I’ve always been inspired by the “What I Wore Wednesday” concept I’ve seen e-floating around out there in blogland, so I thought I’d join in on the fun this week, too! 🙂
Kevin and I ventured out to Neighbor Jenny’s barn this week to snap some photos of some of my latest Fall favs- American Eagle jeans, a v-neck t-shirt and super soft blazer from JC Penney, boots and a light-weight, gingham-checked flannel shirt from Old Navy, and my prism necklace made by my friend, Â Lucy.
The blazer is made out of a jersey material and it is soooo comfortable. It’s fitted, and has a coordinating pinstripe lining, so I like to roll up the sleeves a little so that shows. Looks like JCPenney.com only has it in black now, but it’s on sale for $35.99 so if you’re looking for one in that color, I definitely recommend checking it out.
As for the Old Navy flannel shirt, I have a few of them (all different patterns) and I really love them, too. I wasn’t sure about how it would feel underneath a blazer (I don’t do well with “bunchy”), but these two pieces actually layer really well together.
The prism necklace is so much fun to wear, too.
Like I mentioned up top, it was made by my friend Lucy. Remember Lucy? From Southern Accents and The Chapel Market? She has such a knack for creating beautiful jewelry using architectural salvage.
That’s an old chandelier crystal in that photos above, and I just love the feel of it. It’s solid, and weighty, and cool to the touch.
I got the drawer pull necklace from her, too:
How pretty is that? I’ve been pairing it with white t-shirts and v-neck sweaters lately and I get so many compliments on it when I’m out and about. Sometimes it takes folks a second to realize it’s actually an old pull! 😀
I’ve got a couple of Lucy Lockets leather cuffs, too:
Our wedding anniversary is 6/25 so I had to have the locker number one when I saw it in sitting in a box in her truck last month! I fell in love with the green beaded one at The Chapel Market too…
I love the way the (thin) leather bands move with my wrist, and my heart skips a beat every time she posts one of these kinds of pics on Instagram:
(She’s @LucysInspired on Instagram!)
I texted Lucy yesterday while I was putting together this post and asked if she was running a Cyber Monday sale over at her Etsy shop next week.
She was so sweet to text back with a coupon code just for TLC readers, so if you’re interested in checking out her gorgeous creations (*cough* Kevin *cough*) and you find something you’d like to purchase, use the code: TLC2013 when you check out to receive 15% off of your order. (The code will be good through December 31st, 2013 and she’ll be adding more pieces of jewelry all weekend!)
Anywho, this isn’t a sponsored post or anything- I just thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite Fall finds today…including this one named Millie:
Jenny- you’ve got quite a precious “prop” over there in your barn! 😀
Danielle
I LOVE Lucy’s jewelry. I picked up a necklace at Haven and I can’t tell you how many compliments each time I wear it (and I wear it a lot). x
Layla
Cool! I wear mine a lot too! 😀
Jo @ To a Pretty Life
I love your outfit! Boots and jeans that fit in them are my favourite thing to wear. And I love the layers. Unfortunately for me, my upper body doesn’t do layers very well at the moment (It’s bulky enough on its own 😉 But I’m working on that.) The jewelry is perfect too!
Layla
Thank you, Jo! And I’m with ya on the boots-outside-the-jeans thing too! LOVE IT!

Layla, love your blog and am always interested in what you have to say or show us. Had to comment on the picture of “Millie”. I have 2 German Shorthaired Pointers, they are 13 and 15 years old and look just like her. My dear Mom’s name was Millie, she passed 2 years ago, so the picture struck a heartstring with me. Blessing to your and yours and Happy Thanksgiving!
Layla
Hi Barb 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and leaving me this precious comment today. I hope you have a blessed holiday season, too!
Helena Dias
You look amazing
Layla
Thank you, Helena! That sure was nice of you to say!
Netty
going today to pick up a blazer at my local JCP…LOVE THAT! 🙂 Knit…how awesome! I hope I don’t feel the need to purchase something you wore every Wednesday….if you keep up with this series I might end up broke. 🙂
Layla
LOL, Netty! 😀 I did have a lot of fun with this post, but I’m not sure I can commit to doing one every Wednesday. Maybe ONE Wednesday a month is more do-able! 😀
Claudia
Girl, blue is your color. It is SO your color, you look great!!!
Layla
Thank you, Claudia! I’ve always been partial to blue. My grandma in Minnesota is too! 🙂

Cute stuff, cute El!
Love the keys on those cuffs. 🙂
Katie @ On the Banks of Squaw Creek
Love it! You are so dang cute! And I love that you’re wearing Navy and Brown. I’m fair haired, fair skinned like you, and it took me a LONG time to realize that navy and brown look so much better on me than black does!
Suzy B
I recently bought that same blazer at jcp. I get so many compliments when I wear it. Can be dressed up or casual. Love the look!
Karisse
Your entire outfit is adorable. That prism necklace is AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!
