My grandma was, and still is, one of the greatest blessings of my life. Spending time with her was always the best part of my day, and it was never enough. I’ll always love her so much and carry her around in my heart. A special way I get to still see her and feel close to her is by wearing her jewelry. She passed down so many amazing pieces to me, including pieces she’d been given by her beloved grandmother, which brings me to today’s outfit:
Create an outfit around your oldest piece of clothing
This outfit is centered around the necklace of course, which was given to me by my grandma and is one of the pieces that was given to her by her grandma. It’s a rose and yellow-gold cameo necklace made from conch with a Mother-of-Pearl teardrop. My great-great grandma lived during the 19th Century and into the 20th Century, making this, by far, the oldest piece of jewelry I own and perfect for this challenge!
This piece is very precious to me, and I plan to wear it only on very special occasions. However, today I’ve made a dressy-casual outfit that would work well for a romantic date. 🙂
Paired with skinny jeans and a delicate cami, the necklace is the focal point and the piece that elevates the outfit into date territory. The pink/nude heels play up the peach and pink tones in the necklace, drawing further attention to the piece and tying the whole look together.
For makeup, I’d pair this with a sweet look. Dewy skin, full lashes, and a soft pink pout would be perfect, as well as full, softly curled hair. 🙂
There you have it! That’s all for now – thanks for reading! 🙂
