Happy Monday everybody! Sorry I wasn’t here to entertain you over the weekend, but I did get busy helping change our website!! If you haven’t yet, check out are new look at www.dresscodebygita.com! It is still a work in progress, but we are getting there slowly. We are back and better than ever in the new decade! Even though January is my least favorite month, I do love the new beginnings and fresh starts that come with it.
So, as I said in my last blog, we at Dresscode, have some New Year’s resolutions, and one of them is to follow Marie-Helene de Taillac’s 8 jewelry rules. You should try following them too! Looking at the jewelry rules, I am giggling to myself because they sort of state the obvious and as I read them, I found myself responding aloud with a “DUH,” but in reality, I do not follow any of them….! So along with exercising more, eating healthier, reading more, and blah blah blah, I have added the jewelry rules to my list of New Year’s resolutions…
Jewelry Rule #1
Jewels, like most things, prefer not to be dropped….
Dropping jewelry can result in scratching your pieces and even worse, lost items! When I read this, many flashbacks of me searching for jewelry popped into my head (especially in college!). Over the years, I have found many half pairs of earrings unfortunately…years later, to find them behind my dresser, under my bed, once in my snow boot…yes my snow boot..I don’t mean to drop my jewelry, but my butter fingers and my absent mind has had me all over the place! Looking back, it is quite funny, but not when I need those earrings that would be perfect for my simple outfit, or that bold ring that would be the perfect complement to my handbag! I have definitely gotten better over the years though, lets call it growing into a mature, responsible adult…
Anyway, this year, I will not drop any of my jewelry…nor will I lose any. I will be more responsible in the way I handle my jewelry so that I do not have those hour long episodes of hunting and rummaging through my things to find what I am looking for!
Are you a culprit of this too? Or is it just me?! Well, see if you follow the rest of Marie’s rules. Keep popping in to see what they are!
