Polka dots are "in" right now!
Camera faces are, too.
Wear under a cardigan.
Or on top.
White works too.
Under a chunky sweater.
An added pop of color!
With an ill-fitting cable-knit sweater.
Proudly wear your school colors!
Or an understated neutral.

 The possibilities are endless! Or nearly endless. Which color is your favorite, and how do you plan to wear it if you win?

Pom Necklace Giveaway!

 **This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered. The winners were Kristen J. and Jen D.**

It's a giveaway! My first one. But don't get too excited. It's a small giveaway. It's not a $100 gift card, nor a new sports car, or a vacation in the Caribbean. Just a little accessory to brighten up these dreary winter days.

I am giving away a fabric pom necklace to two, yes TWO, lucky winners! And better yet? The winners get to choose the color they would like to receive. And let me tell you, there are plenty of colors to choose from! I've got red. I've got blue. I've got yellow, pink, and green. What I don't have, however, is a photo of all of the necklaces that you get to choose from. I am hoping to take one tomorrow, but for now, here is a selection of some of the necklaces available: Update: Follow this link to view available necklaces.

"Autumn Leaves"

"Dorothy"

"Lila"

Lavender w/black

Red w/ silver

"Aurora" w/ bronze and removable black bow

Champagne w/ bronze

Chocolate brown w/bronze

Turquoise blue w/silver

Royal purple w/ silver

Not the best photos, but you get the picture. (Ha ha ha). Other colors available are bright yellow, butter cream, coffee, sky blue, sage green, etc., and various other prints. To get an idea as to how these necklaces look:

Carnation pink w/ pink cord
