I Mesh.

I’m just another link in the chain.
~ Jeff Gordon  ~

This fun & stylish bracelet is made of 6 different chains all in different metal colors and measures 7”.

Attached to the bracelet are five ½” wire mesh boxes in black, silver, gunmetal and a coppery color.

The earrings measure 1¼” and are also made with the ½” wire mesh cubes but in a copper color on silver french wires.

This bracelet and earrings are a little trendy chic but a little rough & ready as well.  Could go either way and with either look.  

I felt a bit of all of the above, so, I've paired them with this hooded camo military jacket from Forever 21.  It features spiked shoulders, snap button epaulets,  three quarter zippered sleeves,  full snap button placket, four patch pockets with snap button closures & a drawstring waist.  

Under the camo hoodie I've layered this basic white cami.  It comes in a stretchy seamless fabric with a flattering scoop neckline and stylish racerback from Charlotte Russe.

What better to transition from summer to fall than these Baja denim shorts from Forever 21. These distressed denim cutoffs feature a baja-inspired trim, zip fly with button closure and five-pocket construction.

Pulling the look together from head to toe are these black Naturalizer® Jakes from Zappos.  A flash back to your combat-boot-wearing days with elegant, grown-up appeal.  They are vegan leather with a decorative lace up front and inside zipper closure.

Final accessory is this chic and edgy Kenra Leather Crossbody from The Sak™ handbags at Zappos.   It has a hint of casual sophistication with its supersoft leather and adjustable crossbody  strap.

Polka Dots are Exuberant, Chic and Whimsical

I don't think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot...

These vintage white with black polka dot earrings measure 2".

They are made from re-purposed vintage jewelry parts. The white ball measures 20mm and I've added two silver bead caps and a 6mm black glass bead





Next is this vintage white beaded necklace. The acrylic beads measure 17mm, they remind me of the gum that came out of those bubblegum machines.

The necklace measures 18½" and has a beautiful box tab insert closure.
 

 

We must have more polka dots to go with these whimsical yet chic earrings, and what else other than these fun textured polka dot leggings from Forever 21.

                            

For some color, I've added this relaxed v-neck Arch Bay  t-shirt from Hollister.  Great for layering or worn all by itself.

 

Layer it up for those crisp fall evenings with this River Jetties denim jacket again from Hollister California. Medium wash with a classic fit and special hand done destruction.

Finishing off the accessories are our shoes and bag.  First we have these American Eagle double zip cranberry suede booties.  They have a stacked 3" heel and studded detail at the zippers.

 

What look isn't complete without the bag...Here we have this classic, Madewell estate tote in variegated with a structured shape and magnetic closure. Rolled handles and optional, adjustable shoulder strap. Lined interior with 3 pockets in a beautiful dusty burgundy from Shopbop.
