A couple of things I'd like to address: First is the choker necklace over the buttoned-up shirt. It's a very fashion-y thing to do; I've seen 's stylists, editors and my sister execute this look. This woman pulls it off in a way that doesn't look contrived to me. If you're inspired to try it, here are a few sparkly chokers: one cheapie from (which I have and adore) and another by . Moving on to her sequin-trimmed jacket: It's from , and I bought it when I was in New York two weeks ago. It's super cute, especially when paired with more informal pieces, like lived-in jeans. I love how this woman teams it with a casual checkered blouse, rather than something fancy or expected. This top could also be the coolifying (i.e., refreshing) antidote to the other past-season boxy cropped jackets I have in my closet. Here's a checkered blouse from to consider.
