BLUE VELVET

TOPSHOP Velvet Bardot Top J.Crew No.2 Pencil Skirt Kate Spade 'Steal The Spotlight' Camera Crossbody Bag Similar Kate Spade 'Dainty Sparklers' Earrings David Yurman Oval Link Bracelet MAC 'Ruby Woo' Matte Lipstick David Yurman X Crossover Ring

I'll be honest, I haven't worn velvet since my 4th grade orchestra concert but when I saw this Topshop Bardot top, I had to have it.  The blue jewel tone is absolutely gorgeous and it's perfect for the holidays!  

When I was deciding what to wear with this top, I thought it would be fun to pair it with a pencil skirt so that you can incorporate something from your work wardrobe!  Another option would be to pair this top with a black plaid pixie pant or wide leg wool pant.  

Although this off the shoulder top might not be appropriate for the office, all you have to do is change tops after work and you're party ready!  The Topshop version might be sold out by the time you read this post, but I have linked similar versions below (and a cozy sweater variation too)!

Thank you so much for stopping by Me & Mr. Jones, have a wonderful weekend!

Mr. Jones and I take a trip to California every year and this year, we got to spend time in Laguna Beach.  Skyler's aunt and uncle had us over for dinner and we got to enjoy each others company as the sun set.  Everything about this evening was beautiful and I miss our California family already.  

I hope your week is off to a great start!

I've officially been in Seattle for four days! Before the big move, I spent two magical weeks in Kentucky with my family.  My little brother got married, my little sister got engaged, and we all spent a weekend at Lake Cumberland.  Needless to say, I'm missing my family a lot right now.  

I'm also missing Nashville, which is why I thought it would be perfect to blog about Doxahlogy again!  Their jewelry is just the right mix of edgy and beautiful, much like Music City.  Check out more Doxahlogy gems here!

It's finally starting to feel like summer and I couldn't be happier.  My favorite tops for warm weather are usually Free People; they always carry lightweight, flowy, and effortless tanks like this one from Nordstrom Rack.  I also can't get enough of Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri nail polish!  It dries so fast and comes in so many shades.  The one I'm wearing today is called "Set Sail" and is perfect for summer!

This outfit is essentially a list of my favorite items.  I wear this jacket constantly because it's comfortable, flattering, and lightweight, making it perfect to wear on those chilly spring mornings.  I found a very similar jacket that is SO PERFECT for summer!  I want it oh-so-bad, but I realize having two of almost the same jacket is a little silly (or is it?)!  The Einstein mural is in Lexington's distillery district and one of my favorite murals ever.  The artist is a creative genius if you ask me!

Today is my birthday!  Thank you, Mom for bringing me into this big beautiful world.  This is the first time in years that my birthday has been during Derby week and I couldn't be more excited!  Mint Juleps and Derby Pie, anyone?

Spring weather can be so unpredictable, so I'm always on the lookout for a good trench coat.  This ruffled Jessica Simpson number immediately caught my eye and was perfect for a windy day at the races.  The temperature was lower than expected so I paired my new MINKPINK dress with skinny jeans.  After Keeneland, my mom and I did some exploring in downtown Lexington.  How amazing is this Abraham Lincoln mural painted by Eduardo Kobra?!
