What Was I Thinking: Confessions of a Jewelry Faux Pas
August 16th, 2006 by Jackie
You may or may not know this but I’m the quintessential fashionista, a sovereign of style. I’m a girl of glimmer, jewelry’s my game. I know just how to glam up for the perfect effect. I’m not bragging, I work darn hard at looking good! Even I mis-accessorize on occasion though (as I did Saturday night).
Having received the black-tie invitation months ago, I’d had plenty of time to buy a fabulous dress, perfect jewelry, shoes and bag. By the time last Saturday rolled around I was good to go. I was sure of one thing, there was going to be no last-minute scrambling for jewelry. Running a bit late, I left the house in a hurry, looking (I thought) fabulous in my tight dress and dazzling gemstone jewelry. The great jewelry realization had yet to come.
Half way through the night, as I was inconspicuously looking down to eye the shoes of the woman beside me, I noticed that I’d neglected to remove my day jewelry. The toe ring and ankle bracelet I’d worn earlier were still on!
I was horrified.
What was I thinking? How did I miss that jewelry faux pas?
I’d gotten gorgeous without even noticing I’d worn casual jewelry on an elegant jewelry occasion! Perhaps nobody noticed, I thought, as I ran to the ladies to remove the offending jewelry. I continued the night like the jewelry oversight hadn’t happened. Wishful thinking!
Sunday morning I received a call (re: jewelry disaster). Apparently someone had noticed the accessory error of the ‘jewelry genie’ and was buzzing about town with the news. It’ll be months before the town forgets my jewelry boo-boo.
So take heed girls, check your jewelry! Check your jewelry in the shower! Check your jewelry while dressing! Check your jewelry when putting on your pumps! Check your jewelry in the mirror and, for heavens sake, check your jewelry before you walk out that door! Check your jewelry, check your jewelry, check your jewelry!
You’re never in too much of a hurry to look good. Never ever!
And don’t forget to check your jewelry!
