I hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July celebration. My family had a bbq at my cousins house in Queens. We usually go to Valley Stream park, but it is closed due to budget cuts (bbm thumbs down). So we set up the grill, the tents, chairs, and card tables in my cousin’s back yard and great time. Here is what I wore to the bbq.

 First of all, I know I was supposed to do the crinkle/curly look to my hair, but I was too tired and so I just wore it straight (big mistake).

I wore a teal NY & Co. romper (I love that store, when they have sales), that I bought for about $20. It was originally $40. I wore it with my pewter sandals from Bakers and a necklace by Traci Lynn.

My sister told me not to put her up on the blog, but of course I am not going to listen because I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

A few weeks ago, my dean, Massa, hosted a 5 year “Blu Phenomenon” reunion entitle “Phenomenal Emergence.”  It has been 5 yrs since I have been in my sorority and I celebrated with my line sisters at Massa’s house in Delaware. While there she hosted a  Traci Lynn accessories jewelry party.

Here are some photos of the jewelry

I purchased two necklaces “Flower Girl” and “Abstract”

I get so many compliments on these necklaces its ridiculous. The prices were reasonable ($26) and they are of good quality. They may look heavy, but they are very light weight. There are a few more pieces from Traci Lynn that I am considering purchasing.

The only down side to these accessories is that you have to purchase everything through a consultant. Even though there is a website, you can not shop online. Other than that issue, Traci Lynn jewelry gets my vote.
