My Attempt at Fashion: Cobalt, Bubble Skirts + Bubble Necklaces!
You guys. Okay. I jumped on the necklace wagon. I got my JCrew via Hong Kong via eBay necklace. Only $7 dollhairs plus $5 shipping. WHATWHAT?!
I’m not gon’ lie. I’m obsessed with it and now I want it in every color.
ALSO, I found an AWESOME blogger, Christine Andrew, who also runs an AWESOME Etsy shop, ILYCouture, and she makes the necklaces, too! You’ve probably seen some of her styles floating around Pinterest…
Well, I have had this skirt for, what feels like, forever. And so I LOVED wearing the skirt again (I like to think it’s almost like a bubble skirt… amiright?!), pairing it with my trusty cobalt shirt, and my necklace!
What do you think? Would you wear this? Have you hopped on the “bubble necklace” wagon? Or whatnot.

[now, if you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you may have seen I posted this picture last week and polled whether I should go BELT or NO BELT? now, I know the photos above are sans belt, but i did end up going WITH the belt which I loved. I just didn’t have it on in those pics. i hope you’ll forgive me.]
- Skirt: South Moon Under (circa 2005?)
- Cobalt Shirt: Banana Republic Outlet (circa 2007?)
- Necklace: JCrew via eBay
- Sandals: Steve Madden
- Belt: Target
all that social media talk reminds me – I just learned about this “bloglovin‘” – i mean, i knew what it was, but didn’t set one up… well, i set one up. SO, you can follow me on bloglovin’, if you so desire.
also, i started Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 last night. I was dying. I mean, seriously. I felt like I was about to PASS OUT. I’m not trying to lose a bazillion pounds or suddenly fit into a size 4, that’s just not in the cards for me. I know what my body can look like and I know how I am when I feel healthy – and honestly, that’s all I want. So, we’ll see. I will keep you guys updated on the Jillian Michaels…
anywho. what are you wearing today? (i mean that in the least creepy way possible) – share your stuff in the comments below!
xoxox, all for now.
You’re gorgeous dear! I love your attempt on mixing and matching this outfit. I like it more when you donned a belt with it. Cheers!

I love this necklace, and while I do not like the idea of paying $150 for it from J.Crew, I haven’t decided if I want to risk getting it from Hong Kong yet either… so torn… decisions decisions
But you look lovely, and I definitely agree that the belt makes the skirt THAT much better!

I love this necklace, and while I do not like the idea of having to pay $150 for it from J.Crew… I haven’t been sure about buying a knock off from Hong-Kong yet either… so torn!
But you look fabulous, definitely agree that the skirt is just THAT much better with the belt!

Molly – I posted using the facebook thingy but don’t know if it worked, so I’m reposting here. You NAILED this, girl! That skirt is so, so so cute, and it matches the necklace perfectly. I love how you’ve paired it with the cobalt tee to give the ensemble some contrast. You look amazing!
haha i never know with those Facebook comments. sometimes they work great and sometimes they don’t. but i like them when they work well… oh well 🙂 but thank you so much for the sweet comment!! that means a lot. LOVING your guest post on S&S today!
I love this necklace and skirt! So cute! I can hardly believe you got it for $7! I’ve been seeing them all over pinterest and blog land. I would for sure go with the belt on this outfit.
Also, Jillian Michaels workouts are killer! Every time I do them muscles hurt that I didn’t even know I had! Haha!
thanks for the sweet comment, girl.
and yeah, i am DYING today. jillian is NO JOKE.
Looove the necklace!! It’s adorable!! I almost got a cheapo fake jcrew necklace to wear in Vegas but it wouldn’t have made it in time.
The Jillian Michaels workout is no joke!!! It’s legit!! I can’t do it more than two days in a row if I want to be able to sit down lol.
now you can get the necklace to wear ANYTIME 🙂 🙂
and yeah, my abs are SO SORE today
Love the blog and this outfit!
Thanks for the tip about the bubble necklaces! I love them, but am not going to spend $100+ on them. Now the decision is what color to get! 🙂
thanks, erin!!!! i know, i have been pining over what colors to get 🙂 🙂

thanks, pippa!! i am REALLY wanting to order it in other colors now… 🙂 🙂 🙂
I love this outfit! All the pieces work really well together. I would totally wear this, if I had such a cute skirt as this. Apparently I’m not very big on skirts as I don’t have that many when compared to my ridiculous dress collection! I haven’t busted out my J Crew via Hong Kong via eBay necklace yet, but I like the way you wearing yours!!
thanks, girl! i have been trying to get back into buying skirts cause i LOVE them 🙂
