a birthday outfit and a bracelet

last night s.c. (my husband) and i went out for his 33 birthday, i know he's getting old right?  unfortunately, i have more gray hair than he does, however.  for the occasion, i dressed a little matronly, of course, to emphasize his aging nature.

what i'm wearing...

sweater- thirfted, but from the limited
top- LOFT
skirt- anthropologie, on sale for $9.99
tights and shoes- target
belt- jcrew
pearls- target

i also wore this bracelet

 

i recently purchased some t-shirt yarn from Eclectic Notions, which by the way, is a perfectly priced creative material.  it is perfect to knit or crochet a fun summer scarf with or to use to make jewelry or to use a unique ribbon for gifts or even just to use as a soft bowl filler. it was an impulse buy; i saw it and just had to make something with it.  so...while i ponder what to make...i made this little bracelet to help get my creative juices flowing.  

it was super easy i four little circles of tulle and four from a shiny chiffon.  i folded them in half and strung them onto a small piece of thread; i tugged them around until it created a little flower.  then, i placed the little bead in the center and stiched it onto a piece of t-shirt yarn.  i wrapped it around twice and tied a little knot.  the yarn is stretchy enough to slip on an off without having to undo the knot. there you have it, a dainty braclet.
