Sometimes luck / fate / destiny confuses me. Or at least makes me stop and think.
I've had a fine jewelry fetish since I can remember. No faux costume trinkets for me. The real deal all the way! I'd rather have a small cache of precious items than a truck load of fashion items. Don't know why, (To borrow a phrase; 'it's just how I roll'). I so admire and even envy girls who always have the latest jewelry trend pulling their 'look' together but - not for me.
Until recently.
I purchased a summer kaftan from Witchery and as I was paying was informed they had a $50-off-if you-spend-$150 sale. Nice win! Yee Ha!
Of course, the top was $149! (Duh!)
Sooo, I picked up a silver bead bracelet with medallion that reminded me of the Tiffany one I've been eyeing off for awhile. (See pic above) And it worked out I got it for free. Yippee! (Back to being a winner!)
Now...
I wore said bracelet a few times and LOVED it. I got positive comments and I actually thought I'd cracked my real-only obsession and then 'KL's Law' kicked in.
'KL's Law' is like 'Murphy's' except it's happening to moi!
I was carrying ten-thousand shopping bags of family sustenance upstairs and BAM, the medallion was gone. Just like that. On the wrist in garage. BAM. Non-existent in kitchen. I searched the car, the garage and every one of those ten thousand plastic bag. That medallion had somehow self combusted.
Now, where's the moral to this story?
Lost freebie - It wasn't Tiffany's.
I think my glass is still half full. Maybe even full. What do you think?
(Or should I drink less wine when posting! LOL!)

Thank you for stopping by my blog. You are very welcome and encouraged to comment; I love receiving feedback! It helps me get to know you too!
I think your glass should remain full....of champagne that is!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Melbourne Cup. x
Maybe it's a sign ... or a reminder... that you should be true to yourself and stay away from "faux costume trinkets" :P
ReplyDeleteBut like you said, it was a freebie so your glass is still full in my opinion :)

Oh funny. You know if it was the real deal the medallion would've stayed on...maybe...well,one would like to think! xx
ReplyDeleteI see your glass as full for all the positives you see. Love the real deal through, on the wish list. KP
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments every one! I should have bet yesterday on a horse Toni & Guilia! And I think I will stay with the real trinkets from now on B, nrkp and Brismod! Still happy I didn't lose a tiffany charm. Whew! Thanks for the tip B to squizz madebygirl's blog. Those throws are divine! You definitely know what I like and lust for!
