Leopard and Fringe + WIWW Link Up

It's Wednesday and that means it's "What I Wore Wednesday Link Up"!  Today I shot my first blogger photos with the help of my talented little sister (thank goodness she has a degree in art and was totally up for helping me out); and good lord it was cold out!

And, because I'm new to the blogging game, I didn't really have anywhere to shoot (and the backyard isn't very spectacular in winter, when everything is dead, ugh), but I had a great time hanging out with my sister.  I'm a little intimidated about doing more shoots, but I'm excited at the same time to keep trying and learning what does and doesn't work!

Top: Ann Taylor find from a few months ago (LOVE the faux-leather sleeves!)

Skirt: Ombre Fringe skirt // Ann Taylor

Shoes: Leopard loafers are an old Target find from a few months ago (I have a matching black pair too!)

Watch: Cecil Multifunction Stainless Steel Watch // Fossil

Glasses bracelet: Goreski Glasses Bangle // Kate Spade

Lokai bracelet 

Bag: Selma Large Patent-Leather Satchel // Michael Kors

Kisses neckalce: a clearance find from H&M

P.S. Ann Taylor is having a sale, up to 70% off!  (I got my skirt on sale for under $50!!!)

I used to shop at Claire's ALL THE TIME when I was younger. When I got older I discovered the more grown up version: Icing. 

Now, every time I hit the mall I always make sure to pop into Icing. They have great accessories that are on trend and affordable (my wallet thanks you guys over at Claire's & Icing).  And recently I've snagged a few pairs of earrings that are to die for, that I wanted to share with you guys:

I absolutely love my Bumblebee studs!  They're kind of quirky, yet easily chic.

Double Pearl.  Double the pearl, double the fun and always classic.

Anchors away!

While I was searching the Icing website for the earrings I already had, I came across a pair that I absolutely must have!  (Friday is payday and I know exactly what I'm buying first.  *hint, hint* it's the earrings below!)

#hashtag; These would make the perfect Christmas gift for that blogger in your life!

P.S. They're also having an amazing sale going on right now (up to 80% off!!) so now's the time to scoop up some sparkly pieces to brighten up your winter (which'll be here before you know it) or some early Christmas shopping!  :)
