Gold and/or Silver

[Marilyn]

I prefer silver and usually wear it every day, but do wear yellow gold when the outfit has warmer gold tones.

My daily jewelry is mixed because my wedding rings are white gold with a diamond solitaire & I wear a diamond dinner ring on my right hand that is in a yellow gold setting, with a stainless steel band pinky ring. The pinky ring indicates that I am a member of the Order of the Engineer. There are enough diamonds in the dinner ring that it has a silvery look, so to me it's fine. Hubby gave me the ring after our first daughter was born. Around Christmas, I wear the ring he gave me after our second daughter was born, it's a combination of diamonds and emeralds (my birthstone is emerald). I've told the girls that they each get their ring when I pass on.

Hubby bought me a watch last Christmas that has both yellow and white metal on it, so my hands are one big combination. Other jewelery, ear rings and necklaces are always coordinated to be complementary to each other.

When I grow up, I'll start coordinating earrings and such. I've been wearing the same three different pairs of earrings for almost twenty years - small gold balls, very small diamonds, or small gold hoops.

Way off from the topic, but I'm just not a girly girl and sometimes I wish I were. I don't take time to use lotion or moisturizers. It's probably too late to start now. When I break a nail, I don't take time to file or clip it, just break it off or bite it off. I'm a jeans, boots, and baseball cap country kinda girl.

I look at women with all their matching clothes, shoes, jewelry, accessories and I sometimes want to be like that. Is it fun matching everything like that?

I'm with you Sandy. I'm not a girly girl either....tell her Diana..lol. I wear a pair of stud earrings all the time..usually same one for months on end, a watch, wedding ring and another ring. That's it. If we go to a wedding for funeral I do dress up a bit more, but just not into jewelry and makeup either. Very seldom do I need to wear makeup to drive the bus...lol and in the summer I would sweat it off anyway.

Janet, I hope it doesn't insult you, but, I think we're sisters!

Doesn't insult me if it doesn't scare you...lol. I would love to have you as a sister. I miss having a sister to share things with, but I'm so very blessed to have all of you.

Sandy, I'm both kinds of girl. When I go to work, I look nice, I match, I wear coordinating jewelry, etc. But on the weekends I'm a jeans and boots (or tennies) kinda of girl. I don't wear makeup and I'm just comfortable.

I didn't used to find it fun Sandy, I had zero interest. Now that I take care of my self and ditched the XXL mens clothing, it is so much fun experimenting with your style! lol I was a late bloomer.
I keep it simple, usually just a great pair of earrings or a necklace and the engagement ring. Clothes and shoes are more my vice
