How to Punch up Your Wardrobe with the Right Pieces of Jewelry

If there has even been a time for a woman to wear a beautiful necklace, this is it. In 2014, fancy necklaces and costume jewelry aren’t just for dressing up anymore. The latest necklaces for women are stylish enough for a trip to the grocery 

The Joy of Footed Pajamas

The images of footed pajamas are almost always accompanies by visions of jolly children preparing for bed or reading bedtime stories in front of the family fireplace. The one-piece fleece pajamas, also called blanket sleepers, were originally designed for helping children stay warm during cold weather. The snapped or zippered front made it much easier for them to take emergency trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night. They function much like the terrycloth onesies for infants.

Children are not the only ones who love this garment. For adult men, plaid or camouflage designs have a large appeal. Men who are sports fanatics can also enjoy footed pajamas made of jersey knit material. These are slightly reminiscent of long john thermal underwear worn in winter beneath clothing for layered warmth.

Women’s footed pajamas are usually distinguished from those designed for others by the designs and colors. Naturally, pink is a popular color, and pink plaid or pink camouflage are stylish choices. Earthy heart patterns and pastels have also been a common choice.

Alternate versions of footed pajamas may sometimes include hoods. These can be both functional and stylish. Many people simply let the hood hang or lie on it while sleeping. Others pull the hood over their heads to added warmth. Being covered this way in a fleece-like material from head to toe makes heavy blankets almost unnecessary.

Of course, the footed pajama is old hat for infants and toddlers. Because the material is so stretchable, made to give when the body moves or bends, it is the ideal casual wear for youth. They can enjoy recreational activities and follow their own curiosities without worrying about elastic, pant zippers or other clothing features that restrict movement. The footed pajama is ideal for parents of infants and toddlers, too. They do not have to worry about stripping off layers to change a diaper or prepare their young pajama wearer for a bath. It simply unsnaps or unzips, and the child is out of it.

Footed pajamas have even been the sleepwear of choice for some celebrities, including Samuel L. Jackson, Tina Yothers and Henry Winkler. This shows just how adaptable the garment can be for almost any lifestyle. It is a universal comfort and caters to the things in every life that are inescapably human.

SHOLDIT Clutch Wrap Purse

I recently received a Sholdit infinity wrap for review and since I have an obsession with infinity scarves, I was really looking forward to trying this one out. The Shouldit is a unique accessory that blends fashion and convenience together for women who are on the go, understand that less is more and want to make their lives easier. What’s really great about this wrap is that can be worn several different ways, including as a neck wrap (my favorite way), shoulder wrap, head wrap and even folds into a clutch!
SHOLDIT Clutch Wrap Purse
The Sholdit Clutch Wrap Purse is so different from any of the other scarves and wraps that I own. The secret of this product’s success is a handy, zippered pouch built right into the wrap. Wearing this accessory allows you take your essentials with you without having to carry an extra bag. There are a variety of Sholdit’s available in many colors and fabrics. The one that I received for review was the Basic Raven Black Clutch Wrap. I found this perfect for walking my dog in the park or going to my son’s baseball games. Both places that I want to have my phone, my keys or even my lipstick. They all fit perfectly in the Sholdit—what a great, comfortable and stylish accessory!

The Sholdit was created by Angela Lee, a woman who was always on the go and grew tired of carrying a traditional bag. She kept hearing from other women that they had the same frustration and after nearly losing her passport and actually losing her phone, her idea for the Sholdit was born. The Sholdit is a uniquely simple product, but so very helpful and provides a place to keep your valuables without having tote around something extra. It looks fantastic too, which is the icing on the cake.
SHOLDIT Clutch Wrap Purse
As I mentioned earlier, I have been wearing it to take my dog on walks to the park. This is so perfect for me because I’m able to put my keys in the pouch. Most of my sweatpants and yoga pants don’t have pockets, so trying to tote my keys has always been an issue. The only downside is that the heavier your keys are, the more the wrap will weigh down on you. I personally like to double wrap it, but with the heavy keys, the inner loop of the scarf starts to move tighter around my neck. Not a big deal at all and I probably don’t need my entire key ring for my morning walk. You can wear it as single loop too, which would alleviate that type of problem.

All in all, this is a genuinely unique and useful accessory that I absolutely adore. There are a variety of styles to choose from and you can even create a customized product if you like. The prices of these accessories range from $25 – $60 and are available on the Sholdit web site.
