How I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - strapless black dress



A black, a-line flower-power strapless dress


Strapless dresses are always in style.
That is why I'm proud to say this is an "old" dress
that I bought from a thrift store.
The right jewelry to wear with a STRAPLESS DRESS
is ANYTHING.


With a strapless dress your chest is bare.
A BARE CHEST is a BLANK CANVAS


On this particular day, I chose to wear MY PEACE of jewelry
Large Turquoise Teardrop Bead Necklace.
I just made this necklace a few weeks ago.
Actually I made two necklaces. 
The single strand and multi-strand




Turquoise Teardrop & Olive Wood Beads on Etsy


I love how the olive wood beads complement the flower on the dress 
and the Turquoise Teardrop beads adds a pop of color to my outfit


Single strand Necklace available on Etsy


Bib Style, multi-strand necklace on Etsy

Remember with a STRAPLESS DRESS
you can wear a BOLD, COLORFUL NECKLACE

    Zalina, Du hast so schöne Schultern, Du solltest sie häufiger zeigen. Das Kleid ist fantastisch, die Kette mit den türkischen Steinen dazu wunderschön! Ein richtiger Hingucker!
    Lieben Gruss

    Thank you, Val. Yeah, this time I felt like wearing a statement necklace. Other times, I feel like wearing big earrings.

    Love the dress and the necklaces are gorgeous! It's easy to overdo turquoise and end up in the "gaudy zone" but the teardrops are just enough for it to pop without it being over the top.

    Wow again, this is a wonderful dress! The fit is perfection and I love how great your jewelry looks with this outfit. Your shoes add a hip vibe to an overall exciting combination. This dress looks like it is made for you.

    You and your dress are just freaking spectacular! Love every piece, and your necklace is completely lovely, especially with this dress. I don't wear necklaces much, but I study yours every week to see if I can gain a better understanding of how they work. Seeing that "space" as a blank canvas will undoubtedly make a difference. So happy you blog for us!

      Thank you Jan! So sweet to say. I love making jewelry. I used to not be a big wearer of jewelry, but that is why I started this blog, in order to "force" myself to wear what I make. How can I ask someone to wear MY PEACE of jewelry, if I don't wear it myself?!? ;)

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.

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
