Paisley - In or Out?


paisley blouse by eighty sixty
thrifted from Buffalo Exchange
I was not sure how to wear this blouse - IN or OUT. With my blog title you may have thought I was considering if the paisley pattern was IN or OUT, which did cross my mind. But I don't care if it's the trend or not. I buy clothes based on if I like them or not. There are a lot of styles currently in fashion that I just can't wear because of my big legs and butt. Anyway, I wore this to work yesterday and wasn't sure how to style it, so half the day I wore it in and half the day I wore it out.


I paired the blouse with my bright red suede pants
(purchased a long time ago from the Gap).

Also pairing my self handmade MY PEACE of JEWELRY necklace



What's really cool about this necklace is I found the rock outside of my apartment complex. I thought the coloring was spectacular and knew it would be perfect as a pendant. Considering I am not a gemologist, I knew I was not going to be able to drill a hole through the rock. So I had to figure out the next best thing to do, which was WIRE WRAP the stone to hang from these great African brass beads. It came out pretty good.

UPDATE a/o May 2012 Because I love to work with my hands and create a variety of things. I thought I could make my own mannequins.  I used the paper mache' technique to make my mine.

How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

Image
I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                      Best EARRINGS for square-shaped face - earrings with rounded designs - elongated earrings, especially under the chin line - dangling earrings - hoop earrings These styles are considered excellent because they add a softness to the facial angles *avoid very wide, bulky, square earrings Famous square-shaped  face celebrities
