Dolman sweater

I only recently discovered the Dolman style, but I love it! It's so flattering. This sweater is so fun because it's a great color and it's sparkly!

I'm wearing Copper Canyon, Jane earrings, It's a Wrap bracelet, and Starlet bracelet (both gold). I'm also wearing a pretty gold tennis bracelet that you can get for free by watching a youtube video! Comment below or email me at caitsellspremier@gmail.com to find out how!

Emerald and peach

Emerald was the color of the year in 2013, but I'm still loving it! This is another of the sweaters from my most recent Goodwill haul.

Isn't it pretty? I'm wearing it with the Papaya, necklace (one strand doubled), the peach Gumdrops earrings, the gold Down to the Wire ring, brown It's a Wrap bracelet, and Fired Up bracelet.

Do you still wear previous colors of the year?

Summer dreaming

Statement earrings are going to be big this spring, so why not just go ahead and start breaking them in now? I've had this dress for quite a while and it's fantastic for summer vacations: Comfy, light, and so cute!

Because of the shape of the beaded neckline, there aren't any necklaces that really go with it, so I'm wearing the Jane earrings and an arm party!

Arm parties: Gold bangles from Crush, Pistachio, It's a Wrap, Starlet, and Jasmine ring.

Ivory Lace

Today is our three-and-a-half-years anniversary. Is there a fancy name for that? Well anyway, I don't get to wear my dress again every year, so I'll be wearing something at least a little similar - ivory and lace.

I'm wearing the two color strands of Belize and the Zoey earrings.

Do you do anything special to celebrate your anniversaries, big or small?

Shades of red

No red here, but this is really close to Marsala, which is the color of the year for 2015. This is a great shade that looks great on just about anyone. If you don't have a maroon piece of clothing, head over to your local thrift shop and get something! I just found a perfect Marsala cardigan at Goodwill this weekend and I can't wait to show you :)

I'm wearing the gold strands of Belize doubled with the gemstone strand from Work It, and the Work It earrings. Belize is an awesome necklace to mix and match with other pieces.

The warmest sweater I own

This is the warmest sweater I own. It just doesn't go with any necklaces I own. So again, statement earrings!

Aren't these earrings pretty? They are light, and the rounded bottom helps soften harsh jawlines.

It's Cold!

It's really cold this week! At least it's not raining like it did all weekend. Then we'd have ice and we all know how Atlanta handles ice...

Fortunately, we ladies get to handle the cold in cute sweater dresses!

I love this dress, but I can't wear a necklace with it. Enter statement earrings! Darcy goes well with this ivory-brown combo, don't you think?

It's scarf weather! It has been for awhile, I just don't always think to wear one :)

How do you wear scarves with your jewelry?

Double up December: It's a Wrap 1

My dear husband knows me so well. So well, he can pick clothes out for me better than I can. This dress is one example.

Isn't is pretty! I wasn't 100% sure about it at first, as I am with most items I can't wear a necklace with. But this works perfectly with statement earrings and a fun headband!

Do you have someone in your life who seems to know your style better than you?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Double up December: Lavish Blooms 2

First and most important: Merry Christmas! I hope you get to enjoy this day with family and friends and remember this is the holy-day that allows us who have accepted Christ to be one with God. How can you not at least smile for that amazingness??

I hope you've had a fantastic day with celebrating the day God became man because he loved you and me that much :) Merry Christmas!

I've shared before that I'm not a bit mono-chromatic fan, and the following pictures show another reason I shy away from it.

Yes, I've been eating lots of Christmas goodies, but no, I haven't put on that much weight!! So lesson learned: when wearing all black and long sleeves, give some space between the arm and body!

Jewelry: Lavish Blooms necklace, gold bracelets from the Crush set, and Shine Bright studs.

Double up December: Belize 3

Red, gold, and leopard! It's my last day of work for Christmas, so why not be super Christmas-y? I've never really worn red and gold together before, but I'm loving this warm, sassy look :)

I'm wearing the three gold strands from Belize doubled and the Shine Bright studs. Seriously, do yourself a favor and buy the Shine Bright earrings (two pairs - one silver, one gold) for $23. Such a great deal!

