! I also stayed true to my word (from yesterday) and wore a couple skirts this week!
I'm looking forward to this weekend. Tonight I'm headed to my aunts for a massage and sleepover in exchange for helping her with her website. Then I'll probably head to Marshalls at some point to shop for my next Project Fab posts! Super excited for these upcoming ones!

Here is the outfit I wore to debut my Anjolee necklace (detail photos and information here.) I also wore the newest sweater in my closet. I got it on at Madewell when they had an additional 40% off sale items + free shipping, my favorite kind of sale! As I've said many times before - my Fall (and Winter) uniform is a sweater and jeans. I need to force myself to wear skirts and dresses in the cold weather and to try new combinations, but on weekends I always fall back to my foolproof look. Why dress up when all you'll be doing is hanging around at home or spending hours shopping at Marshalls, Home Depot and Michael's (like I did this day.)

Who doesn't love a good diamond? Exactly. Anjolee recently let me choose a diamond necklace from their site to review. I chose this GORGEOUS three stone horizontal pendant. I am a big fan of the less is more mantra when it comes to diamonds (if they're too big they look fake, in my opinion,) so these smaller ones are perfect. The quality of the necklace is superb, although I had a little trouble putting it on (I blame it on the fact that I couldn't see the clasp and it is smaller than average.) The necklace is the perfect size and is a great classic, dainty piece that I will wear for years to come. This necklace will definitely be in my rotation for daily use, it will compliment any outfit it is paired with.
The best thing about Anjolee is the fact that you can customize each piece exactly as you want it. So you can go for the best of the best or a more budget friendly option depending on your needs. They offer 7 types of metal, various total carat weights, diamond quality and size, for each jewelry item on their website. Many of the pieces also include colored gems which you can choose making them great for gift giving: birthstone jewelry is always a good idea in my book. For example, the diamonds in the necklace below can be switched out for gemstones (either the center one, or the sides.) I toyed with the idea of making the center diamond an Amethyst (my favorite color) but decided to keep it basic.
Check back tomorrow for the outfit post featuring the necklace!
* Mine are not actual diamonds; for the purpose of the review I was sent a sample with cubic zirconia rather than diamonds.
** I received the necklace free for the purpose of this post, all opinions are my own.
