The Spoils of Swag

I told you that I would reveal the three items that I selected at the clothing swap on Sunday. So without further ado, numero uno!!!!



An Yves St Laurent flared hem jacket. So cute on the hanger, but wait until the end of the post to see how it looks on. Next, another jacket, this time from Nipon Boutique.



This one will have to be saved for cooler weather, but it's also really cute. The fuzzy trim goes around the collar, down the front, and at the top of the pockets. Lastly, a Loft skirt.




It will also have to wait for some cooler weather. It has machine embroidered trim at the hem.

So that's what I got from bartering. But, a box came again yesterday, with three things that I actually paid for :). Saks was having a flash sale, with some items 70-80% off, so I got three bracelets that I have been eyeing. First, a brass link bracelet with two Howlite stones.



Then, a multistrand bracelet of amber toned beads with a cool crystal clasp.



And finally, the matching bracelet to the enamel ring that I wear all the time.


So let's see how some of this looked once I put it on. First, my outfit for today:


It's the YSL jacket with a pair of Armani trousers. The shape of the jacket is adorable. It has wide shoulders and a nipped in waist. This shape makes me think that the jacket is 80s vintage, but it has either never been worn, or not worn very often, because it is in pristine condition. On my right arm,


The two matching enamel and crystal pieces!!!! Luuuurrrvvveee it.  On my left arm,


My wedding rings, and a stretchy crystal bracelet that I got at Saks last year, when I got the enamel ring. For my necklace, I stuck with the polka dot theme, but branched out as far as colors are concerned.


This is the necklace that I got at Charming Charlie a couple of weeks ago. I was going to wear some Valentino sandals, but the heel was too low for the length of the pants.


They are the ones on the right. So I switched to my Payless $10 wedges.




And the big reveal is over!!!! So let's link. First, Jess from www.elegantlydressedandstylish.com is having Turning Heads Tuesday. I finally feel somewhat elegant and like a head turner :). Then, Kileen from www.cuteandlittle.com is hosting On Trend Tuesday. And finally, Lauren from www.stylelixir.com has her weekly Style Sessions. I hope you have a great day and get yourself all styled up as pretty as these ladies did!!!
