LOOK OF THE DAY: EFFORTLESS AND AFFORDABLE PLAID & LEGGINGS LOOK

Happy Wednesday, Fashionable Friends!

I hope your week is going well, I'm here with a long overdue Look of the Day post!  Yay!

This past week, I sported the below on a day adventure and then dinner out.  It is a super comfortable fall look and, best of all, it's affordable, which is music to my ears! 

It features a classic tunic dress and camel hobo bag sent to me from Sammy Dress.  I paired it with my trusty, and beloved, black leggings from Costco, yes, Costco, and booties from Forever 21.

That said, I think it would be great dressed up with some black opaque tights and dressier boots or fun heels.  Simply add a little camel or black jacket and/or scarf and you are ready to transition into the evening and cooler months, when the temperature drops a little.

The entire look is super affordable at under $100, aside from the Alex & Ani bracelets, which were gifts. Yet, they are classic should you want to spend just a little more and wear for years.

OK, onto the look, full details and product links.  Let's go! :)

AFFORDABLE ACCESSORIES: DELICATE JEWELRY FROM ILLUSY ON ETSY

Happy Monday, Everyone!
Recently, I was looking for a more affordable vertical hammered 14k gold filled bars necklace to replace the one I had, loved and wore almost daily, but was lost last year.  
Needless to say, it was not an easy task.  Turns out, most only have one bar on their necklaces and I wanted 2 at different lengths.
I'm a huge fan of Etsy and supporting other creative people and small business owners.  So, when I came across the illusy Etsy Shop and they had one, and once I saw the price at $28, I was sold!
When it arrived, less than a week later, I was beyond impressed!  The packaging, attention to detail and little personal touches truly made my purchase a special and happy experience.  This was when I knew I had to share her shop and my purchase with all of you!
The illusy shop is owned by Janet in California, and she offers a variety of delicate, handmade jewelry accessories from necklaces, bracelets, rings and more.  I picked out some of my other favorites to share with all of you as well.
Enjoy, and if you are in the market for a new, delicate piece of jewelry or a fun, affordable gift, I'd check out her shop.  You won't be disappointed and will be sure to find something special. ❤
Side Note: Happy Birthday, James Dean, it would have been his 85th. Adorable illusy packaging, hand written note and personal touches. ❤
