I Crave Delicate Gold Necklaces

There was one other thing I bought this weekend!

A short, simple gold necklace + pendant!

shining star

Suddenly I really wanted one! I used to only like my long necklaces. Rosaries and such. Or something thick and flashy. Chunky chain links, etc. But lately I wanted something sweet that hit near my collarbone.

I wasn’t sure if it was just a passing fancy so I purchased the star this weekend.

All from style-arena.jp

It was Sunday, I didn't shower LOLOLOLOL, I look a mess and am really sleepy

Best thing about it? $1.50 from Forever21

I know it’ll tarnish soon, won’t last, etc, etc but I need to be sure I really did like the style before buying something pricier. I was thinking under $100 though. Something only gold dipped maybe. I was looking at those Dogeared necklaces at first. Lots of charms to choose from and I tried a few on last weekend.

Something from Jupiter would be a dream! It’s a brand Rinka has worked with for many years. They make simple, sweet pieces mostly. Very beautiful. Rinka has her own line for many seasons now.

I want this because I'm a mega fan LOL

Sehr Teuer, ja?! $$$$

But then today I found two gold charms from my childhood!
I’M SO HAPPY! I THOUGHT I LOST THEM!

I knew the chains were long gone. There were two necklaces my grandmother gave me when I was about 13. I was still very, very tom-boyish then and I really didn’t like the necklaces. The chains were extremely delicate and over time I knotted them and broke them. But I can’t believe I held onto the charms! One is a double heart. The other is a kitty.

I kept them in a jewelry box I rarely opened. Notice the Deutsche Mark!

Now I just need a short gold chain! I’m so happy I found these

Ah so yeah great Monday! I was really productive today, feels good. Though I’m exhausted. So I’ll end it here.

A little bonus shot from today. I wore these two lip glosses all day. Shu Uemura and Melliesh in Baby Doll. I never realized how well they compliment one another. They ended up together in my makeup pouch by coincidence.
