I have a couple people to thank for helping me with this outfit.
First is Wendy of Wendy’s Lookbook, who recently posted this yellow top/green bottom outfit. The weather was hideously cold this day, so my freakishly warm cashmere cardigan was the only thing I could think about wearing. I probably would have worn plain ol’ blue jeans, but I had just seen Wendy’s outfit the day before so I busted out the green. I do love an unexpected color combo.
The second person to thank is Patricia, one of my readers who also makes jewelry and who sent me this blue and white beaded necklace. To keep from looking too First Ladyish in my lace and cardigan, I layered it over my spike necklace. I really like how it turned out!
Patricia sells other unique pieces in her Etsy shop, and for the rest of this month, she is offering 25% off any order just for Sarah’s Real Life readers. Find her shop here and use the code “REALLIFE1” for your discount!

It looks fantastic! I love how you layered the two necklaces – definitely a different feel for each one!
On to some business: unfortunately etsy is being super-weird and not allowing me to use the coupon REALLIFE…. it WILL however, let me use the coupone REALLIFE1 – so, please, everyone use that coupon for 25% off until the end of the month – just for your lovely readers Sarah! Enjoy!
OK, I will update that in the post. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks. Also – I just wanted to say – I never EVER wear green and yellow together because I always feel like it looks… blah… but your outfit is SO not blah! I may have to wear some green and yellow together sometime soon!
I would have had no idea those were to separate necklaces! They blend perfectly together and look awesome as a pair.
I love that necklace. I’ve never actually tried such a dramatic necklace with the spikes, but it’s on my list of fashion related things to try in 2013.
