I think that's quite pretty and fits in with the chapter, especially since it's a rectangle.
But when you add a picture of, let's say, the necklace like you had just described it doesn't look good. Think about it, in professional books, they don't have pictures. And if they do, then they won't be of a piece of clothing that they don't know how to describe. The whole point of reading is so we can think about the story, IMAGINE it. Giving a picture just ruins that whole concept.

My jeans were black but faded, creating a shadowed grey colour that didn't go well with my dark skin tone and had rippedin various places unintentionally. I wore a navy blue, Adidas crop top that showed of mytattooed stomach. My feet were submerged in soft fluff ; Ugg boots were always my favourite. My necklace.
