A Statement Piece


Isn't it incredible that a simple pair of shoes can make you feel like a million bucks? You know what I'm talking about, right? I'm not talking about your comfort pieces/everyday things. I'm talking about the statement piece. Maybe it's an antique brooch from your grandmother or a brightly colored scarf that brightens the cold winter day or a pair of 3 inch stilleto's that make your legs look amazing or a knock'em dead eye-shadow palette. Whatever it may be, it's unique and nothing can ruin your day when you're rocking it.

I have a statement necklace that answers this description. It's a rather large diamond/crystal encrusted flower with a dark green emerald center. It drapes around my neck at the perfect place, held by three strands of golden pearls. I won't tell you where I got it, but I'll just say that it looks more expensive that it actually cost. This necklace makes me feel confident, more than that, it makes me feel powerful, attractive, and unstoppable.

A few months ago, I wore it to a cocktail party in Manhattan. At the end of the evening an older gentleman came over to compliment me on the necklace. I felt the usual rush that comes when someone else recognizes my beautiful necklace, but this was more, because shortly after I learned that the man was the son of Harry Winston, one of the most famous jewelers in the World. I'm sure he knew the diamonds were fake but he obviously liked it regardless.

Like I said, it's a damn fine necklace. Cheers to the simple things.

  1. I like that necklace: It is an attractive piece and looks very nice on you. I have this amazing blue sweater that was given to me by my wonderful friend Judy. Whenever I wear it, I feel beautiful. =) That Judy sure has great taste.

  2. That sweater is amazing! It's the beautiful cream embroidered flowers on the back and front sides that catch people's attention. It's from a little boutique called Georgia located in Oklahoma.
