How I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry


Crochet racer back tank purchased (of course) from Urban Outfitters.
I'd never thought I'd be into crochet,
but it works because it's fully lined,
really comfortable, sturdy and lightweight.
It feels like a sporty top but looks very feminine.
You got to be careful not to look like a Halloween themed poster child.
And the way I avoid that is never wear with black pants. At least I would Never!
Anyway, I paired this shirt with my newly purchased LEVIs -


Levi's is another staple brand in my closet. Most of my jeans are Levi's.
Usually, I buy them on sale but this time I bought at full price $68.
Having gone to the Levi store plenty of time, I had never been measure.
This time I was measured.


and was determined to be a "modern bold curve" shaped woman. 
Levi definition: a curvy woman with a very defined waist, hip and seat
(see where the arrows are pointing above?)
I have a defined "seat". Also from Levi's website,
"the Modern Bold Curve honors genuine curves,
hitting just below the hip and hugging your waist without gapping or pulling."
I've always had issues with my rear. Reminder to myself "let it go."


For the shoes, from Urban Outfitters brand Cooperative Double Buckle Sandal 
three-toned orange, black and gray
I made matching earrings, but I wore gold colored hoop earrings.

    Oooh, fun tank and sandals. I love the combination of neon and white (no surprise, since that's what I did too!) - and this color looks so great on you.

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

Getting started...

I've been making or stringing beads together for years. I am not exactly sure how I started making jewelry. Oh yeah! I got started because I've always collected beads. I liked going to bead shops and bought beads that appealed to me then would place in empty pickle jars and store them on my shelfs at home. After a while I had so many beads that I needed to do something with them, which was the obvious - make jewelry. I bought some how-to books and that is how I got started. A few years back, friend of mine, who worked at Fox, encouraged me to let her sell my stuff at their Xmas bazaar. I was pleasantly surprised - I sold quite a few items. My friend was so cool. Here is a photo of the display table that she put together. Since then, I have never actually tried to sell my jewelry. But now I want to start. I created a catalog and the name of my jewelry line is MY PEACE of JEWELRY - pretty catchy. I don't have a website. It's too expensive and there are so many websites n
