Chambray and Pearls

I recently had a Premier Jewelry party and got a LOT of free jewelry! (Full post about that soon) One of the pieces I got is a really long strand of mint green beads. I already had a long strand of pearls from there. At the party Michelle (the jewelry lady) showed us how you can twist the two necklaces together to make a short chunky necklace. I loved the look and have been dying to try it myself! The other day I decided to wear my necklaces to church. I wasn't sure what to pair them with, but I decided on my chambray shirt. I liked that the necklaces looked pretty dressy, but the chambray shirt made them a little more casual. I also rolled the sleeves of my shirt up to make it not so uptight. I wore my black pencil skirt and gray booties with the outfit. The weather was pretty warm, and I really wanted to go without tights, but my legs are just too ghostly white. (Katie gave me some tanning minutes which I cannot wait to use!) So...I had to wear my black tights. I was really pleased with the way the necklaces turned out though, and am looking forward to trying them in different ways.

Pink, Stripes & a little bit of floral

 During the winter, I sometimes tend to wear black & grey & then more grey & black. Every now & then I need some color! I had to wear my favorite color in order to brighten my spirits a bit...& of course, that would be pink! I wore these pink pants I bought from Ross a few years ago, a striped sweater I have from Ross from a long time ago, an orange & pink floral scarf I got as a birthday gift 2 years ago & my brown boots from JCPenney. I put gold jewelry with it & one of my favorite pieces was this gold disc necklace with my initial. It was so nice to be wearing some bright colors!

Sweet & Sassy Swimsuits

   I hate, dread, never look forward to ... shopping for a swimsuit! It's so hard to find one that fits, is modest, & is the price you want to pay. I found all of that this year & I am so excited!!!! I'm going to get right to it!
   I happened to go into JCPenney the other day while they were having a big sale. I tried on some swimsuits b/c I wasn't sure what size I would wear then went online & ordered 2 one pieces. I bought them from the junior's section. The first one I paid $22 & the second I paid $18(I had a coupon)!  I had them shipped to the store & it cost $2.95 instead of $16(they were going to charge me separately for multiple items). I have already worn one & I LOVE IT!!! I've always thought...if I could just design my own swimsuit. Well, this is exactly what it would look like!

   I bought this one also but haven't worn it yet! I wanted something with a pop of color! 

   Swimsuits are hard to find but you just have to keep looking until you find a place that fits your figure well!         Hope you are enjoying your summer so far! :)
