North vs. South

I hope everyone enjoyed their extra hour of sleep last night.  I used it as an opportunity to squeeze in some blogging!

Since I'm on a self imposed shopping fast for the remainder of 2013, I have the sudden urge to shop.  Go figure.  The one exception will be Black Friday, where I'll be picking out some of my own Christmas gifts from the hubs.  (I hope I'm not the only one that does this.)  I spend my fair share of nights filling my online shopping cart with pretty things, and then not buying any of it (again, I really hope I'm not the only one that does this).

To scratch that shopping itch, I'm starting a new post series (Yay!!). I'll pick an item from either my Wardrobe Staples or my Wardrobe Wish List and style it two different ways.  Since I'm from the South (Arkansas) and moving up North (New York), I think it's only fitting that this series be called North vs. South.  This will also help me in determining if the item is versatile enough to be worth the buy.  In this post, the North outfit will focus on a cooler climate, while the South much warmer!  Here it goes y'all:

J Crew Blazer

Since this beauty is on both my Wardrobe Staples (more on that here) and my Wardrobe Wish List (more on that here), I decided it was the perfect piece to start with.  

North:

 {Garnet Jeans $24.50}        {Blush Top $37}        {Cognac Flats $98}        {Layering Necklace $8.80}

South:

                                        

{Cream Lace Shorts}             {Maroon LS Tee $23}             {Sparkly Sandals $17}

{Faux Pearl Necklace $10.80}           {Gold Pearl Studs $95}

I could see myself wearing either of these looks in a heartbeat.  Which one would you be more likely to rock?
