Dark skinny jeans are a staple in my wardrobe. They\u2019ll transition from boots now to heeled sandals for the summer.<\/p>\n<p>I layered on the necklaces with two different styles \u2013 a beaded blue collar ($3.97) and a longer tasseled necklace ($1.97).<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Photo-Mar-09-5-17-51-PM.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Photo-Mar-09-5-17-51-PM-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"3024x3024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Photo-Mar-09-5-17-51-PM-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Photo-Mar-09-5-17-51-PM-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Photo-Mar-09-5-17-51-PM-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Photo-Mar-09-5-17-51-PM-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Photo-Mar-09-5-17-51-PM-840x840.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/> <\/a> These accented the blue in the blazer, as did the patent leather navy clutch, which was originally from Nordstrom and probably retailed for around $60, but my cost was just $4.97.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the bit o\u2019 green I needed to complete this outfit was the kelly green suede peep-toe heels from Nine West.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/green-shoes.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/green-shoes-731x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"2245x3145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/green-shoes-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/green-shoes-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/green-shoes-768x1076.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/green-shoes-840x1177.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/> <\/a> Their vibrant color stands out and makes a statement.
