Simply Stated

There's a funny story behind these photos.  They were taken on Sunday before Sandy was expected to hit.  I figured I'd get a one-up on the weather and get some outfit photos snapped and also wanted to take a photo for the What We Wore fall remix challenge (you can check it out here).  While snapping photos, on the roof, a gust of wind came up, blew open the door, blew away my doorstop cardboard (it gets really technical up there) and thank goodness I reacted quickly enough to grab the cardboard and the door because otherwise it would have shut and locked me out.  I know this because it's not the first time I've been locked out on the roof... 

That would have been a funny phone call to the Super ("I'm stuck on the roof, can you let me in?") and my manager at work ("Uh.... I might be a little late to work because I'm stuck on my roof...").

Thanks Sandy!

Anyway, the reason behind the title of this post.  I picked up this statement collar necklace at Anthropologie recently and I'm in love with it.  I love how it can transform this simple jeans and knit top outfit.

Purple Pants and Trench Coats

The weather has been so lovely lately!  Made me feel better about not throwing on a cardigan yesterday.

Blouse: Ann Taylor, Trench: H&M, Pants: New York & Co. Clutch: BCBG, Shoes: JS by Jessica

This is what I wore for #StyleMeMay "used to scare you" - it took me a looooong time to warm up to the colored pants trend.  I love them though - they put such a pep in my step!

Hope you all are having a lovely week!
