How to Wear DIY: That necklace I made, from that bracelet...

  • 4.12.2012

A while back I made this necklace, recycled from a J.Crew bracelet... I've worn it to work a few times, but last weekend I wore it for hanging around at my parents' place.  Paired it with my new mint tee--I'm a little obsessed!  This one was only $5.80 at Forever 21 but gives me a flash of that fun color.

And it was warm enough to cuff my jeans!

They have the best porch swing. 
Sweater: Gap via Goodwill (similar and similar). Tee: Forever 21. Jeans: Levi's. 
Flats: Land's End. Bead necklace: DIY, recycled!

The relaxedness and springiness of the outfit took the necklace down a bit, right?  Not too dressy.  Ohhh, I can't wait for some more nice weekends coming up this spring!
