It's not to often I'm in a dress. I love dresses,  but because I commute mainly by bike it's not the best item to wear. A tank dress is the perfect piece to have in your wardrobe.  You can fancy it up with high heels and lux jacket or in my case make it casual and pair with a cropped jean jacket and of course MY PEACE of jewelry necklace This black tank dress is very special to me. It was my mother's dress In May, it will be two years since she died.

How I Wear MY PEACE of jewelry - Keep Calm...

Image
Keep Calm and Carry On is everywhere! Keep Calm and Carry On is on cups, t-shirts, posters and cuff links, tote bags deck chairs and even cookies It's a phrase that has really caught on. Where does it come from? What does it mean? If you don't know, go to Keep Calm and Carry On's website Personally, for me  Keep Calm and Carry On is  as stated by Pema Chodron If we are not used to sitting with ourselves,  not used to having inner solitude in our lives, we find we are threatened by nothing happening something happening and everything happening  Keeping calm is a way to approach life's ups and downs. With this outfit, I kept MY PEACE of jewelry simple. These are cuffs I hand stamped with phrases to remind how to treat yourself and others practice self love practice love Tiger Ebony Wood Earrings available on  Etsy t-shirt - thrifted sweater - Target flowered jeans - Urban Out...
