Tip of the Day–necklace length and how to quickly change it

Tip of the day–necklace length and how to quickly change it. Alright–here’s the 411. [If that means what I think it means we’re good to go. If it doesn’t mean what I think it means I’m still heading to the end of a blog post.] I love costume jewelry–and by costume jewelry I mean jewelry that is darling, fabulous, bright, cheap, sophisticated, sparkly, cheap, whimsical, classic, vintage, reasonably priced, trendy, loopy, twisty, dangly, smart, beautiful, and inexpensive [another word for ‘cheap’].  I’m never [as in ever] going to be the gal who needs to hire an armed guard to protect her from jewelry assailants.

Or even just have a good friend walk with me everywhere I go. [Although that would be enjoyable for so many different reasons.  Not the armed guard part–the ‘have a good friend walk with me everywhere I go’ part.]

Every once in a sweet creek moon I’ll put on a necklace and it just doesn’t fall in the right spot.

–If it’s a multi-strand necklace and the shortest strand insists on hiding underneath the top of the shirt I’m wearing–boo.

–If the necklace looks like it’s a choker and I don’t want it to–boo.

–If the necklace is just long enough that I have to keep maneuvering it ‘back to center’ so that it doesn’t highlight one side or the other of anything that there is double of in the necklace region [please tell me you know what I’m talking about, girls]–more boo.

Here’s what I do to resolve most of my necklace woes–I use a bracelet.

My necklace of choice for today:

Here it is on.
It was already making plans to tuck itself under my t-shirt.
Oh–no you don’t.
Here’s a bracelet. Not a special one–just a bracelet.
[I don’t wear it very much as a bracelet–it’s mostly worn as a lengthener thingy.]
I won’t wear the bracelet so that it’s showing.  The weight of the necklace will keep the bracelet right behind my neck, safely inconspicuous under my luxurious locks of hair.
This is how I connect the two pieces of jewelry.
So simple, huh?  I’m absolutely certain that many of you do this already.
But I’m still blogging it.
Tun-tun-tun-tah!

I took a sad necklace and made it better, better, better–AAaaaHhhhhHHH!

~grin~

This is a lovely song–and not at all tied to the topic.

I just like it.

Listen if you care to.
