Sprinkled with Gold

Today’s outfit is not earth-shattering or super-inventive, but it is a variation of my work uniform for those days when I’m feeling less than creative. All I really need is a cardigan and a pencil skirt to look presentable in the office.

But what I do think makes this outfit a little more fun is a sprinkling of gold accessories and my very beloved polka dot tights.

Can I sidebar for a moment on these tights? I have been wanting polka dot tights for forever. Seriously, I’ve lusted after them for a couple of months, which is eternity in my book. So my very sweet husband made several stops while traveling for work until he found me a pair. He deserved a little blog recognition for that one. :)

For my accessories I layered one of my daintier necklaces with a large one rather than rocking my typical statement necklace, but I think layering can make just as much of an impact as one bigger piece.

I even doubled-up on my bracelets, mixing gold with rose gold. It seems like gold-tone jewelry is my go to these days.

Do you find yourself wearing more gold than silver jewelry?

    I love the touches of gold! I have a silver belt but not a gold one – I need to get one! And I love that tassel necklace!

    Love that your husband took the time to find you the perfect pair! And what a great job he did picking them out. I have been wanting a pair for a while now too :) I love how the gold accessories give the outfit a little something extra. We all have our “go to” work outfits but I love that you mixed things up by adding all the pretty accessories.

    i definitely have outfits like this, too, that i rely on when i’m not feeling that creative. my go to is usually a pencil skirt and cardigan too. and i love the effect of your layered necklaces, that is something i have not yet tried (i don’t really think i have any necklaces that would look right) but this is good inspiration!
