Silk & Stripes

Sweatshirt + Skirt

You know when you have brunch plans on a Sunday, but you stayed out later than you planned the night before? This was my dilemma last weekend, when the hubs and I were set to go to Westchester for brunch with his family. So, I hauled out my comfy clothes, put my hair back, and added the perfect pop of pink. This gorgeous strand of silk-covered beads is from a New York City-based brand called Mercer Harp.  They come in a rainbow of beautiful colors, and each necklace is handmade and unique. I love that this brand was founded by a fellow New York City girl, with the goal of creating versatile statement pieces. This strand will definitely be on repeat throughout the spring and summer, and I can’t wait to layer it with other pieces from my necklace collection!

    A brilliant look! I’ve had way too many Sundays like yours…and always wake up not feeling my best and not wanting to squish into uncomfortable clothes for a Sunday engagement. Your look is comfortable, but still put together and cute! I am definitely taking some inspiration from this one 🙂 xx

    • Thanks so much, Zoe! It’s tempting to even just throw on jeans and a tee, but much more fun to wear something like this 🙂
