It’s finally happened!  Daytime freezing temperatures have finally given in and decided to move on. The fact I was able to wear this outfit without a coat and still be able to manage a smile…miraculous! Now if only evening/nighttime temperatures could follow suit, we can officially say goodbye to winter and hello to (Michigan) spring.

Recently, I have found myself being more and more willing to spend a bit more on each individual piece of clothing (sometimes even *GASP* at full price!) because I’ve been getting into the habit of purchasing more quality pieces that I know I’ll wear a lot as opposed to cheaper items I feel I may simply cast off after a few wears. I’m finally getting it into my thick skull that purchasing a bit pricier things and keeping them and wearing them for longer actually saves more money than buying cheaper things that I only buy because they are cheap.

One item I’ve been really excited about is the bubble statement necklace.  I had been looking for this particular necklace for a while, and finally found a good quality one on BaubleBar.com for a fraction of the price.  A statement necklace like this really adds polish and pop to a simple sweatshirt/jeans outfit.  If you’re interested, BaubleBar is still selling this necklace at the sale price…but they are going fast, so make sure to check it out soon. You’re welcome.

UPDATE: Looks like the BaubleBar necklace is officially sold out.  Sorry, folks!
