adding some letters to the end of my name, and bold jewelry for summer

I graduated yesterday!! Now you can just call me Natalie ____ J.D. pretty exciting right?

I also haven't posted in the past couple of days because I've been dealing with the whirlwind of having my family out for graduation. They all finally went in their many different directions this morning and I am seriously exhausted and can't wait for a relaxing weekend. Here's my fav pic, its my and my grandfather and you can def. see where I inherited my signature sort of confused scowl from. The rest of my photos are all normal and smily, but I just love this one too much to not post it despite the unhappy faces.

I'm really wanting some bright, bold necklaces to accessorize with this summer and thought I'd post my picks (you know, instead of buying all of them right now, which I was quite tempted to do on first sight with almost all of these.)

my fav is this new solstice necklace from anthro, if I buy just one big, bold necklace in the near future it will def. be this one. I think yellow matches a surprising amount of other colors and is a great pop of color in many outfits. it does come in a more muted pale pink for those of you who prefer something a bit more subdued.

The beaded swag bib necklace, also from anthro, is one I really want to see in person. I feel like it will either be amazing, or just down right terrible and overwhelming. I'd go with the green, but the yellow is fun too.

the long multi strand beaded necklace from ann taylor loft is very neutral, but still somewhat bold as a result of its general size/design and reminds me tons of a much more expensive piece that shop bop is selling that I posted a couple weeks back.

the feild nap necklace from anthro is lovely. like reallly lovely. but realllly pricey. But seriously, little turquoise flowers clustered together. just too pretty.

I might try to pop back in an post an ootd- but I'm not 100% I'll get a chance too. Thanks for reading!! :)

  8. Your grandfather is SO cute!! BTW, I've had my eye on the beaded swag bib necklace - - I definitely want to see it on a real live person first, though! I've noticed that I'm always surprised by Anthro jewelry sizes.
