A Jeweled Collar

Did y'all know that J.Crew changed the design of their No. 2 pencil skirt? What the heck! Aside from the fact that they wrinkle like crazy from sitting/general wear, they are nearly perfect in terms of fit. Now, to be fair, I haven't tried the new style on, so I could very well like them as much or more, but the feedback I've gotten so far has not been positive. It made me thankful to own the original version of this skirt in an embarrassing amount of colors.

Yesterday I paired it with a J.Crew factory jeweled-collar blouse. I love the feminine detail of the ruffled and embellished collar.

Before I go, I wanted to share the one item I picked up from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale--and it's these gorgeous faux calf hair, leopard-print heels by Halogen. I love the lower heel and that the print is calf hair, I always think that looks more expensive when the shoe has an animal print. They fit great and are on sale right now for $59.90! You can buy them here.
