Other than the large diamond on her wedding ring, the jewelry she had on was subtle but definitely meant to impress. There were six or seven thin bracelets on one wrist, and four or five on the other. Most of them were gold, and several were diamond. Her ears sported large diamond studs. There were several thin chains around her neck, some of them holding small charms.
The woman walked past me and turned the corner. Even after she was gone from sight I kept thinking about all that jewelry. Did she have 'people' to do all the work around her house so she didn't have to worry about getting her jewelry dirty? Did she leave it all on or take everything off and put it back on every day (which would take a very long time)? Did she change the pieces out everyday or keep the same ones like a jewelry uniform?

ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of brain work to keep track and decide what to wear with what, and how to keep it safe and how to get more. I'm happy without. It's easier.
ReplyDeleteOh, I bet she switches out that jewelry every day. She's got the time, and undoubtedly the jewelry, to do it.
ReplyDeleteI could picture her perfectly! I’ve wondered the same thing about people who wear a lot of jewelry daily. Do they have a system, or just tons of time?
ReplyDeleteGuess I am just lucky.. never come across women ( or men for that matter) who look like that!! Maybe that's because I only go to Wal Mart, the grocery store and the veggie stand in front of the gym!!
ReplyDeleteIt takes time, effort and money to be perfectly groomed at all times. It must make it hard to be spontaneous, though.
ReplyDeleteWas she happy?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
