How to accessorize different necklines....

You pull that new top out of the closet and slip it on...you're looking great and feeling pretty snazzy too!  Well..until you open the jewelry box and you don't know what to wear with it.  Does this ever happen to you?  It sure has to me...more than once...then I change tops because I just don't have time to mess with it!

I've posted a quick reference guide on my Facebook business page (and on Pinterest).  It'll be terrific to print out and hang on your closet door for those times when you just don't know quite what jewelry to wear.  

Thank you to the graphics crew at the Initial Outfitters home office for putting together the document for us to use!  Kayla...you ROCK!

Christmas in July

Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in the Christmas In July campaign/review offered by Lynsey Jones.  Her review of the personalized necklace I helped her create is up on the blog today!  I wanted to share!

Here's a sample of a necklace I created for my friend Dayna as a HS graduation gift.  There are SO many options and ways to truly customize your look!  It's one of my favorite things about my Initial Outfitters business!  

Flying Jewels

On a drive up South Pass today, I stopped (as always) to admire the view from the rim of Red Canyon.  After snapping a few photos of the spectacular view, I noticed three pretty orange/black butterflies.  I had to go search out their name since I didn't know...guess I'd better buy a butterfly book so I can ID them.

Of course, I can't tease with a mention of the beautiful view from the canyon without sharing the view...I'm so blessed to live in this beautiful state!

It's time to get back into the swing of things....

You may have (or maybe not) noticed that I've not been posting to this blog for nearly a year...I had a time wholly lacking inspiration and then it just fell off my radar.  Well...I'm committed to making some changes and getting back in the swing of things.  I'll be focusing on more things than just jewelry...it'll still be there, but just intermixed with other things I love too!

Where does the time go?

I have really let time get away from me between posts...I'm not really sure what happened to the last 9 months or so...it's been insanely busy for me!

Love my new acrylic monogram necklace...it's so light that you forget you have it on!  Perfect for those folks who can't wear heavy jewelry!  I fell in love with monograms two years ago when I found Initial Outfitters and started my "fun-time" journey with the company!  I don't know why I'm surprised that I love having my "brand" on things...we brand our livestock here in the west so it's not too far of a stretch for me to be putting my mark on my jewelry and purses.  Now if I can just get Alicia and Beth to make a necklace with my actual livestock brand on it!  Wouldn't that be cool??

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I posted here...after a fun "Woo Wee" party with my XiPi sisters, I need a little chill time so I can relax before bed.  Thought it would be fun to get back to posting about the jewelry that I love.

Today I was sporting a new necklace I ordered from Initial Outfitters (being a consultant is great because I get all my new jewelry at a great discount!)...love the multi-strand silver necklace and the hammered open-circle earrings.  They aren't a matchy-matchy set but they go together really well and can be either dressy or casual.  Love them!

A few of my favorite things...

Tonight at our Beta Sigma Phi sorority meeting, we were discussing our favorite things about belonging to the group!  It hit me when Susan said she loved XiPi because she could truly be "Just Susan" there, that I liked that as well but one of my favorite parts about my sorority sisters is that my girl friends are like the jewelry I love.  The right jewelry and accessories complete an outfit and can completely change the look of something...so can my girl friends!  My "girls" complete me...not just my Xi Pi sisters but all of my friends.  Ladies, thanks for being the perfect "accessories" to help complete me and make me the woman that I am!  You are all loved and appreciated for the role you play in my life and I'm ever so grateful that you are a part of my world!

On a less sentimental note, I wanted to share that I've found a new favorite, go-to pair of fun earrings!  They are pretty, flirty, and light-weight...I will be wearing them a lot!!!!  Still loving the "initial" pendant and my new diamond-cuff with my name on it!
