I took four years of French in high school, and while I’ve forgotten most of the language, I continue to have a love for all things French. Apparently, quite a few Etsian’s share my franchophilia. Here’s some gorgeous items for when you feel a bit of “Je ne sais quois”
Sterling Silver Eiffel Tower $29
For several weeks, I thought I had lost this cardigan. I searched all over the house, checked the lost and found box at work, but I couldn’t seem to find it anywhere. Then one day, I remembered that I had recently moved my handknits to a different drawer while reorganizing my studio. What a relief! Nothing feels much worse than thinking you lost a cardigan that took you a few months to knit.
Finding my cardigan gave me the perfect excuse to wear my new belt that I got at Anthropologie last weekend. I think I’m one of those types who likes to wear new things right away. I’m really, really happy with this belt. It filled a definite gap in my wardrobe, and I can tell it’s going to get plenty of use.
I’m really beginning to love wearing scarves tied up like this. They keep my neck nice and cozy, and they still allow me to add an additional pop of color with a long necklace. In this outfit, I echoed the color of the necklace by wearing a turquoise bracelet. I really love mixing yellow and pale blue/turquoise.
Do you like to wear new things right away? Or do you prefer to save new items for a special occasion?
