Morning Everyone! I have lots of photos to share from the 4th of July, but first I want to share these outfit photos. When I got an email from Lucky asking if I wanted to partake in a DIY statement piece challenge with Michael’s Craft Store, I couldn’t say “YES!” fast enough. I LOVE crafts!! I went to Michaels a handful of times before I decided what I wanted to do. I decided on an embroidered bib type necklace. I picked out some really fun colors and got right too it. I am really happy with how it came out. I think the flaws and imperfections in the sewing (I am not the greatest) give it some character.
I am kind of in love with this outfit. I love the colors and the necklace compliments it so well! It was an outfit I just felt really happy in. Don’t you love those kind of outfits?

I am so impressed that you made that necklace! I would love to learn how to do this – there are a bunch of necklaces like this on Etsy that I’ve bookmarked and want to buy someday, but it would be much more fun and economical to make one myself! How long did it take you?

Ooh, Jen, I LOVE this – that necklace is amazing (seriously, I am a major crafting addict and I would never think to embroider a necklace) and you are wearing my absolute favorite color combination, pink & mustard! Bravo, lady.
