How I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - layering necklaces


There are no set RULES to layering necklaces
Wear what looks good to you
For me, 
pairing a chunky necklace of African Brass Pendants & Beads with a short necklace of 
Gun Metal Chain & African Brass Ring looks good,
to me. 
Now pairing my necklaces with a blue & white striped sailor-inspired t-shirt, I'm not to sure.
But I did.

How you wear MY PEACE of jewelry
is up to you.
MY PEACE of jewelry is not intended to influence your style 
but accent
YOUR STYLE



MY STYLE


t-shirt - Brandy & Melville
jeans - Levi's
Backpack - I Medici Firenze red leather backpack

I love this bag!
About 15 years ago, I bought this bag in Florence, Italy at an open market.
I had never heard of the brand, but apparently I Medici Firenze are known for their leather purses.
I can safely say, it is the BEST leather I've ever felt AND it was so INEXPENSIVE
that I bought a smaller backpack and a messenger bag, which
hopefully will appear in a future post.


This bag reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. We were vacationing together with another couple,
when I bought this bag. Him being from Switzerland, we visited his parents in Switzerland, visited a few cities in Italy and France. Great trip, but stressful at the same time because he was so rigid about time and being schedule that it made me and our friends very stressed.
Oh well, he's gone, because I broke up with him after 9 years together because he did not want to marry me.
But I digress.

    Zalina, was immer Du trägst, Deine Ketten sehen fantastisch dazu aus. Das Streifenshirt gefällt mir gut zu den Jeans. Ganz wunderbar finde ich auch den Rucksack, was für eine schöne Farbe. Wie schön, dass er Dich an eine aufregende Reise erinnert. Ganz ungewohnt sind die hohen Schuhe an Dir, aber sie sehen bequem aus und auch hier gefällt mir die Farbe sehr gut.
    Lieben Gruss von Sabine

      Danke, Sabine. Ich mag den Rucksack sehr viel. Ich gebrauche ihn nicht viel. Er ist wie einen neuen Rucksack. Die Farbe ist ein tief Rot. Rot ist mein liebste Farbe.

      LOL! Ich bin nicht gewohnt in die Schuhe. Man wuerde denken, dass die Schuhe bequem wurden, weil sie eine kleine Fersen, aber sie waren zu gross fuer mich. Ich koennte nicht gut gehen. Am diesem Tag, warf ich die Schuhe im Muell. Ich mag mein flache Schuhe.:)

    I love that bag and the back story. Funny how certain items of clothing we hang onto have so many memories attached.

    bisous

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
