Peplum and Chain

Bet my East Coast Friends would rather just have some rain



Leather Peplum Top: H&M  (Topshop $36 Version)
Long Sleeved Tee: H&M
Necklace: Local Boutique
Jeans: Rock & Republic
Boots: Charles by Charles David (boo they're hidding under my jeans?)
Jewelry: Forever 21 & Ebay
Sunnies: Chloe
This is my third outfit post featuring something with chains this month!  I certainly never thought of chains as the focal point of an outfit but they certainly do create more of an impact than I realized!  I purchased this particular necklace from a local boutique specializing in handmade jewelry.  I know many of you are DIY enthusiasts and decided to look around and check out some tutorials.  Thought you'd be interested in Jewellery Maker, a website that teaches you how to make jewelry with step by step videos...is anyone thinking about holiday gifts yet?

My thoughts are with those of you who live in the East Coast!  I've been keeping up with the news alerts!  Dandy Sandy has brought us arctic winds but that's nothing in comparison to the snow and flooding!  Stay Safe and I hope the rescue squads reach those in need sooner rather than later!

  3. I love the purple centre of the outfit Bessie, it's just perfect, looks incredible, love your recognition of those on the East Coast, it's very worrying right now and I hope everybody's okay.

  4. I love that blouse, and it looks great with another shirt underneath. I'm keeping the East Coasters in my thoughts as well. Some of the people at my firm had to cancel their marketing trip to NYC because of Sandy, but part of me is happy that they are safe in CA.

  5. You are looking very stylish in that top and the jewelry you are wearing is fabulous. Thanks for sharing the link on jewelry making. I will take a look at that. I hope your area/place of work is safe from hurricane Sandy.
    Wishing you a happy day !

  11. I love chains too! Your peplum top is girly yet edgy because of the material and color - I love how you paired it with chains too! The whole edgy versus feminine thing is definitely going on, and I love how you made it work in this outfit. :) x

  29. Love how the long sleeves look under the leather peplum! I love chain necklaces! I tend to pull mine out more in the winter since they can make such a great statement against dark colors.

  37. Sandy was even all over Estonian news since quite a few Estonians live in the States these days. I hope everything will be alright there!
    now, when it comes to your outfit I like the layering and I've noticed that several bloggers are combining jeans with peplum lately. I like the combo!

  78. Great choices here Bessie. My bestie almost bought a similar one (around $90) from Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie (I forgot which). So I am sharing this with her!!

    Is that color the same as your coach gloves?
