Neck Fetish

I've come up with another alliteration...ready for it?

Wish-list Wednesdays! Woooo

So get ready! This week's topic is necklaces!

The first necklace I have been loving ever since I laid eyes on it. It was originally a J Crew necklace priced at way more than I ever would intend to spend on any such necklace, so I did some digging of my own and found this beauty on an Etsy shop for just $18, now that's more reasonable.

Okay I feel like the world's biggest copy cat with this necklace. Yet another J Crew necklace that everyone in the world was fawning over. But lets face it, this necklace was practically meant for me. Roses? Casey Rose. It needs to be mine, soon. This beauty was also found on an Etsy shop for $28

Lastly what every woman seems to have in their possession nowadays - a monogram necklace. For whatever reason I can't seem to bring myself to spending $70+ on a little necklace. I don't know if it's just I find it much more justifiable to spend that money on clothing, something that will actually cover my body, or what. But looking back on all the dumb clothing purchases I've made in my two years of wanting one of these and I could have easily had one by now. But alas, I can only dream. This 1 inch monogram necklace was found on an Etsy shop, again? shocker, for just $64 (I can do that right?)

There you have it, the first installment of Wish-list Wednesday. Mom you'd better be reading this, because I do believe that someone's birthday is coming up in a months time ;)

Until next time,

Casey Rose

Back to Reality

...Oh there goes gravity...no one? Ok.

So my first day back to work was today and it was...work. I really wish there was such a job where I could just shop all day, wouldn't that be the dream life? It would also be a very expensive life. I did some shopping between when I got back from the beach on Tuesday to when I had to babysit that night and it really did some damage to my wallet. But every piece I bought was justified (sure it was...) so I didn't feel too guilty for buying them. The pieces posted below I believe will get a ton of use! They are clothing staples that will be in my wardrobe for years to come. The necklaces, however, were just because I want to build my jewelry collection...justified right?

This LBD is from a local boutique, it is the perfect jersey material that can be dressed up or dressed down. How could I pass it up?

This is how I styled it for work today with a new necklace as well.

The reason I bought this tank, aside from it being super cute, was because I really don't have a lot of yellow in my wardrobe and I decided that I needed a yellow shirt (my reasons are ridiculous...)

And here it is styled with one of my favorite necklaces from Francesca's

These two are shown styled above. Left from a local boutique and right from Francesca's.

These bad boys are my new babies. I have been eyeing them ever since we got them in at Francesca's. I wore them to work today and never had to take them off, they were so comfortable! These (here) are from Francesca's for $64 (I had a gift card and my employee discount, so of course it was justified), but I also found the exact same pair for $30 at Target (here).

Happy Shopping!

Till next time,

Casey Rose
