In my personal simplicity I'm not one to reach for much jewelry as I prepare my way for the door each day. Like most any other young gal, I had my moments back in the day when I did make certain to wear jewelry as well as my makeup too.
These days I've found myself some middle ground. I've makeup & nail polish to apply when the occasion is right & I've jewelry too, for the right moment. A friend recently asked me, when I shared of misplacing (read: dropping, or allowing to slide into disappearance) an earring, if the earrings were nice (read: expensive, or good quality). I responded that these earrings were definitely "nice" in my opinion, especially as they're earrings that I often wear; I keep them at "the ready". I've just a few pairs that I treat as such & I believe each of these select pairs coordinates well with my necklaces & chains. I would consider all of my jewelry to be simple, yet elegant, & definitely "nice".
I never took much to costume jewelry, &, although I very much enjoy their simplicity, I cannot manage much with stud earrings. As the studs poke & cut into my scalp when I have a receiver pressed against my ear. Which, in my work, is quite often. I tend to swing toward those pieces which have the wrap around backs, almost that they don't even need to have backings on them, as well as the pieces that "auto coordinate" with necklaces, etc., yet aren't necessarily designed, or intended as sets. Whenever I've less to match when I'm assembling myself, the better, more confident, & more secure I am.
I'm also aware that I've many pairs of earrings from "back when" that are in earring box which I've carted around to a few housing locations, nearly never lifting the lid to more than glance & remind myself of the exact box contents. It's a box that I should be moving along to the donation center, which I will be, soon.
Ultimately, then, I will have remaining truly that which I need, some simple, yet elegant jewelry pieces, which match one another, yet may stand alone well.
