These photos were taken at our friends’ beautiful wedding in CT this past weekend. We pulled up to the venue, and I pretty much leapt out of the car upon seeing a windmill at the end of a stone bridge, surrounded by a little moat…could you get more charming?
I wore this ASOS dress purchased in the dead of winter (planning ahead paid off!) and accessorized simply with a cabochon stone necklace. The marbled (hard to see clearly in photos) stones are gorgeous, reminiscent of one of my beloved necklaces from AT but in a neutral palette. 
I liked this necklace so much, I asked the Talbots team to do a small giveaway for you guys! Simply leave a comment letting me know which Talbots necklace you’d like to win, and I’ll pick a randomly-generated winner on Monday (U.S. only – sorry international friends!). Talbots is also having a rare 50% off everything today. I find their items to be of very good quality and wish they made more extended sizing! My picks from the sale are this 100% cotton banana leaf dress that starts in Petite P (please note, sizing runs a little big and P = ~0/2) and the basic opaque hosiery (I pretty much live in the navy + black during cold weather…durable material that does not pill or tear).
I originally had plans for fanciful heels, but after seeing the events schedule running from 10AM – midnight, practicality won over. These nude studded heels lengthen as much as 2.5″ possibly can, and lasted me through hours of dancing and exploring the pretty premises. Would highly recommend, but please note again these fit narrow and run about half a size small.
Good luck to those entering the giveaway! Please include just your first name and last initial, and no email addresses to prevent spam. 
Beautiful wedding and great giveaway – thanks! I would be ecstatic with the Florette Cabochon Necklace 🙂
Hi Jean! I think I would like your florette cabochon necklace pick in clay/multi gold! It really is both a loud statement, but also neutral enough to wear with anything. I love reading your blog and it is improving my style one post at a time. Thanks for all you do!

I like the Florette Cabochon necklace the best. Its a good size and I think versatile enough to be used for a casual outing or to wear at work.

Talbots has so many great necklaces it is hard to pick just one. My favorite is the Hammered-Disc Single-Strand Necklace, but the Coral & Bead Collar Necklace is a close second.
Such a pretty yellow color dress!
Love the necklace you picked, too!

This is awesome. I really love Talbots. I think my favorite of all the necklaces they have right now is the Filigree & Cabochon Station Necklace. I am a little more into longer necklaces these days.
Hi Jean! I would love the Florette Cabochon Necklace. Thanks.
The Florette Cabochon that you chose would be my pick, too. I think the slight marbelization in the stones gives it a more sophisticated look than some of the other similar necklaces you see out there. As always, a gorgeous look, lady! The color of that dress is great with your skin tone. Kelly H
I love that necklace with your heels! I've always wanted a pearl necklace, so if I win I would like the Freshwater Pearl necklace. Thanks! Nicole L.
Hi Jean! Your photos look beautiful. Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
I absolutely love the Double Strand Teardrop Necklace. I feel like this would dress up even the more casual tops in my closet. Always a plus when you're a lady on the go and need a little statement to compliment the rest of your outfit. 🙂

The necklace in your post is beautiful – neutral, feminine, but not too fancy. I 'd pick that one!
That dress is perfect. The color, the full skirt. Love it! So pretty.
As for the giveaway, my favorite necklace is the Freshwater Pearl Necklace.
