For me, jewelry means necklace. I usually do wear earrings to work, but I mostly rotate among half a dozen different stud earrings and a couple small drop earrings, almost all of which were made by RB. I cannot deal with the awkward clunking of wearing a bracelet at a computer keyboard. I don't switch out my watch. I don't have an eyebrow piercing to worry about. So yeah, necklace it is. But I love a big-ass statement necklace as much as the next girl who is not teething a baby.
This outfit (that was sent to me by StyleUp) has olive pants and a statement necklace, so let's get to it.
Blue gingham is definitely one of those popular Pinterest outfit basics, but any button up shirt will do. Olive skinnies transform themselves into baggy (and wrinkly) old-school cotton pants and meet up with one of their new best friends, maroon ankle boots. Add an awkward pose, and presto!

Red bubble necklace (Outfit Additions)
I tried and tried to make another necklace work, but this red bubble necklace just would not be denied.
Blue and olive is a nice color combination, but I'm digging the red/olive thing I have going here. Christmas-y? Maybe a little, but I think I'm not too strongly evoking the Ghost of Christmas Past.
Verdict: Bubble necklaces may be passé, but pair one with baggy cotton pants and you've got a double passé, which I'm pretty sure is a winning hand in one of those casino games James Bond played in Monaco. And it doesn't get much cooler than that.
Also, this was shockingly well-calibrated to the temperature in my office building. I felt quite comfortable all day, though I was prepared to remove the sweater layer as necessary. Fall layers in spring for the win!
