Article: A great way to take any outfit to the next level is by adding a pair of heels. Heels will make your legs look longer while also taking your outfit from casual to chic. If you're dressing up for date night or going to a restaurant, wear your mom jeans with a pair of heels and a blouse. Make sure you cuff the hems so that your heels will be noticed. Offset a casual top, such as a crop top or sweater, with heels to create a bolder look. For a classic and simple look, pair your mom jeans with flats. To make sure your flats are noticed, cuff the bottom of your jeans or choose cropped jeans. Pair your jeans and flats with a blouse for a great look. Flats are a great choice if you're tall and don't want to add more height while wearing shoes. Ballet flats also go with sweaters as well as blouses, or even a t-shirt. For a casual look, pair your mom jeans with your favorite pair of sneakers. You'll look stylish and comfortable at the same time, and you can wear a t-shirt to complete the look. Putting on some lace-up boots and a loose-fitting t-shirt with your mom jeans will give you an edgy look. You can also pair your lace-up boots with a tucked-in buttoned down men's shirt for a tomboy look. Black lace-up boots are fairly easy to find in shoe stores due to their popularity, and they go great with many different outfits.

Article: Due to the complex nature of the interest rates and conditions attached to savings bonds, the only practical way to obtain their value is to use the free savings bond calculator provided by the U.S. Treasury. The calculator can be accessed by visiting https://www.treasurydirect.gov/BC/SBCPrice. Treasury Direct is the U.S. Treasury's online platform that can be used for purchasing Treasury securities. Once you've located the calculator, input your information. You'll need to include the bond's denomination, issue date, and series. You can enter the issue date in the form mm/yyyy. For example, December 2015 would be 122015. The serial number field is optional. The calculator will still work if you provide the rest of the required information. When you've entered all of your data, press the "calculate" button and the page will refresh with your bond's value calculated below the calculator inputs. The readout will include all pertinent information about the bond, including its value for the current date in the "value" field and the interest earned up to this point. You can then click on "calculate another bond" to add in more information if you have more than one savings bond. I bonds earn both a fixed rate and an additional variable rate for inflation, which is adjusted and accrues every six months. EE bonds earn a fixed rate over the life of the bond. The "Interest Rate" field shows the current interest rate being earned by the bond, not a historical average or previous rate. The rate shown will be earned on the next accrual date. The readout will also display data under the "Next Accrual" field that shows when the next interest payment will be credited to the bond's value. This field shows the date when the built-up interest from the period will be added to the value of your bond. If you are thinking about selling, it is advisable to wait until this time. Otherwise you will lose the accrued interest from the last accrual date to the sell date. The "Note" field may display a code that signifies an additional condition on the bond. For example, "NI" indicates that the "value as of" field is set before the issue date. However, another important result is "P5," which means that the bond is under five years old. In this case, selling the bond at the current date would incur a penalty equal to three months of interest. The calculator will automate show your bond's value on the current date. However, you can also change the date using the box at top left labeled "Value as of." If you have an I bond, the date chosen must be between the beginning of 1996 and the end of the next compounding period. It cannot extend to future dates because the interest rate cannot be predicted, as I bonds have a variable interest rate. If you have an EE bond with a fixed rate, you can accurately calculate the earnings. Dates must be entered in the form mm/yyyy. For example, September 2015 would be entered as 09/2015.

Locate the savings bond calculator. Input your data. Calculate bond value. Identify the next accrual date. Note the interest penalty, if applicable. Calculate value for a different date.
