Gold and/or Silver

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.

Just have to look nice for my work, and for church on Sundays. Outside sales requires a bit of effort to look nice for my customers. If I didn't, I would not be being responsible to my employer. I wear makeup every day, unless I'm home sick. Just can't go out in public without it. One of the few times I did, I got caught on TV, would you believe. I was waving the reporter away, but they still broadcast the piece. I've mentioned it before, it was when I ran to the store on Thanksgiving morning to grab something we needed last minute.

When I say coordinated jewelry, that does not necessarily mean it matches, but it coordinates, same colors, same weight. My jewelry for the most part is inexpensive stuff from Dillards or craft shows stored in a plastic divided box you can buy at any craft store. (Kind of box you store screws and things in.)

I'm pretty basic though, same earth toned eye shadow, very seldom do I vary the shades. Same color eye liner pencil. Same lipstick. I have the routine down, could probably almost do it with eyes closed. Wash and blow dry hair every day.

Same daily skin care products. I get so sick of the routine, and still hate it that men get off so easy.

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
