It's a little chilly out but the sun is shining (hooray!) and I am still feeling beachy from our weekend so I just made up a simple Polyvore of jeans & white (the super comfortable J Crew French Terry Cardigan & an ON tank) and some wonderful blue chalcedony earrings I bought at the cutest bead shop on Saturday.
This little shop was adorable and I am so glad it isn't right around the corner because I would be in there every other day. They had such an amazing assortment of beads and stones... I would love to make some jewelry for myself but I just really can't fit it into my schedule right now. Luckily for me, they had quite a few samples around and... (I couldn't believe this)... they were selling all the finished pieces for the price of materials!! Do all bead stores do this?? So, I bought a lovely necklace, two pairs of earrings, and a gift... all for the price of what the supplies would have been. Unique, handmade jewelry at really great prices. Love it. I kept going around (I was shopping with my sister-in-law) saying: this would be X $ at J Crew! This would be X $ at Anthropologie! It was so fun. You can bet I won't be just walking past bead stores anymore!
So, my tired little ones (and Hubs) appear to be sleeping through early service this morning. Today is laundry catch-up, grocery store, and oops... the school fundraiser deadline (that I'm coordinating for my daughter's class) is about two weeks earlier than I thought it was!
Have a great Sunday!
The earrings are pretty. Everytime I see the rumpled terry cardi in a Polyvore on a blog, I wear it for the day. It's the best.
ReplyDeletelove that polyvore- looks great for spring!
ReplyDeleteI love my rumpled french terry cardigan, too! I am wearing mine (pink) with a white tank and jeans! Super pretty earrings. Never think of bead stores,thanks for the ideas~
ReplyDeleteoops,don't know where my comments went! Love the outfit, love the earrings!! cute finds!!
ReplyDeletegreat outfit! i'd totally wear it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love bead shops. I used to make jewelry, it is very fun and rewarding. But...warning...it is very addictive!! Happy Sunday! Its sunny in So Cal too!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit! The RFT cardi totally did not work for me - L too big, M too short in sleeves, so I love seeing everyone else enjoy it. At least I have my Library cardi or I would be totally bummed.
ReplyDeleteEarrings are so cute! I'll have to remember to check bead stores...
Thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteHeidi - yes I've noticed that about the sleeves! I have a Small (and I am 5' 5"-ish) and the sleeves are a tad short on me.
So pretty! I love the color of the earrings. I keep seeing that cardi on Polyv. and I want it more every time! I have a white long cardigan, but this one looks so comfortable and warm. Something I could use right now! I'm reezing today!!
ReplyDeleteCute outfit!!
