What I Wore: 8.31.12

This outfit had all kinds of stuff going on behind scenes with it. I had my mind set on wearing the black Jax and nothing would stop me; not even my lack of a black skirt or tights, which were pretty much crucial pieces for the look I'd developed in my head. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Those tights were a back-of-the-drawer-find in my mom's dresser and have seen better days -- so many pills all over them. ANDD would you believe that the skirt I'm wearing is actually an old American Apparel cropped halter top? Why I owned that to begin with I'm not sure, but I wrapped the halter ties around my waist like a belt and BLAM! Changin' the blog name to MacGuyver Wears!

It didn't end there. Would you also believe my hair is only half done because I blew up the electrical outlet in the bathroom? I haven't seen that many sparks since my first date with Ryan, ba doom cha. Just kidding, it wasn't that magical of a first date. Sorry Ry! If you want to hear me talking about this incident (and hear me butcher the pronunciation of "joie" again and again), check out the video version of this OOTD on my YouTube channel, ChelseaWears.

Minoux Tiny Bar Necklace

I was lucky enough to be given a gift certificate to Minoux by my Ryan's mom in honor of my graduation (apparently they had combed through this here blog for a place to get me a gift certificate to -- the "online wishlist" is working! lol). In true Chelsea fashion, I spent it on the online shop within minutes of returning home -- it's called a shopping addiction, thank you very much.

Since she had been so generous, I had enough to get TWO of the necklace that caught my eye, the tiny bar necklace. It actually made it a lot easier on me to not have to decide between gold or silver; ya know, the eternal jewelry debate. I like silver on my skintone because of my cool undertones -- sometimes gold just looks awful with my skin when it gets pink/reddish -- but at the same time, I love dainty gold necklaces.... first world problems here, people. Woe is me.

I ended up buying the 19 inch chain; which sits at just the right spot (there is also a 17 inch version available). I still have $2 left on my gift card, which I plan to one day spend on the tubits necklace in gold (there is just that whole messy business of finding a job first!). Thank you, Mrs. P!
