I made the patchwork necklace out of small fabric samples. After picking out the colors I wanted, I took a pair of pinking shears sawtooth edge sewing scissors (which you can buy here) and cut three scallops on the bottom edge of each fabric square. After sewing the fabrics together in an arc, I sewed black ribbon on both ends of the necklace which allows the necklace to tie beautifully at the back! This petal effect creates a scallop collar that you can add to any outfit. I chose a more neutral palette because my fabric samples were limited to that, but if you choose to use bright and patterned fabric this necklace will definitely turn heads!

I am in love with this DVF colorblock jacket. It's a refreshing piece to have in my closet alongside the typical black blazer. The navy sleeves make it a much more casual jacket which allows me to dress up with white trousers or dress down with a pair of denim ankle skimmers. I'm really trying to work in color here! Baby steps, baby steps.

I love love love these shoes that Vince Camuto sent me last month! I typically stay away from brown, but this dark camel matches my skin perfectly so it's a great neutral summer sandal for me. Despite the higher heel, the t-strap makes it extremely comfortable for walking. Get yours here!
