How I Wear MY (new) PEACE of jewelry - Olive Wood Bead Necklace - Part 3

Last week,
it was cold!
Okay, it was CALIFORNIA cold
Approximately, 50 degrees and windy
I took a few photos without a jacket
but as you can tell
I was cold


Having recently made this Necklace,


last week, I wore the necklace almost everyday.
I took these photos in the middle of the afternoon and it was COLD!


Even though, I'm trying to highlight MY PEACE of jewelry,


Mostly, I kept the jacket on.

camo jacket - thrifted


skinny jeans - Levi's


men's desert boots - thrifted


Necklace - Olive Wood Bead Necklace

    Hallo Zalina,
    gibt es tatsächlich so etwas wie Winter auch in California! Wie gut, dass Du mit dieser warmen Jacke versorgt bist. Sie passt gut zu Deinem Stil und ich mag sie, wie auch die V-Ausschnitt--Pullis. Genau die richtigen, um Deine wunderschöne Kette zu präsentieren. Das Olivenholz hat eine fantastische Maserung.
    Lieben Gruss von Sabine aus dem kalten Deutschland

      Ja, wir haben im California Winter! Heute hat es geregnet. Unsere Winterwetter vergleicht nicht mit Deutschlands Winter. Es gibt kein Schnee in California.

      Way to score! Another place to obtain this coat on the cheap is at a military store.

    Don't worry ... you can't ignore your beautiful necklace and earrings. Of all the ways to show it, your own pretty face is the best topper for all of your pieces. Although ... your handmade "lady-kins" are wonderful as well.
    Your coat collar framed it well, so no need to be chilly!

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
