INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A single-color t-shirt will add contrast to your outfit while keeping it simple. Light colored jackets can be offset with dark colored shirt choices and vice versa. Wear a graphic tee for a trendier look. When selecting a graphic tee or similar shirts, choose ones with designs on the front-middle of the shirt. This way others can see the design when your jacket's unbuttoned. When wearing a tee, elaborate shoes might clash with your casual look. Try sneakers, simple boat shoes, or a casual, low-cut boot. Simple patterns, like horizontal stripes, can add pop to your ensemble. More complex patterns, like paisley, may draw attention away from your jacket. Jean jackets are often associated with rugged cowboys and rural farmers. Emphasize these qualities with plaid and simple checked patterns. Shirts made of flannel fabric are also an excellent choice for the rustic look. To complete your rustic appearance, wear a cowboy hat and some cowboy boots. Try not to over accessorize, as this may come across as though you're trying too hard to look the part. If the color or the style of the denim of your jacket and pants don't match, these may end up clashing. Get around the matching problem by wearing black jeans with your jean jacket. Keep this look simple and refined with a pair of brown shoes or low cut boots. Wear sneakers to dress this look down. Khaki pants will provide a casual, laid-back look with nearly any shirt and jean jacket combo. Traditional khakis will suit blue and black jackets. Khakis dyed non-traditional colors can add some variety to an everyday outfit. Pair traditional khakis with a jean jacket and a button down shirt for a look that might be described as "rugged gentleman." Brown accessories, like belts and bracelets, and brown footwear, like derbies and oxfords, work well with traditional khaki pants. Oxblood colors add a rich, refined warmth to this look.

SUMMARY: Keep casual with a t-shirt. Play up the rustic qualities of your jacket. Match denim pants with your jacket carefully. Choose khaki pants for a versatile outfit.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a knife to cut the pan of rice crispy treats before you store them. This will help each piece to freeze evenly and make it easier to pull out individual treats once they're frozen. If you use a container, fill it up layer by layer with the treats, then seal the top. Freezer bags are a great alternative for when you can't find the right size of container or don't want to leave your containers in long-term storage. Simply fill a freezer bag with 1 or 2 layers of treats, press out any extra air, and seal it up tight. If you're using a container, look for one made of either plastic or glass pyrex to store your squares. Try to find the right size of container that won't leave too much extra space at the top. Eliminating extra air will help keep the treats fresher for a longer amount of time. This will help prevent the rice crispy treats from sticking and bonding. Measure your container or freezer bag, then cut the wax paper to about the same size. This will make stacking and sealing much easier. To help you keep track of the treats' freshness, make sure to place a piece of tape on the top of the container and write down today's date. These labels will help you easily determine whether or not the treats are edible when you find them in your freezer later. Up until 6 weeks, you can keep enjoying these sweet treats. After 6 weeks, the treats will likely lose most of their moisture and turn rock-hard. If you see any containers with a date label from more than 6 weeks ago, just throw away the old rice crispy treats. To eat a frozen rice crispy treat, take it out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before eating or serving. This thawing period will bring back some of the rice crispy treat's original softness and gooeyness.

SUMMARY:
Cut the rice crispy treats into even squares. Place the squares in an airtight container or freezer bag. Lay a piece of wax paper between each layer of treats. Use a piece of tape to mark the date on the container. Place the container in the freezer and keep the treats for up to 6 weeks. Let the frozen treats thaw for 15 minutes before eating.
