I have been thinking about this striped jacket at Gap (and this other one with neon coral stripes, too). I like the pop of the coral color under the lapel and on the cuffs. In putting this outfit together, I decided to pull in some of the other big trends this season with a floral statement necklace and some relaxed, rolled boyfriend jeans. And, for shoes, a classic black pump, but with an open side detail.

Fringe Necklace

I recently purchased this necklace at The Limited (during a 45% off sale!); however, I have struggled with what to wear it with and how to incorporate it into what I have in my own closet verses what the store paired it with. I loved the necklace but just wasn't sure… Recently, I found this sweater at Nordstrom and it sparked an idea that I could pair it with black and my grey denim. When cleaning out my closet this summer, I debated getting rid of my grey jeans that I have had for a few years, and I am so glad that I did not because it is a trend this fall and it worked for this outfit!

So, this is what I came up with from my closet verses the store.
