How I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - Red Pants

As I get older, I am getting more comfortable wearing COLOR below the waist. Big butt and thighs will not stop I. Here I am wearing URBAN OUTFITTERs - BDG Roadie Boot Jean , which I got on sale for $19 in the store.  But! You can get them online too for the same price. They are stretch denim (a good thing) but ride low (a somewhat bad thing). Because when you sit down or bend over, there might be some crack action in the rear, if you know what I mean. With this color, pairing red with white is a no brainer. Keeping it simple on top, I wore a v-neck t-shirt, which is by chance also from URBAN OUTFITTERS - BDG V-neck tee . I have plenty of white-tees. In fact recently purchased a few white tees from the GAP, but they have a little pocket on one side of the chest that does fit well with MY PEACE of jewelry . Oh yeah! MY PEACE of jewelry.  I paired my outfit with this necklace that I made using black seed beads and mixed g...

I had been eyeing these sandals for a few weeks, but told myself "no!", I am not going to buy at full price of $49. I went there Friday, and they were on sale for $19 bucks! So I bought two pair. Wait and you shall receive. Cooperative Double Buckle Sandal - Urban Outfitters *Shirt and pants from Urban Outfitters too (purchased on sale).

I swear this is one of my favorite necklaces. It's the beads! It's the beads! They are so earthy and chunky.   My outfit this time with MY PEACE of jewelry consisted of this black Tunic and, these bright ass turquoise blue pants BDG Roadie Boot Jean , which of course I got from URBAN OUTFITTERS , on sale. Just bought a red pair online. Can't wait to wear them. Tibetan Mystical Bib Necklace on Etsy The center brown beads are from China. They're Tibetan maple/caramel colored Agate beads. Agate is like a rock that is created when molten minerals filled up a cavity in a host rock. They are semi-translucent. Tibetans consider Agate beade to have positive spiritual benefits with the ability to provide its bearer with strength, courage & PEACE (I love the word Peace) and calmness of the mind. No gemstone is more creatively striped by nature.   Handmade Jewelry & Mannequins
