Just as comfortable as the dress were the braided leather espadrilles from ShoeMint. They will be a summer staple for me as the neutral color will coordinate with everything from shorts to jeans to dresses.<\/p>\n<p>The final gilded touches included the ah-mazing gold leather BCBG MaxAzria jacket that I picked up at the Goodwill Runway Show Launch Party at Bell Tower on March 28. It was a fabulous find that will be a classic in my closet for years to come. But, my favorite piece of the day was the incredible statement necklace. The heavy gold tassels and peach stone coordinate perfectly with the ensemble.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BlogMixedMetals2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2472\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2472\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BlogMixedMetals2.jpg\" alt=\"BlogMixedMetals2\" width=\"501\" height=\"501\" data-size=\"949x949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BlogMixedMetals2.jpg 949w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BlogMixedMetals2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BlogMixedMetals2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BlogMixedMetals2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BlogMixedMetals2-840x840.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/> <\/a> I can\u2019t wait to wear this with everything from jeans and a t-shirt to something more formal.
