Floral Rings

Mixing Patterns

Last weekend’s temperatures were a bit too chilly for a sleeveless top, but too warm for pants – and it was the perfect opportunity to mix two of my favorite patterned items. But those Forever21 rings were the icing on the cake. At just $1.50 each, I picked up two to wear side-by-side, sort of like a double-finger ring without sacrificing dexterity.

I spent an hour sifting through pebbles to find opalescent stones when I visited California’s Moonstone Beach. While I did unearth a few, they’re not nearly as pretty as this pair of faceted earrings.

I picked up this dress on a whim and it’s already become a wardrobe staple that I often reach for. Even better? It was only $60. I suspect the cost-per-wear will be mere pennies before summer is over.
