How to Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - Ruffles

Yes, ruffles
Usually me and ruffles don't mesh
But I loved this dress
It's a thrift store find.


This particular photo session, I call my "hard & soft" shoot.
Me wearing a feminine dress and 
photographing myself in front of metal sculpture







With my ruffle dress I wore MY PEACE of jewelry Chandelier Earrings


These earrings I made using Turquoise heishi beads, silver metal gypsy beads and silver metal wire.
I call them my "House" earrings because they look like the front of a house
Similar earrings available on Etsy



I took these photos on UCLA's campus, Murphy Sculpture Garden.
The "Gardens" spans nearly 5 acres of UCLA'S campus and has over 70 sculptures.
This sculpture is only one of many that I plan to photograph.

  3. This is one of my favorite colors to wear because it's almost universally flattering - and it looks terrific on you! I wish I still had pierced ears because I would buy those earring in an instant!

  5. Great photos! The sculpture accents the design and color of this dress in a beautiful way. Such a pretty dress on you and your jewelry and accessories compliment this outfit so well.

    1. Danke, Annette.

      Ich habe nie die Ostkueste besucht. Ich besuchte die Stadt von New York, aber nie das Kueste.

      Oh! Du meinte die Westkueste. Los Angeles und San Francisco sind am Westkueste. Ich mag San Franscisco. Es ist ein nette Stadt. Man braucht kein Auto.

    2. Ich meine auch die Wetsküste.
      Herzlichst Annette

  10. Awesome dress! You look amazing in it - bold and strong. Love the earrings too.

  11. Beautiful you in your blue dress ... so gorgeous on your skin. On a pale girl, it wouldn't have been half so beautiful! Lovely environs, but they only serve to show you off to fabulous advantage. And, turquoise ... of course!

    1. Hi Jan:

      I think you'd look great in the color. It's not as bold as you think.
