Short suits were a huge trend seen on the runways for spring and I, for one, am a big fan of this combination of tailored pieces. But, since I began a spending freeze in May, I knew I couldn’t go out and buy a new blazer + matching pair of shorts. So instead, I used items I already had in my closet and went with basic black, plus a dash of sparkle. How amazing is this emerald stone necklace from BaubleBar? The colors make it look so rich & it’s one of those pieces you could wear in winter or summer. Since I love layering jewelry for a maximum statement, I paired it with another favorite BaubleBar piece for Friday night cocktails with my girlfriends.
Check out how my girl Kiley styled this same necklace over on A Sequin Dress at Breakfast.

What a great suit to have in anyone's closet. You can dress it up or down and it's great for any season.
If you get a sec, I'd love to hear your thoughts on my latest.

You can't tell that the suit didn't come together! I like the longer short and more cropped blazer. It make sit very modern.

That's the great thing about short suits… with an already owned blazer and shorts you have the look! And that necklace does add the perfect amount of pop to the look! You're stunning!

you look so beautiful! And love the sleek take on a short suit.
I know short suits are in, I just can't like them. Wouldn't the suit look better with a skirt? I guess I'm just pretty traditional, and I've never really liked shorts. Eh well, you still look great! 🙂
