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! 😀
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
Cool! I wear mine a lot too! 😀
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!
Thank you, Jo! And I’m with ya on the boots-outside-the-jeans thing too! LOVE IT!
you are beautiful. inside and out!
happy thanksgiving.
XOXOXO!
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! 😀
I LOVE THIS! So beautiful, so unique, so gorgeous!!!
I agree, Brianne! I’m in love with her wonderful work too! 😀
I’ve always thought you had such a fresh, natural beauty. I love your outfit and boots!
Agreed!
Thank you, Stacie! 😀
Thank you, Kathy! I appreciate your kind comment and hope you have a happy holiday weekend! 🙂

Those photos of you are beautiful 🙂
Thank you, Bev! 😀
Thank you, and have fun shopping! 😀
You’re just one of those women who gets prettier, not older. I think it every time I see your picture!
Happy Thanksgiving from Texas!

Well that was just so sweet of you to say, Ms V! Happy Thanksgiving back at ya from Alabama! 😀
I absolutely love Lucy’s Inspired jewelry!!! Thanks for the reminder and the discount code. Snatched up a pretty leather bracelet for myself ;-).
Woo hoo! I hope you post a picture on Instagram when you get it. I want to see which one you got! 😀
Layla . . . LOVE this post . . . you are so adorable! Wishing you and Kev a wonderful THANKSGIVING! Know that you bring a smile and a chuckle to me . . and this year I’m ever so grateful for that and you . . . . blessings! Donna
Thank you, Donna! Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! 😀
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!
Hi Barb 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and leaving me this precious comment today. I hope you have a blessed holiday season, too!
You look amazing
Thank you, Helena! That sure was nice of you to say!
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. 🙂
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! 😀
Girl, blue is your color. It is SO your color, you look great!!!
Thank you, Claudia! I’ve always been partial to blue. My grandma in Minnesota is too! 🙂
Welcome to the WIWW family!
I loved LOVED this post. Your girl after my own heart!!! First of all I love LOVE fashion. And I hate bunchy stuff too, can’t do it. Your outfit was awesome. And Layla I gotta say you ARE simply beautiful. I know inside AND out! You just glow behind the camera…just glow!!!!! Thank you for your awesome blog, and those yummy cuffs. I have 5 now. I know right:) Can’t help it…just love em”…you must check out farmgirlpaints.com sometime, she has really cool cuffs. Her shop just closed until I believe February:( but her stuff is really awesome, AND if your interested jeannineoliverdesigns.com also. No advertising her either…lol Just love both of those sites. Ok gotta run, a turkey to cook with all the fixen’s AND gotta go check out Lucy’s site!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Kevin.
Lisa p.s. OH Kevin did you get your pretty lady’s hint…
hee hee!!!!
Cute stuff, cute El!
Love the keys on those cuffs. 🙂
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!
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!
Your entire outfit is adorable. That prism necklace is AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!
