gimme give you.

last month i participated in an accessory swap
hosted by pam at over50feeling40.
i mean, who doesn't love getting packages...
packages chock full of accessories for that matter?
and, that is exactly what i got.
i was paired with reva of revasrags2roses who went above and beyond sending me all kinds of goodies. i refrained from telling her what i liked, because i thought this would be a great opportunity for me to accessorize outside of the box. she actually sent a couple of pieces that fit my current style, like feather hair pins and a huge silver statement necklace, as well as some vintage and pre-owned pieces that she loves, like a beautiful scarf and purse. also included were some fun pink hair extensions, a bodysuit, a vintage key,
and a whistle signifying city safety.
i LOVE every piece...thank you, reva!

i had so much fun playing around with the accessories that i didn't know which outfit to post first. here's how i incorporated the pieces into my own style.
check back tomorrow as i do it up...reva style.

(jumpsuit, armani exchange; sweater, l.a. store; shoes, aldo)

let's head on over to see how reva styled her pieces.

That clutch is so fantastic. I love it!

And the color combination you have going on today is seriously one of my favorites. I've always tried to pull of an oversized sweater this well, but what looks so chic on you always looks a little more 'granny' on me.

Oh well...I'll just admire your look from afar instead :)

Claire said...

i LOVE that clutch and how cute are those feather clips?!! you are so gonna be rockin' those! great outfit. the aqua with the yellow is perfection!
