ornamentation
I'm wearing a new necklace today. It's one of those many-stranded beaded things, supposedly made under fair trade rules by artisan craftswomen in Nepal or something. I don't think I've ever worn a chunky, substantial necklace like this; most of my neck jewelry consists of thin chains with small pendants, and the rest are understated silver-link deals no more than a quarter of an inch wide. This one isn't heavy or anything, but I'm still doing double-takes whenever I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I can't take off my suit jacket because the contrast between the mostly-black necklace and my off-white shirt is just too much of a leap for me today.
If you happen to run across my self-confidence, please drop it in the mail with a label saying, "Return to Owner." I'll cover postage.
Wow. What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. I just feel self-conscious about my new necklace. I'm not allowed?
you are allowed. at least you've already gotten over the stress of a wedding. i'll trade.. you can stand in for me with the dress and the pictures and everything and i'll attempt to wear your necklace.. tho then again i have a hard time wearing a shaitel to work and having people look at me... OY... have you seen mine self confidence? i believe it's at some nice warm beach with it's head in the sand.. hmm.. maybe it has a good idea.. at least the nice warm beach part.
I missed something... if you don't like it, or if it's just completely not you, then why are you wearing it?
It's not completely not-me....just a little not-me. I do like it, in theory, it's just different from other stuff I've worn in the past. It's growing on me, I think,
Please post a pic! It sounds wonderfully fab to me and you need me to give you tons of compliments on it, I KNOW!!! :-D
