The day after a New Year's turn up I wanted to do absolutely nothing but relax and be super comfy.   We went out for a few errands, and I wore a super cute over-sized F21 cardigan and my new pair of Banana Republic jeans.

I accessorized my look with a thrifted necklace and metallic rings from JoJo Rings.  JoJo Rings are super unique because the rings are all one of kind, and made from 100% recycled keys.  The company also donates to charity for every ring sold.  JoJo Rings and Something Old, Something New share similar missions of revamping something old (old keys), into something new - refurbished rings.

I would love to give you guys one of these amazing rings.  Leave a comment below, and I will randomly pick a lucky reader to have one of these awesome rings.

Emjoi Micro Pedi

In this post, I would like to share with you all a wonderful product that I have recently been introduced to.  The Micro-Pedi by Emjoi has been my go to home pedicure device since receiving my trial sample in the mail a few weeks ago.  With this product, I have been to achieve flawlessly smooth and soft feet and heels that mirror salon quality work in the comfort of my home.

To help you guys visualize the Micro Pedi, I would describe it as a pumice stone attached to a roller that spins.  It's definitely safer and more effective than using a blade or knife on you feet.  The device is very easy to use, and it is battery powered.  The Emjoi Micro Pedi can be purchased online at emjoi.com (as well as other select retailers and high end catalogs).  They range in price from $29.99 - $39.99.

Now that all of that is out of the way let's talk about how fabulous this light pink leather skirt from Zara is.  The skirt is a unique color and I just love the A line style of it.  Very flattering.  I paired my skirt with the cutest shrunken sweater.  I scored the sweater at the Goodwill for about $2.99.  It has a very 1960s inspired look, and I figured it would pair nicely with several pieces in my wardrobe.  Fun tights, and neutral shoes complete the look perfectly.

In this outfit I feel like I am Something Old, Something New - the brand.  I am wearing both thrifted (the sweater) and current (skirt form Zara) clothing, and I am completely confident in myself.  This look is my Power Outfit.  A power outfit isn't about wearing a black or navy suit; my power outfit is about being 100% unapologetically myself.  As a young child I was encouraged by my grandmother to explore style options, and to not be a conformist.  That piece of advice is ever-present in my world...and wardrobe.
