When The Tiger Roars

Or in my case it's a small meow. I decided to get my hair cut and to show case it I wore a black sweater and a Tiger eyes necklace. Yes a necklace I swaer I thought I showed before on this blog, it's Monet.

Needless to say of course I could not pick the best picture for profile pictures for various things such as Live Journal and Linked in though the top shows the necklace enjoy!

Monet Fantasy

In a past post I showed the following Monet vintage necklace that I bought in a antique store and took on vacation. I knew that there has to be at least earrings but had no clue as to what to look for.

Then I finally found this ad and the mystery was solved.

This ad is from 1956 and the model in the image is Susy Parker.

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.

What I'm Wearing Wednesday

It a metal mix day with a dash of sparkle. A grey Silver mixed with Gold with tiny rhinestones. This fit perfectly with my working and all the responsibilities that go with the job to planning for my once a year very large vacation. In between there always dinner with friends and fun outings which makes life sparkle.

The necklace is Monet bought within the last two years.

What I'm wearing Wednesday

Today with just a t-shirt and jeans I'm wearing the staple of jewelry simple silver hoops.

We are in a heat wave and I found out yesterday that wearing heavy jewelry may not be wise as I drove home and sweated. Of course my concern would be any acidity that could eat away at the silver Monet necklace I was wearing.

I've also been watching season one of Mad Men and love seeing the jewelry that is picked out for the actresses to wear and how they wore the jewelry. This necklace would fit back in that time and probably was worn then as it is from my grandmother's collection.
