I've been wanting to re-wear this outfit for weeks but it's been too darn hot! Then on Saturday we had a day with a bit of a chill to it so I was able to wear it! Wearing this cardigan doesn't add all that much weight to my look but lately I haven't even been wanting to wear t-shirts so this was out of the question. Obviously the sweater didn't stay on all day but I did keep popping it on when I got a bit chilly and needed a bit more than the thin silk dress.

What I love about this outfit is the dress and cardigan are the same length so it creates a nice streamlined look.  I also wish I could wear these sandals more often but they're very old and starting to come apart in certain spots so I don't wear them as often as I used to. They were a weekly or bi-weekly wear back in the day!

The Original:

This outfit doesn't totally scream Spring but I think it has a small touch of it since I'm in "lighter" layers than I have been the past couple weeks. I won't complain too much though because this day was still pretty nice out and we had some sun! I wore this for a day of running errands - aka going to Stew Leonard's and Trader Joe's, two of my favorite places to splurge on groceries!

I haven't worn my Chanel on the blog in a while so enjoy some nice detail shots of it! I'll never get over how gorgeous it is. And the leather is just sooooo smooth. *drools*

Happy end of March!! I was successful with my now buying clothes/accessories this month! I did add a couple pieces thanks to a collaboration with Azaggi Jewelry. Let's see if I can continue my streak with a no spend April! I'm trying really hard to curb ALL my spending the next few months (except for a trip to Florida I've had planned and a quick New York City visit for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.) More info on why at a later date.

Earlier this month Azaggi jewelry offered me a couple pieces from their affordable and high quality line of jewelry. They have all different styles of jewelry perfect for everyday wear or special occasions. Azaggi is based in Los Angeles, CA and was founded in 2012. I really appreciate companies that give back and Azaggi supports environmental, educational, community, and charity campaigns. They are also committed to socially responsible sourcing and manufacturing to minimize environmental impact.

Since I'm reaching capacity on my fingers I decided to choose two sterling silver necklaces. I picked out a really pretty crescent moon and a tiny owl hoping I would be able to layer them together. I got a 20 inch chain for the moon and 18 inches for the owl and they work perfectly when layered. When I showed my mom she thought it was one necklace.

I am super happy with the quality of these pieces, you can feel the weight of the silver when holding on to the charms which I really appreciate. Sometimes with silver pieces can feel light and cheap, these feel like super high quality pieces without the large price tag. Both pieces come in under $40 ($38 and $33 to be exact.)

By a happy coincidence the necklace almost perfectly matches a pair of tiny owl rings my sister got me for my birthday a few years ago. Maybe I can get a pair of crescent moon earrings and do a nice mix and match!
