What I Wore : Casual Navy

A casually simple outfit today.

Perfect for school drop off. errand running. nursing a sick husband.

This look called for a comfortable bootie and a vest that's perfect for quick jaunts in and out of the car. 

A pretty necklace, this one via Uncommon Goods, is all it needed.

top - Joe Fresh {U.S. here}
vest - The Gap {not current / option}
sunglasses - Ray Ban
necklace - c/o Uncommon Goods
jeans - Fifteen {on sale!}
booties - Seychelles {on sale!}

I loved the story behind the piece almost more than the piece itself. 

The black onyx stone encourages happiness + good fortune while the peridot signifies healing and rebirth. The horseshoe needs no explanation.

The necklace, named "luck is believing you're lucky"  has a lot of significance for me right now.

A friend of mine is facing a personal struggle. One that she has been through before + didn't think she would face again. But, here we are.

She can choose to look at and approach her situation in many different ways.

I am confident that she will move forward with strength, dignity and a heart full of hope. I know that mine is full.

It will go from me to her sometime later this week.

I hope this pretty piece of jewellery brings both courage and a little luck.
