Wednesday definitely was a "I need some color" kind of day and the weather had cooled down considerably. So I took the opportunity to wear the coral tweed moto jacket I got on sale at Anthro a few weeks back. When I first received the jacket I wasn't sure how I felt about it because it is substantially brighter than the photos on the website made it look. The flecks of coral and pink in it are very bright neon over a pale blush foundation on the body of the jacket.

After looking at it for a bit and trying it on with a few different outfit options, though, I decided I like the brightness of it. Coincidentally, it happened to perfectly match a pair of neon coral skinny jeans I have. While colored jeans might not still be all the rage I find I like them still, so I continue to wear mine -trends be damned.

While there's lots of brightness in the outfit I kept the respective elements simple. Basically an oversized and flowy white scoop neck tee, skinny jeans and oxfords.

The neckline on the tee was perfect for framing a delicate and interesting antique Victorian era gold necklace that depicts a spider web accented by a seed pearl complete with a tiny dangling gold spider whose body is comprised of a seed pearl and persian turquoise. I love how delicate and lightweight this piece is (you can't even really feel when you're wearing it) and the symbology of spiders and webs are fascinating to me (as is the symbolic meaning of most creatures throughout history). They symbolize many things, including: creativity, patience and being the weaver of one's own fate.

So, all in all, the outfit was the perfect counter to my hormonal, puffy, gross-feeling self. While I felt a little "sausage-y" in the skinny jeans because of my foolish hormones I managed to tell myself to get over it and feel pretty good that day.
