Stash the chains till fall and make summer fun with colored leather cord.
I don't think I have ever fully appreciated the value of a good pair of wellies until last Thursday evening. Doug and I spent the weekend in NYC and he surprised me with tickets to the University of Cincinnati vs. Notre Dame basketball game at Madison Square Gardens. A midst the heavy downpours and regional flooding, we made our way about 12 blocks between the ticket office and the game. The umbrella we bought at Duane Reade was more or less useless and my leather boots took two days to dry... and the Bearcats lost.
But, I am bound and determined to usher in Spring with pink and polka dots. The wellies can be along just in case. Add Portale filigree necklace and earrings with teardrop gemstones to keep the look fresh.

Citing exotic destinations like Africa, India, Peru and Turkey
as inspiration for spring 2011, designers continue to satisfy
consumers’ need to escape everyday challenges with intriguing
color combinations that transport them to foreign lands.
“The colors designers have chosen for the spring season
present an interesting marriage of unexpected warm and cool
tones,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the
Pantone Color Institute®. “By cleverly combining complementary
colors, those that are opposites on the color wheel, they have
created a striking intensity to the palette. These unique color
combinations make it possible for consumers to pair existing
pieces in colors traditionally associated with fall, with new
favorites to punch up springtime wardrobes.”
Lisa Robin colored gems on trend......
Inspired by a design used in rug weaving in the Tekke region of Turkey, The Tekke Collection large pendants are offered in 5 colorways. Shown here with London Blue Topaz and Peridot and matching earrings. Pendants are in sterling silver and can be worn on a selection of chains or leather cords and are reversible. The Lisa Robin Signature design, Portale, is used on the reverse side. In this application Portale is diced in quarters and rotated. The stones are set so that the color still peaks through when worn reversed.

Other colorways include Amethyst, Whisky Topaz and Garnet, London Blue and Citrine, and London Blue.
How to Layer Jewelry
I love mixing the textures of this lace skirt with the wool and shearling jacket. Then, I would layer two 40" long Lisa Robin Paisley Collection Long Chains and add a large Signature Portale pendant on a 34" Rolo chain. The pendant provides an accent piece and the differing chain lengths create interest.
