One great thing about photographing your outfits is that you get to see them in a different medium - you know, rather than in a mirror or in a store window reflection. I actually think a photo is most successful at helping me see what I'm wearing as objectively as possible. Today was proof. I didn't realize that these shoes aren't working for me with this outfit until after uploading these onto my computer. Nude pumps or maybe my UO red pumps would have worked better. Oh, you live and learn. Oh, you style blog and learn.


Actually, forget everything I just said. I think a full-length mirror could have nipped this in the bud. Note to self: we need a full-length mirror - asap. There we go - Oh, you live and learn.


On another note. I spent all weekend making jewelry. Back in December I made some earrings for mom for Christmas. One pair was made with a bee charm and yellow and gold glass beards - to match her school - she's a teacher. Many of her co-workers loved the earrings and were willing to pay for a pair. So I made them last week. When the weekend came... I kept going. I made a few more earring designs that would appeal to these ladies and then I made some necklaces for me. This pendant above is one of them. I love it. I've been wanting a teal/turquoise pendant necklace for so long - and now I have one! And you can too! I may even give a couple away - would y'all like that??
