What Necklace To Wear Wednesday?

Hey GUG Gals!

We hope that you're having a fabulous Wednesday! Choosing accessories can sometimes be an exhausting task. Deciding weather or not you have chosen too much or too little can be a bit confusing.When it comes to picking the perfect necklace to go with the neckline on your top, you might find yourself in quite the dilemma. Well today we are here to help you decide which necklace to chose, by showing you what looks best with certain necklines!


1. Crew Neck: Crew necklines are high cut and usually fit right around the neck. Therefore when choosing a necklace you have lots of room to accessorize. In our example, we used a smaller statement necklace with a graphic tee. In this case we were trying to not cover up the graphic print so we chose a smaller statement piece.

2. Strapless: Strapless tops are the perfect way to bring attention to your face. Using a large statement necklace will grab that hot boy's attention and make him see how pretty you are!

3. V Neck: V neck tops are quite simple. The neckline actually gives you a perfect palette for a necklace! Chose a necklace with a V type design that will fall perfectly in place.

4. Collar: Collared shirts are perfect for that large statement necklace you've been dying to wear! Button the shirt all the way up and wear it right under the collar.

5. Scoop or Boat Neck: Scoop or Boat necklines are the most common and easy to style because the neckline is high cut and gives you room to accessorize. Now is the time to wear that big bold necklace or long layers.

You can get all these looks at www.gugonline.com! We hope that you have found this helpful in deciding the perfect necklace! Comment below and let us know if you have any questions!

Get in touch with your natural beauty with this neutral colored outfit. White washed boyfriend jeans are simple, so comfortable, and go with everything! The gray tank with lace trim accents nicely under the sheer, lightweight white blouse and can be buttoned multiple ways as mentioned earlier. To complete this look here are five easy everyday make-up steps to create a lightweight and neutral palette that enhances your natural beauty!

On Wednesdays We Wear PINK!

What is pink? To some, it may just be a color. To some it is the universal color of love. To an artist, it may just be a mixture of white and red and nothing more. To a psychologist, it may mean the giving and receiving of compassion and love. It may stand for feminism and romance, kindness and empathy, or respect and admiration.

To a woman who has survived breast cancer, it is the color she gains strength and hope from.

“It represents strong, courageous, fighter, empowered, educated, faith, warrior and every other characteristic that helps us survive." -A Survivor

Today, we will be featuring some of our breast cancer items. Women do not stop fighting this disease when October ends, so let's spread some awareness with these GUG pieces!

You've got your outfit; now all you need is a special desert to bring to that Memorial Day Party!


Ingredients

1 - 16.5 oz package Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 - 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 - 8 oz container cool whip
Fruit for decorating

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare a mini muffin tin by lightly spraying it with cooking spray.
3. Roll Sugar cookie dough into 3/4" balls and drop 1 per mini muffin cup. (There is no need to spread the balls of dough in the muffin tin. They will rise and fall to make the perfect little cups for your filling.)
4. Bake for 6-7 minutes.
5. Remove for muffin tins and cool completely on a wire metal rack.
6. In a medium sized bowl whip the softened cream cheese.
7. Add the cool whip to the cream cheese and beat until nice and smooth.
8. Fill cookie cups with the mixture. You can do this by placing the mixture in Ziploc bag, cutting off the tip of the bag, and piping into the cookie cups. Or you can just use a knife to spread the mixture in the cookie cups.
9. Decorate with fruit.

Notes
- You can bake the cookie cups a day ahead of time, but I recommend not filling them until the day you are serving them because the cookie will get soft.


Comment us below why you are proud to be an American for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to GUG! The winner will be announced on Tuesday May 27th at 12:00 P.M. CST

Have a fun and safe weekend! XOXO-the girls at GUG