Double up December: Belize 2

I still can't believe it's almost Christmas! All my shopping is done, but my wrapping isn't. The plans have been made, but the house isn't completely spotless yet. So hard to be a Mary this time of year!

I'm wearing a blue chiffon shirt from Van Heusen and white dress pants from Goodwill. My husband always found good deals on Van Heusen from Kohls, but I never knew they sold women's clothes. Then we found the outlet store. Well, now most of my new clothes come from Van Heusen. Plus, the sizes run big. Size 0 for everyone! ;)

This is Belize worn long with all five strands and the Zoey earrings.

Double Up December: Belize 1

Yesterday was a crazy day. My husband had to take an exam in Athens and locked his keys in the truck! So I drove down there with the dogs (any reason to go to Athens and/or hang out with my dogs!) and we spent the afternoon walking around campus and downtown. He passed the exam, by the way :)

This is Herbie and me by the English department building, where most of my classes at UGA were. I'm wearing thrifter jeans, a sweater I got for Christmas a few years ago, and the gold strands of Belize. 

It was cold, but we had fun. Still can't believe it's almost Christmas!

Here's our monster tree, by the way. That's a whole other story. 

Double up December: Hopeful 3 (bonus!)

I want to take a second to talk about bras. If you've been following my blog for awhile, you'll know I love a good bargain and don't mind wearing secondhand clothes (and get most of my clothes from Goodwill). But when it comes to undergarments, I fully believe in spending more and making that investment. That's why, when Victoria's Secret has a good deal, I'm all over it!

In the process of Christmas shopping, I discovered that Victoria's Secret was having one of the usual sales of two bras for $42. That's a lot, but think of how many times you wear your bra. And how much comfort right there means. They were also giving away coupon scratch-offs, and I got one free bra! So we found a nice-looking sports bra (that I haven't worn yet) and got it free. PLUS, they were giving away necklaces for spending a certain amount. I'm not sure what amount it was or how I ended up earning it, but I'm not questioning it :) I paired it here with the Hopeful necklace.

What are your philosophies on bra-buying?

Double up December: Hopeful 2

Pre-Premier, I never considered layering my smaller sentimental necklaces. Now, I love it. The framing draws more attention to that sentimental piece, and everyone can benefit from a little more bling :)

This is the Paradise Found necklace, which I wear all the time. Click on the "Paradise Found" tag to see all the posts with it.

Do you frame your sentimental pieces?

Double up December: Hopeful 1

This necklace will make a great Christmas gift for someone you know named Hope, who's going through a hard time, or likes simple necklaces that have a lot of meaning.

I paired the Hopeful necklace with the gold Down to the Wire ring (order this one size up - it runs small), and the Shine Bright earrings.

This was a comfortable outfit for a little Christmas shopping. As fun as going to the mall is, I'm enjoying online shopping a lot more this year! What are your best Christmas shopping strategies?

Double up December: Kaleidoscope 1

I saw this necklace in the catalog and literally thought, "Ugh, how ugly." Then I saw it on one of the other ladies at training and fell in love. Premier is allowing jewelers to host their own parties once each month for a year starting this November, and I got this necklace for free from my last show. It matches pretty much every color in my closet and does quite a few things, such as ...

I'm wearing the necklace short with the Nova earrings, Kaleidoscope stretch bracelets, Jasmine ring, and gold Starlet bracelet. These earrings are huge and pretty, but actually really light.

Ketchup and Mustard

This is an outfit I've always avoided, but went for it today (because nothing else was clean).

Condiment lady! Mustard on top, ketchup on bottom!

I know maroon and mustard are both big colors this fall, but I still feel like ketchup and mustard in this outfit. Hopefully the Paradise Found necklace helps pull the colors together. What do you think?

Just Lavish

This necklace was featured earlier this year on my blog (back in the caitsellspremier.blogspot.com days), and it's about time to bring it back.

Being all cozy again, I wore a cowl neck sweater with this incredibly blingy necklace:

This cowl kind of does its own thing, but I love how this necklace really dresses it up. I'm also wearing the Shine Bright earrings.

Now for the age-old question: do you wear black or brown with navy blue?
