Day 359 - 366: so close but yet...!

Oh my, day 366 (I should have figured that 2012 was a leap year really and called this the Jewellery 366 challenge)...

There is no Shop of the Week as if this blog has taught me anything it's that we don't need shops! I have almost made it through, there will be two more posts after this...one to cover off the missing 10 days from earlier this year and then one to sum up the whole challenge.

But in the meantime, lets see what festive delights I've worn this week! Top to bottom; blue bead necklace (hand made), flower bracelet (Jon Richard), crystal necklace (Marks and Spencer), gold and purple bangles (Jon Richard), stone and bead necklace (present),multi stone bracelet (Evans), bead and string bracelet (Marks and Spencer) and black and silver bib necklace (Marks and Spencer).

 

 

Day 268 - 274 Summary and Shop of the Week

 

I promised you rings!!! These are a collection of rings I've amassed over the last 13 or so years, they are all silver and range from cheap ones from teh high street to my own grandmothers wedding ring (which fits my ring finger, so that's where I get my stumpy little fingers from then!!)

 

And my Shop of the Week this week is the lovely Something that I mentioned a few weeks ago. And I may have just totally fallen in love with the Pug necklace!!

 

Top to bottom, left to right: Silver and crystal ring from boutique in Bournemouth, silver solitaire (not sure where it's from), wibbly wobbly ring from antique shop in Godalming, circles ring from market in Sutton, simple two stone ring from Oasis, blingy solitaire (not sure where from!) and Chunky crystal ring from Evans.

The Sunday Summary

I wore the chunky Evans ring yesterday and it reminded me that for the fat of finger (I really do have the shortest, stubbiest fingers ever!) you can't really fault Evans. I have a lot of issues with their clothes of course, but when it comes to jewellery I think that Evans does really well and I regularly see their stuff featured in fashion spreads in magazines like Look, which is great. Just because you don't have the wrists or fingers of a dainty size 8 doesn't mean you don't want to rock the latest trends so good for Evans for offering pieces that can be both fashionable and flattering. That makes them my Shop of the Week this week.

Day 231 - Monochrome Evans ring

I got this from Evans a long time ago - I don't usually wear chunky rings but I was going to a wedding and had a black and white dress so this really worked. Actually, when I spotted this ring in my drawer I counted 21 other rings that I'd not worn yet (eek!) - and I also spotted a lot of sterling silver ones that had tarnished really badly. I need to find my polishing cloth and then I'll be able to wear those later in the year but I decided that as I am quite bad at alternating my rings (apart from my wedding and engagement ring I tend to only rotate 2 or 3 on a regular basis) then for the next three weeks I am going to wear a different costume rung every day! A challenge within a challenge! To be honest I only decided to do it because there were exactly 21! So this is number one, I hope you enjoy seeing the rest! I've also slightly moved my photographing point as we're having a bit of a spring clean at the mo and my usual spot in the hall is a little, how shall we say, umm 'busy!' This ring also makes me chuckle a bit as I think the middle 'flower' looks like a dead fly!!
