If you are typing the English into French, where is "I want to wear" from the English? I don't see it in French . I will check the articles you mention, however.

Where is "a belt which is black and where did the blue jeans come from?"

silver bracelets = d'argent (or en argent) UNLESS there are several kinds of silver. In other words why is silver plural? (silvers)

OK; I found the blue jeans in French but definitely NOT in the same order as the English !

I see. The word order apparently does not have to be the same. However it makes it very confusing when I'm checking the French with the English! I'm losing track!

You PUT ON a purse? Usually you carry a purse.

5. une bague noire = it's a black ring

6. You said a HEART necklace = un collier dans la forme d'un coeur (or formé comme un coeur)

8. Je porte une paire de chaussures (or simply "des chaussures" because usually that means two)...where is the "polka dot" part? If you can't find "polka dot" in your text or dictionary, SKIP that.

Also in #7. you said heart earrings in the English.
