The Way the Cookie Crumbles




What I Wore

Out with Hubby

Top - Rue 21/Mint Jeans (Thrifted) American Rag/Shoes - Target
Watch - MK/Necklace - Forever 21/Bracelets - Michael's and Forever 21/Earrings - Forever 21




If you send a girl to work at a mall on a Saturday, the girl will want to see what is new at Forever 21.  When the girl sees a turquoise necklace at Forever 21, she will want to buy it.  When the girl gets home she will want to wear her new necklace.  When her husband suggests they go on a date, the girl will go to her closet to find something to wear with her new necklace.  When the girl goes to her closet, she will see the blue top that she had been trying to find an excuse to wear since she bought it.  The girl will decide that the blue top is just the right color to put behind the new necklace.  When she pulls out the blue top, the girl will not want to wear blue jeans, so she will open her drawer of colored jeans.  Right near the top of the drawer the girl will see a pair of mint jeans that she had almost forgotten she had!  The girl will decide that she has a perfect combination of blue and mint that was in the necklace - and obviously why she had been inspired to buy that necklace in the first place!  The girl will then put on a pair of navy print shoes that she absolutely loves and has been wearing every chance she can.  So, the girl was able to create an entire outfit because she bought a necklace for less than $5!  (If you have ever read "When You Give a Mouse a Cookie" hopefully you will appreciate my latest outfit adventure.)  Do you ever build an outfit around one item?

  2. Great color combo! I love the top as a backdrop for the necklace. I have never built an outfit around jewelry or shoes or other accessories...I usually start with a piece of clothing... thanks for help in opening up a new way to get started!
