What I'm Wearing Wednesday


This is a Trifari bracelet. For me it's a cross between delicate with the patterned rope and strong with the geometric design. Which pretty much fits me today as I'm feeling a bit pulled in both directions. I blame the heat since it has been extremely warm this week and getting only a small amount of rest I'm all off balance. Ok... and last night a fellow friend had her goodbye send off as she is switching from Disney to OWN. And I had one of these:

Chocolate Martini
Which really got me thinking about brown colored jewelry. Brown is not my color but if I needed to wear brown what would I wear? So I pulled images together so you could see what I would wear to work if I owned any of these. I have been known to take fancy brooches and pin them into my hair as a barrette (french twist) or a fancy ponytail holder. FYI: hairspray before pinning so you don't get any hairspray onto the brooch.

Yes I'm Back


For the second year I brought and wore the following gold vintage necklace which is a Monet on this particular vacation. Doesn't it compliment my redness, darn the sun, at least I came home tan.

This is what I call a play piece. I found this at a antique mall for a extremely low price. It is not in mint condition. Allot of the gold has been worn off the chain and the tips of each point. But I love the collar effect and the flame type design.

A few helpful tips when wearing any costume jewelry perfume will erode the metal. Plus just the acidity of your skin but skin care products and such may also tamper with the metal overlay.
