So last night (after the boys went to bed, of course), my husband and I were talking, and of course I was gushing about how excited I am about some of the upcoming changes to the website and display. And he says, "I will never understand why you like jewelry so much".
Sigh. I realize that there are some men who will never understand certain things about women, for instance: why we go to the bathroom in packs, why we think high heels are a good idea (I have a shaky grasp on that one myself), and why we like to wear shiny things. My husband is definitely one of those men, God love him.
But I found myself thinking about a good answer to his question. Why do I like jewelry so much? I think I found the answer when I was talking to a neighbor of mine, who also has two little ones. I gave her a piece of jewelry as a thank-you, and she mentioned that she never wears jewelry, but she would like to because it always makes her feel so put-together. And that's it: I like the way it looks, but it's the way it makes me feel that makes me love great jewelry.
If I'm having a 'fat day', or if I'm feeling down, or if life just doesn't seem that great in general, putting on a great piece of jewelry makes me feel like at least I look pretty put together. And then I feel more together and more beautiful. All day. For instance, right now I haven't showered and I am wearing raggy clothes and I've got some serious spots of spit-up on my shirt. But I have some serious earrings on, and a beautiful piece of antique mother-of-pearl around my neck, and I feel great. Life is good.
