You guys, I’m officially obsessed with detachable fur collars!  Wearing the same winter coat day in and day out can get pretty boring, and these are a great way to change up your look a bit without having to invest in multiple jackets.

The one I’m wearing above has been in heavy rotation all season, and I have a few more sitting in my online shopping cart on ASOS.com…

On paper, a navy blue sweater and a khaki pleated skirt don’t necessarily make for the most exciting outfit. But as I always say… chic is in the details.  A little silk flounce at the neckline, a contrasting belt, and a bit of wrist bling help take this outfit from private school uniform to sophisticated lady.

Notice anything salty interesting about my necklace and earrings?  Yep, they’re made of pretzels!  And boy are they making me thirsty!*

Before you think I’ve completely gone off the deep end, let me explain why I’m wearing junk food for accessories.  For my 6th assignment (only 1 more left to go!) in the Jane By Design Style Challenge, I was given several packs of pretzels and told to make something fashionable.  So I took my pretzels, painted them with nail polish and made the jewelry you see here.

Stay tuned next week for a healthier option where I turn a head of lettuce into a handbag…
