How I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - Olive Wood Bead Necklace

My Outfit with MY PEACE of jewelry


I went out of my comfort zone. 
My comfort zone is jeans and t-shirt,
not tight and short.
I bought this dress over a year ago,
hoping to pull it out for a date.
But my guy and I don't go to too many fancy places
and the places we do go, I am not interested in dressing up.
So, to make the dress work for me,
I paired with leggings and knee-high boots.
I can see the dress with some serious heels,
but I can't walk in heels.

It's a cute dress, I purchased from 
URBAN OUTFITTERS
for $10




Living in California, dressing for Winter weather is all about layering.
In the office, wore a beige cardigan


Outside, I wore
Camel leather coat - I bought in Venice, Italy over 10 years ago




With My Outfit
I wore
Olive Wood Bead Necklace available on Etsy


I made this using Olive Wood Beads, accented with silver metal Tibetan beads


Necklace length - 16" (approximately)
Weight - 5 oz (very light)
Size - Oval Olive Wood Beads - 16mm x 10mm
2 Tibetan cones - 35mm

    That's a fab dress - love the back! We don't dress up for the places we like to frequent, either -- jeans and tees for us. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.

    I think it would look good with plain white button down too.. or turtle neck also in white!

    What a perfect solution ... and you must have been thinking about that dress and blazer/coat when you made that beautiful necklace. You can wear that anywhere. Go! Wear it! It looks amazing, and not too dressy or too casual. You're such a beauty.

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
