  161. Perfect.
    I've long been in search of a 'signature piece' that just kinda lives on my person regardless of outfits. This one would be very sweet-and I have an affection for fortune cookies, especially of the chocolate covered variety. My favorite fortune ever (saved it):
    "You will bring sunshine into someone's life.
