Organized: Accessories

I wanted to accessorize more. Before the Project I wore my engagement ring and, when I remembered to adorn my neck, my grandmothers' pearls. Sometimes I would switch it up with another necklace or one of my grandmothers' cocktail rings. Gaga had some kick ass jewelry. And she rocked it.

But I wanted to utilize more. A little funky here. A little cleaner here. A little, well, different. I wanted more.

So I started buying stuff. All kinds of stuff.

The problem here lies in the fact that I had no where to put it. I was throwing it in a little pouch on the counter in the bathroom. Too much clutter.


Soooo, I had to go shopping!

I had seen a tree type contraption at Urban Outfitters a few weeks ago. I thought I was just drawn to it because it would have been PERFECT wedding decoration. Perfect! But alas, the wedding was over and I had no need for bronze mini trees.

Until my jewelry disaster area.


Works nicely, no?

And because I'm now obsessed with my buttons, I played.

Wardrobe: Outerwear & Accessories

Part of the Jordana Project is getting my wardrobe back together. When one is paying for a wedding, fun little things like clothes and accessories take a far backseat. It's been a long time. But I am back.

I need to get my wardrobe back on track. I've been wearing the same crap for far too long.

Today I hit Colorado Blvd in Pasadena for my favorites. Banana. JCrew. H&M. Ohhh and it was good. I may be a bit out of the game though, there was lots to inspire, but I actually bought very little. I've gotten amazingly good at window shopping. Whoa, who'dya thunk I'd ever say that?

I wanted a great light jacket for dressier times. I've been lurking on a fashion blog recently that I adore. She mixes Forever21 with Marc and Chanel is a silky smooth manner. She inspired me to go check out the cost effective Forever and I found the perfect one jacket. That place has gotten awesome. The details and the colors and the selection. Wow!

It's an eggplant color. Very rich without being purpley. I love the neck. I love the sleeves. I love the buttons. I feel super svelte. (Please excuse my general face. This girl was lucky to get up off the couch for the first time that was non-work related this week.)

My biggest plan for wardrobe in the Project is accesorizing. I don't do it. I don't really remember to do it. And mostly, I don't have the goods to go about it.

I saw these earrings on Something Old, Something New by Ginta Siceva. I adored them.

And Forever 21 had these!

Not QUITE as fabulous, but $4.80, it'll work.
