Growing up I always wore earrings. Then one day I stopped. No particular reason. After seeing a handful of earrings that I liked, I decided to make an effort to start wearing them again. Two hangups I have with earrings:

• They are not visible when I wear my hair down
• I feel like I have to tone down my other accessories when wearing them

Another exciting item that I would like to highlight is this amazing bow brooch!  I picked out this beauty during a J.Crew 30% off promotion. I love brooches and have acquired quite a few but need to push myself to wear them more often.

I love a feminine sweater jacket and this peplum one fits the bill. It’s dressy enough for the office but still casual for the weekends. Another way to wear this look is to swap out the jeans for navy cords, change the top for a different color, and swap the wedges for riding boots.

I can’t believe we are mid way through January. Time is passing quick. Have a great weekend everyone and see you Tuesday!
