Touch of Luxury: statement jewelry and subtle perfume - Miss Dior Cherie and J.Crew Necklace

A few years ago, my fiance gifted me a J.Crew over-sized clear bead necklace with adorable satin bows and gold crown accents.  I may not be able to wear this day to day (and my current schedule doesn't allow it), but whenever I want my look to feel more luxurious, I always go back to this J.Crew necklace. When going out, I also tend to wear the fresh scent of Miss Dior Cherie, review here, because it is subtle and the main notes are sophisticated.  Accessorizing with bold jewelry and a sweet scent is my way of treating myself - J.Crew and Dior are just the right touches!

Touch of Luxury: Chanel eye glasses - Chanel gold and black

Talking about accessories, you may or may not know, I wear glasses almost daily.  And because glasses go on your face, everyday, ...and people see you, everyday..., I decided to invest in my absolute favorite - Chanel eye glasses with the signature Chanel braided chain sides.  While these Chanel glasses were quite pricey, I can't see myself ever replacing them - the Chanel glasses compliment my face and are comfortable while also being chic (and they help me see, hooray!).

Touch of Luxury: Two-toned flats for a sophisticated look - United Colors of Beneton flats

Running around DC has taught me that I absolutely need a sturdy, comfortable pair of shoes.  I like basic ballet flats, but at the same time, I tend to pick ballet flats with embellishments and geometric details.  These United Colors of Beneton flats were affordable, look professional, and are playful - my touch of luxury here is walking comfortably (girls should know that's the ultimate luxury!).

I like investing in purses and handbags because these never go out style, always fit, and are useful for any occasion.  Because I work in a professional setting, I tend to choose faux-briefcase style purses or clutches than transition from work day to happy hour (hehe).  This green olive briefcase clutch with detachable chain was given to me by my sister, Mackenzie - it's absolutely lovely!
