Today's Everyday Fashion: Two Ways

The inspiration photo sparked an idea to put this necklace and top together. I simply couldn't decide which direction I wanted to go with it though - for the office (above) or for weekend (below), so I did both! The two outfits wound up looking so different you hardly even notice what they have in common. I recommend this strategy for any of your work tops. Buy ones that you can also use on weekends and style casually! Which outfit is your favorite?
