Fashion Jewelry

My husband is generally appalled by the amount of time I spend watching jewelry shopping channels and even many of those "Real Housewife" shows.  I'm loath to watch television advertising, so any time there is a commercial break, I flip over to JTV, or scan through HSN, QVC and the like.  I'll hit Bravo sometimes too.  I just have a Jewelry Jones.

Earlier in my adult life (and for a brief period in my 40's when I thought a lady my age should be "classic"), I had the attitude that my jewelry had to be "real" (as in precious metals and natural gemstones), but was able to shake that mindset.  I have accepted the fact that while I have tried to be that classic  sort of person, I really am attracted to bling.  So I decided not to fight it and let fashion jewelry into my life.

Some of the pieces I own were my grandmothers, other pieces came from vintage shops and estate sales.  I've branched out and purchase on-line and sometimes in brick and mortar stores.  Some pieces have been gifts.

 
Now that I work in a casual workplace, I could schlub around, but feel that one aspect of working in a non-conventional atmosphere is that you should feel free to be yourself.  And myself sports bling.

 
This outfit came together based on my desire to wear the funky necklace.  Once I decided on that, it was easier to pick the clothing.  Most people decide what to wear based on clothing first and accessories second.  Not me! I can be pretty sure no one will think me a copy-cat or is likely to tell me they have the same necklace.   This is my little way of bringing a bit of opulence into my otherwise simple life.

    1. Oh thank you for the concern! I am in Western NY (Buffalo). We are 9 hours from New York City. We do have a commuter/light transit line -- but it just has one route and I don't need to take it to work any longer. Those commuter train accidents are scary and having lived "downstate" years ago and having taken those trains, my heart gets heavy when I hear of these accidents. I hope those who were injured recovery quickly.

  7. connexion republics steel jewelry
    It is very easy to figure out the main reasons. First, this kind of jewelry is very easy to keep or maintain. Second, the pearl jewelry is relatively cheap when compared with some other jewelry. Of course, this kind of jewelry is also very endurable in terms of the quality.
