How I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - Valentine's Day



Same dress for Day & Evening - Valentine's Day


 

I purchased this dress, probably 6 months ago
at URBAN OUTFITTERS
for
$10
 
 
I don't normally wear dresses like this.
I love to wear dresses, but
my daily routine does not make it easy to wear dresses.
I commute to work on my bike.
It would be kind of hard to ride in  dress and heels.
If I wear a dress when riding my bike, it's with flats or boots.
 
Having not worn this dress EVER,
I really wanted to wear it on Valentine's Day
This post I'm showing how I wore it in the evening.
My next post will show how I wore it during the day.
 
 
Usually, I'm not comfortable wearing something this SHORT.
But I love how this dress drapes my body.
 
 
 
Ankle boots, also Urban Outfitters
On sale, $20
 


 I kept jewelry to a minimum.
In fact I did not wear any of MY PEACEs, except
for my handstamped cuff


on Etsy

and I wore this ring that I've had for years.
I bought it along with a few other colors in Switzerland


 With a dress like this
you don't need to wear much jewelry

Happy Valentine's Day

    Hi Zalina,
    es ist ein wunderbares Rot, wie ich schon sagte, und auch der Schnitt ist sehr schön, schlicht und elegant. Du siehst fantastisch darin aus! Mit Deinen Beinen musst Du Dir um die Rocklänge keine Sorgen machen. Ich bin schon gespannt, wie Du es tagsüber trägst.
    Lieben Gruß
    Sabine

      Hi Zalina,
      ich wäre liebend gerne etwas größer :-)
      eine kleine Korrektur wie versprochen, es heißt: "ich bin eine normale Frau, die denkt, dass sie zu groß ist."

    The dress does have great drape and looks lovely on you.

MANNEQUIN - DIY

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. See below for step by step on how to make your own WO-MANNEQUIN Materials : Grocery bags, wallpaper paste and tape. Tools required: brush, box cutter, plastic wrap Grocery bags Bags from my local store Wallpaper paste (premixed) purchased from hardware store Boxcutter purchased from hardware store Method : Papier-mâché technique What is Papier-mâché? It's French for chewed-up paper due to it's appearance. In this case, torn-up appearance. I used a main mannequin as the frame to create MY PEACE of JEWELRY WO-MANNEQUINs.

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
