A Chain Reaction

Posted by Jalisa on Jun 25, 2013 under Casual

Hello gorgeous ladies!

When I first saw this top in Marshall's a few months back, I knew I had to get it! What drew me in was the chain detailing around the neckline. It's such a bold piece, which takes the place of a necklace. Tops that have their own necklace like detailing, help give the appearance of an outfit that was so carefully put together, even if you just threw the top on with a simple pair of jeans. So, if you're one who just doesn't have a knack or interest in pairing looks together, especially with incorporating jewelry in the mix, these types of tops are perfect for you! What I also loved about this top was that not only did it have the chain, the style is very flowy and with the weight of the chain weighing it down a bit, it doesn't emphasize my smaller chest, which would automatically cause focus to be placed on my larger hips. I would suggest these tops mainly for pear and rectangular/boy shaped women, since it can add some dimension to your upper body. You apple and hourglass ladies don't need to add any dimension to your upper body, so you may want to avoid these types of tops, it might make you appear even larger!

As for the shoes, I purchased these babies yesterday, when I needed to stop by the Nine West outlet to make an exchange. I was credited 345 9loves (9loves is their free rewards program) points for a mistake made on their end, which totaled up to $20 in coupons. They were, and still are, having a buy one get one 1/2 off sale and I could combine that offer with the $20. The only problem was that the representative who added the points to my account, placed it there yesterday morning and it takes 30 days to process. As you can imagine, I was a little disappointed, but I asked the manager at the store to call Nine West and see what they can do for me and they offered a 20% off coupon for me to use in store yesterday, without touching my $20! Talk about awesome savings, right?! As you all know, I LOVE color and my eyes instantly gravitated to these shoes, I know I'll be getting a lot of wear out of them!
