Chloe + Isabel Jewelry: Multi Charm Garden Bracelet//Retro Glam Crystal Necklace
I just wanted to mention a couple noteworthy broke girl tips that I incorporated in this look:
Use a tie belt from another garment to transform a dress.
I usually like to wear a traditional buckled belt with a dress like this, but decided to switch it up with a tie belt that goes to another dress. It is a great way to use what you already have and make it new.
Layer two (or more) necklaces to make it look like a new necklace.
I love layering these necklaces to lay one on top of another because it almost is a new necklace. And maybe you already layer your necklaces--well try something new! Always good to switch it up.
Wear something old, a new way. I originally wore this cardigan, which has a low scoop neckline and is cropped, buttoned up and paired with a tank top. However, it looks a little outdated when worn that way today. What I have done above is just tucked the top corns under. Rethink the pieces you already have clearly can be worth it.
Besides my little tips, I must mention that I am obsessed with these shoes I found. The see through effect is almost like an optical illusion that makes my legs look much longer than they usually do {a rare occasion for my short self}. I'd like to think they are my wanna be 3.1 Phillip Lim shoes or one of these designer pairs {here}. They have a touch of elegance that I just adore.
Also, who loves the kelly green and navy color combo!? ME! Especially in {these} J Crew pants. To die for!

I like yours green dress and actually i hate green color dress before, but yours looks really comfort, not very bright and dark ,perfect color! I believe you'll love the Black chain strap bag and that's really great to us!
