NY & Co. Triple strand studded belt $17

Just got this belt and wore it immediately. And then wore it again the next day. Already loving it to pieces. I think I'll have to return my belt form Macy's as it's not getting any love now that I own this one. I hope it deals with wear and tear well. I've never gotten a belt from Ny & Co. At least, not one that had a buckle.

Four months later, this belt is holding up great. I use it moderately often, very often for a belt. It adds a bit of interest when I feel that an outfit is boring. I'm officially deeming this a good purchase decision.

NY & Co. Pendant: CZ studded gold snake

I fell in love with this piece as soon as I saw it. Unfortunately, it's a part of the Red Collection, and usually excluded from promotions. Until clearance time. While it wasn't discounted, I did get to use a coupon on it, which made it $25. I was absolutely willing to pay this, as the thought of not owning it caused me mild chest pains.

I have worn this several times since purchase and I LOVE it dearly to this day. I am so glad that I got it, even though it's too sexy for work and I can therefore only get away with it on the weekends. I like snakes on jewelry and this execution is perfect. My only small complaint is that in the photo the snake has red eyes, and mine has black eyes. But it's still really fierce.

NY & Company White Necklace: silver toned- multi strand

I needed one more thing to push me over $50 for free shipping, so I chose this. I have used it plenty of times since I got it, it's very versatile. It's a necklace that makes enough of a statement for me. I had the clasp replaced since mine came with one that stuck, and I ordered it online. Thanks goodness I'm good friends with a jewelry maker!

NY & Company White Shirt: Daiquiri +

I was obsessed with this shirt from the moment that I saw it, but the $50 price tag was completely off putting. I grabbed it then it went on clearance online for $8. I love it. I still love it months later. It has the same strange collar as the other shirt that I got, so it does pick up foundation from the neck. But it has lots of ruffles and I love that. Totally worth it for the love factor, even though cost per wear has not been stepped up yet. We'll wait until later in the year.

New York and Company White Shirt: Martini

Tuxedo Shirt! I love these. Unfortunately, I don't use it often. The collar is not the usual foldover kind, and it picks up foundatin off of my neck. But I love it and maybe when the temperatures go down will wear it more often. I hope. Cuz I do love it.
