Ageless Style Linkup
For the February Ageless Style linkup, Daenel chose the them of choosing a fictional character to pull a little style from. Well, I really did rack my brain but this my friends is where you will learn I cannot fake it. This is also why costume parties always freak me out because I’m just not creative enough to carry off anyone but myself. Ha!
So, I had a colleague once who was older and always telling me I reminded him of Grace Kelly. One of her trademarks was wearing pearls so, friends, this is as close to Grace Kelly as I’m probably ever going to be.

I will say I snagged this sweater and am loving the color. It comes in tons of shades and I ordered in the jade and black as well as I wasn’t sure which I would love most. I’m so glad I took a chance on the purple as the color online looked more mauve. It is cozy but not too heavy and the mock neck is not overwhelming for my midlife hormones! Still not sold? It’s on sale under $25. Now I have the hard decision of determining which to return. I’m pretty sure the lavender is staying. I’m loving how it paired under this favorite coat of mine.
I also love these black jeans. They are pricey but I don’t mind investing in jeans if they fit well as I know I will wear them a ton. Thankfully these booties were a fast steal last February as I have definitely gotten my money’s worth. They were the bootie I never knew I needed!

Those pink and purple colours set against the ivory pearls look stunning! Beautifully fitted black jeans too! x
Love the purple because it’s my favorite color although I don’t wear it quite often enough (It’s also the color of the year!) And the pearls just remind me of a Southern Diva! Love this look, Shelly!
Well done Shelly! The pearls are definitely Grace Kelly-esque! I have no doubt you get a lot of wear out of those boots. I’ve been prowling for a pair like them for awhile now…

I’ll call you Grace Shelly!!! Hahahaha! Seriously what a sweet compliment your co-worker paid you. Grace Kelly is the epitome of class, style, and elegance! My former principal told me I reminded him of the blonde on Two Broke Girls, lol. I actually thought about using that for this month’s theme because I was coming up with NADA. She wore pearls all the time too so you and I were almost twinsies today.
I think your pearls are fabulous with your pretty sweater (great price btw) but I am seriously swooning over the leopard booties! I really want a pair but it’s almost Spring so it just doesn’t make sense right now. I just love how they really make an outfit!
Gorgeous you Grace Shelly!!

Kellyan
How wonderful, and you look so classy, Shelly!!
XOXO

Being your own self is always the BEST thing to be. And way to choose the purple for this post as well – VERY royal. 😉

I absolutely love that shade of purple on you! I’m a big fan of pearls too – I have several strands of faux pearls that I like to layer with silver chains.
I love that sweater! it is such a pretty color on you!
You look beautiful in purple, Shelly. The pearls are the perfect Grace Kelly touch! I have recently been trying to wear my leopard booties more often, so you are giving me ideas here…
I love that sweater, especially in that shade of purple! It looks great on you, especially with the pearls!
You look great! And the pearls are definitely very Grace Kelly!
Thanks for the link up & I hope you had a great Tuesday!

I never wear purple but maybe I need to get on board. Love the cut of the bottom of the sweater. Oh! I hate costume parties. I really didn’t even like dressing up as a kid. #onemorethingincommon XO
