Summer Jewels

When Callie was preparing for job interviews earlier this week, we talked about adding a "pop" of color to basic outfits. None of us are that skilled at pulling together outfits, but I do know that adding a simple necklace or colorful shoes can really add a lot to a simple outfit of black and white. Of course, we weren't able to find anything appropriate in the quick shopping trip we made--most necklaces were way too big and busy for my petite daughters. So, today when I was a Wal-Mart, I picked up a few strands of beads to make something fun for summer. I found these beads for $1.97 per package
and made three necklaces. This magenta one is for Jana. . .
. . . turquoise for Callie . . .
. . . and this one is for me! (I know mine isn't a pop of color, but I've been needing a simple black necklace to tie together a few outfits.)I decided to just use elastic cord instead of a clasp and all. That way, they can just be quickly pulled over the head and fit close to the neck. Hello Summer!
