Unwilling (to step out of my comfort zone of artistic preferences at the moment)

Accessories played a crucial role in the speaker's outfit, with a necklace stack featuring a beaded, a pearl, and a silver necklace. The Chan Luu Merida Necklace in Iolite/Silver, Banana Republic Factory Pearl Necklace, and Aritzia Alpha Tee were other pieces that completed the look.
The speaker also adorned their fingers with the Mejuri Thin Dome Ring, Mejuri Dainty Beaded Ring, and a Vintage Pave Ring alternative such as the Quince Pave Diamond Slim Signet Ring (under $250) or the Quince 14k Gold Micro Pave Ring.
To carry their essentials, the speaker opted for a Blue Plaid Tote, with similar alternatives available on Etsy. Lastly, the speaker accessorised their ears with the Jenny Bird Tome Medium Earrings.
