Although the first day of Spring is technically March 20, setting our clocks forward for Daylight Saving Time over the weekend signals the start of the season for me.
Of course, it's always summer when you live in Florida, but I'm looking forward to seeing more spring-time looks out of my wardrobe and in other blogs. I know everyone further north can't wait for warmer temps so they can say goodbye to all the snow they've been seeing.
Let's talk about this cool, psychedelic necklace by ViviDot via Etsy. I was first introduced to Molly Hooper's unique designs by ModCloth. I bought a couple of her pieces that way, and when I went back to look for more, her designs were gone. :( But much to my delight, one of my favorite bloggers, Marisa Noelle of The Shades of Monet Chronicles, linked to Molly's Etsy shop in one of her latest posts (Outfits: Doubling Up)!
I immediately found this necklace, which I adored, but I wondered if Molly could use a silver-colored chain instead of the antiqued brass one that it came with. I sent her a message, and she got back to me within the hour with a picture of two silver-colored options. The one I chose ended up being sterling silver, and Molly gave me tips on how to keep it from tarnishing and didn't even charge me extra for the more expensive metal!
I'm just super impressed by her design aesthetic, her magnificent craftsmanship, and her customer care. Thanks, Molly!

LOL! You're so sweet! Looking forward to posting more spring outfits! :)
DeleteI love La France! I've never bought anything in there because of how expensive it all is, but I love to look at all of the pretty things they have. And that necklace. Wow. it's totally yellow submarine-esque and I love it.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! When I go in, I make up my mind I'm not spending more that 20 bucks on one item, and I've lucked out a couple times with purses. This one and the confetti one I posted a week or so ago were $20 each! Have you shopped at Revolve Clothing Exchange next door?
DeleteThis outfit is the cutest, love the blue and yellow together friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, friend!
DeleteWow this is one of my favorite outfits of yours! Loving the blue and yellow with the pops of bold color in the accessories. That bag is just too amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! This turned out to be my most favorite post I've done. I think the accessories really make this outfit shine. :)
