Accessorizing on the wild side

My sister-in-law {Gail} can wear all types of jewelry and make it look not only gorgeous but also natural. I really admire her sense of style and how she just knows what will look good together.  I decided to take my admiration a step further and try to spice up my jewelry collection and step out side the box of what I normally wear (wedding band and boring silver post earrings).  So today I took a step on the wild side and wore a beautiful new necklace I just purchased from Allora Handmade. I originally saw it on Lisa Leonard Online where she mentioned that several people stopped her to ask about the necklace. Flip through some of her other 'what I wore Wednesday' posts and you'll see it matched with several other outfits. My closet consists of navy, brown, and black. Nothing in moss green yet that is the color I feel in love with - and am SO glad I did!

I contemplated getting the mini version but that would be skimping on stepping outside the box. I'm so glad I didn't skimp and got the wilder (for me) full size version.  Super duper cute. I'm now coveting another color {mustard} (another color not currently found in my closet) but she is all sold out so I have to wait [patiently]. (P.S.

Today I also sported a new ring that was also inspired by {Gail}.

I got it at Dillards on a recent shopping trip.
I originally wanted it on my pointer finger

but quickly realized my finger is a little plumper than I thought so I had to switch it to my ring finger.

The switch wasn't a big deal - I just thought it was more outgoing of me to wear it on the pointer finger.
