5 Things Every Woman Must Have in Her Jewelry Box

So yesterday I posted what you should have in your closet, now take those items and pair it with these must have jewelry pieces and you should be set!!! Again these are only the opinions of me and no one else.

1. Pearls (necklace/earring): To me pearls are a definite must have in every woman's jewelry box. Pearls can be worn with jeans and a white tee or your little black dress. You will find that pearls can make any outfit classy.

2. Gold/Silver Hoops: I love my hoops! They are great to throw on when you don't want to be too dressed up but want to wear jewelry. You can't go wrong with hoops.

3. Small pendant necklace/Statement necklace: Sometimes I don't feel the need to wear a long or big necklace with my outfit. So I throw on a small pendant necklace just so my neck won't be bear. My necklace of choice is a small rhinestone bow. It's simple, but gives the touch that I need. Then, there is the other side of the spectrum where you have a low cut dress/shirt and need something big. That is where your statement necklace comes into play. It is a necklace that makes a "statement" all by itself. No other jewelry is needed to compliment it.

4. Big ring: Nothing completes an outfit like a "big ring". Whether it's a knuckle ring or a 3-4 finger ring, you are sure to turn heads.

5. Watch: Not many women wear a watch, and I didn't either until recently. But you never know when you'll need to know the time. Now you won't catch me without one. The watch of choice these days are the "Sandra Bullock" watches. They received their name because they were the watches that she wore in the movie "Blindside". Her watch was white, but you can find it in an array of colors. So grab one (or two or three) and complete your outfit.

5 Things Every Woman Must Have in Her Closet (My Opinion)

Hello everyone!!

I have a list of blogs that I wanted to do, so while I have some time I decided to get started. The first on my list is "5 things every woman must have in their closets". This blog is based strictly on my opinion and not the opinion of anyone else.

1. Black/Nude Pumps: Black pumps (as well as nude) can be worn with many colors and many styles. You can throw on a pair of jeans, a cute top, and black pumps for a night out with your girlfriends or a skirt, blouse, and black pumps for a dinner with the boss. Nude is also a color that has become popular in the past couple of months and goes well with your neutral colors such as browns, tans, and pinks.

2. Dark wash jeans: I LOVE my dark wash jeans, whether skinny or boot cut. These jeans are the easiest to dress up and down. With a blazer and pumps, dark wash jeans are great for a dressy, but not formal look. With a cute tee and sandals, you are ready for a casual day out.

3. Black blazer: Blazers used to only be for men, but now you are more likely to see a woman sporting a jacket than a man. Blazers are also a dress up/dress down piece. Paired with leggings and heels, it becomes a dress up piece to a simple outfit but throw it on with a party dress and it helps tone down that "way too dressy dress" so you fit right in.

4. Little Black Dress: Of course, you knew the "little black dress" was going to be included in this list. With a black dress you can go from dinner straight to the after party. Black is a color that fits into any occasion so with pearls and a nice clutch you are ready for a formal dinner date but throw your statement necklace and you're ready to party.

5. White button down shirt: A white button down is a piece that many women don't have, but really need. A white button down can be paired with slacks or a skirt and take you straight to the office. But throw on your jeans and flats and you're in style for just about anything.

These items are just a few that can make up a woman's wardrobe. Just typing this, I thought of many more. But with these pieces you are sure to be equipped for any occasion that may be thrown at you. Again, these are just my opinions. Thanks again for supporting my blog!!!

Good Morning My Fellow Bloggers,

This morning I was speaking with a friend about a situation and it brought me to 1 Corinthians 13. This scripture is very powerful and should be integrated in all relationships. To me, this is the true meaning of "Unconditional Love". The version that I like is from the Message Bible. Hope you enjoy and may it be a blessing to you and your relationship.

1 Corinthians 13

The Way of Love

 ¹ If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. ²If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. ^3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

   Love never gives up.
   Love cares more for others than for self.
   Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
   Love doesn't strut,
   Doesn't have a swelled head,
   Doesn't force itself on others,
   Isn't always "me first,"
   Doesn't fly off the handle,
   Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
   Doesn't revel when others grovel,
   Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
   Puts up with anything,
   Trusts God always,
   Always looks for the best,
   Never looks back,
   But keeps going to the end.
 ^8-10Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.
 ¹¹When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good.
 ¹²We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!
 ¹³But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.
