orange must haves. by orange

Once I like something, I rarely stray from it.  This seems obvious...but sometimes I think i might take it a bit too far.  For example if I find an entree that I like at a restaurant, I will likely continue to order it time and time and time again to not risk being disappointed by another choice on the menu.  Yes it does limit me some...but hey at least I'm happy every time I leave that restaurant.  I digress.

This summer - some favorites and/or staples for sunny weather have already become apparent - even though in Seattle we've really only had 10 days of summer so far (for those non-Seattlites...summer here does not start until July 5th). 

Here are the orange must haves:

bring on the shine. by orange

I love things that sparkle.  What girl doesn't really?  I've spoken of my lust after shiny, bright, sequin-filled things before.  Well today, I brought the sparkle to work.  I had heard from a friend before that even though sequins are all the rage right now, they are more for after work and on weekends.  For the past couple weeks I would look at my sparkly, sequin filled top and think - hmmm...will it work?  will it be too flashy?  As the holidays are right around the corner I thought it was the perfect day to try out some glitz at work.  If people think it's flashy...well, they might think I'm just being "festive."  This outfit also shows off my love of putting together grey and gold.  Probably 2 years ago I would have thought, grey really only goes with silver.  Well now I just can't seem to get enough of the grey/gold combination.

Here is what the outfit contained:

Kate Spade Dice Bracelet (pictured above is the earrings, I couldn't find a picture of the bracelet for the life

of me).  It's kind of like this, but with only a gold chain and gold dice.
