WIW : Streamlined Black and a solitary pearl:)

Hi Ladies,

I am so over the hot weather. I think I am done with summer clothing and am now starting to think about Autumn/Winter.

Today, with thanks to some cooler weather, I was able to get back to a little layering and wore a new item bought with Autumn in mind. It's a sleeveless jacket / vest in black. Fabric is soft but still has a little structure which I like. I have quite a few tops that will go well with this over my slim pants for the office.

Sleeveless Draped Jacket : Tempt
Kaffy Cami : Motto
Skinny Black Jeans : Katies
Shoes : Novo

Also debuted my new pearl pendant. Thanks for the suggestions on my other thread. I went with a small square diamond stud earring so as not to detract from the necklace.

Thanks for looking. All comments, thoughts, suggestions much appreciated.

The first thing I noticed was how well the pearl fits in the neckline. Then the vest. It looks perfect for your style. I like how it has some structure at the shoulder. YLF.

What a fabulous outfit! I love the necklace and the vest is perfect.

We lost our local Temt and Valleygirl stores. I have no idea why and I'm very disappointed. There were treasures to be found in both.

Thank you Lisa! Funny thing is I bought the bed yesterday and came home to see Motto have a very similar sueded version available end of Feb!!! This wasn't pricey but is a nice fabric and looks a little better quality than it is:)

Thanks Joy. I think I'm going to really enjoy this pendant. I have quite a few v necks and I think it's going to work with most of them:)

Coco we have just got Temt at our complex. Used to shop them in Melbourne. They do have the most amazing gems amongst a sea of very poor quality clothing. Finding this was totally unexpected. I found a couple of things around the 40.00 (pricey for them) mark that I found interesting:)

Oh Deborah, this is lovely! The pearl is perfect. The vest will be a great addition. And I adore the neckline on that top ;-).

Helena

The pendant is gorgeous!

As everyone else has noted, the first thing that struck me was how beautifully the neckline and pendant complement each other. So gorgeous, and very "you."

What lisap said. Except a vest like yours is a winter piece for me! It's waaaay too hot here still for any sort of layering. Glad it's a little cooler for you.

You look amazing in this. I love the necklace, and the way it sits at the perfect length with that neckline. Darn, now that I'm figuring out how to work the pearls on me, I want that necklace -- I could see mixing that with other silver and/or pearl pieces for a layered look too.

I'll send you some of our snow to cool you off... although next week we are supposed to have temps back up in the 50s (10 C or so). Stay cool!

Such an interesting shape on your top, from a distance it looked like a large necklace on a crew-neck.
This is how you always make your black and layers so Fab with unusual designs and the contrast with lighter hair and skin-tones.
Lovely!
