linked in...

have you ever had those moments where you find something in a magazine...or on someone...that catches your eye...and you realize...that you have the components to make up that look? it happens...but for me...it usually means needing one piece to complete it...the outfit...

so as i was perusing the june issue of allure...the fashion extras section had "linked in" as the title...a gorgeous array of chain bracelets...and what is nice about these...there is no bulk...so for someone like me...who has very tiny wrists...this is a great idea...of course the one that caught my eye is the verdura...gold and black jade...it is only $14,750...a little bit of a stretch for me...ok...who am i kidding...a big stretch for me...

but then i thought...i think i have something like this from years and years ago...so i started looking through lots of forgotten jewelry...some from the 80's...my corporate america days...and i not only found one...i found three! so i'm pretty excited to bring these babies out...and give them new life...

from left to right...
black/gold - don't know who this is
gold link chain - anne klein

  1. OOPS... I think I just recently through out some old chain bracelets...sometimes I think I should not throw anything out...but then I would end up on a HOARDING show!!

  2. They look great! Just goes to show that sometimes hanging onto some of our more classic pieces is a good strategy.

  3. pam - believe me...as i was looking through my stash...i was thinking...i really need to go through these and get rid of a lot of it...

    i agree with adena...when you keep the classic pieces...they really are great to keep working back in your current wardrobe.
