It’s The Little Things: Quirky Jewelry

I found some pieces of jewelry from the shop UPcycledWorks when she was selling her items at the San Diego Del Mar Fair in June. My daughter and I split the cost of four items. We purchased three rings and a necklace.

I own two of her Scrabble rings. One in a “C.” My husband and daughter’s names both start with this initial. This makes it easy for my daughter and I to share monogrammed pieces.

And one in a “Q.” This letter is for my favorite letter in Scrabble.

Please ignore my this model’s creepy veiny hand. I cannot imagine what her face looks like. Shudder.

I also purchased a Mahjong ring. I cannot believe I have not taken a picture of it on my hand, yet. My husband collects vintage Mahjong sets. We used to play together all of the time, but we have not done so in years. I miss it.

We bought a telescope necklace that my daughter wore and now I cannot find. Sigh. She is as organized as her mother. But I really want these earrings. I have a thing for semicolons. I kind of love them. I try desperately not to use them because one of my favorite writers once commented that they are obnoxious; they live on in my heart.

Do you own any quirky jewelry? I love it all. I like being able to say something without ever speaking a word. Wasn’t that a song? I have semicolons on the brain; I cannot remember.

It’s the little things: fun little pieces of jewelry.

Modcloth Lately

First, thank you all for your kindness yesterday. I really do very much appreciate it. Thank you.

You guys are the best.

Let’s start the day with a light hearted shopping post, shall we:

My sweet mom gave me a generous gift card for Christmas to Modcloth. It came at the perfect time, because I had a cart full of items I had been wanting and a 20% off my entire order code.

Serendipity.

The items all came on Tuesday and I am so excited to share. Some of these items are on such a good sale and if Modcloth sent you a discount code like they did for me, you can get some steals!

I bought the Kick, Woof, Coast Necklace I had been wanting forever. It did not disappoint. This is such a well made little piece. It even comes with instructions from the company on how to send it back if it ever needs repairs.

I had been watching the Pastime and Present Dress for awhile. Then it went 50% + my 20% off making it around $33.60. I love that this dress ranges in sizes XS -4X. Modcloth does it right. I purchased my usual size medium and it fits great. I do not know why I am holding the dress so oddly. It really does hang well.

It reminded me of what Goldilocks would have worn to hang out with the bears. I plan on wearing this with my Kick, Woof, Coast Necklace above, leggings and brown vintage boots. Watch out bears! Here I come! And I happen to like porridge (much to my husband’s chagrin).

Retro Rosie Earrings in red. I all ready owned these in white and wear them all of the time. They are a good substantial size.

The Wizard of Ostrich Sweater in a size Large, because the medium I had ordered previously was teeny tiny and immediately went back. I had given up on this sweater after my sizing dilemma, but when it went 50% off plus my extra 20% plus a gift card, I had to try it again.

I like it. I paired it with my black skirt, black tights, brown boots and fun earrings. With jeans, I feel it is too short. I am very glad I tried this sweater again in a different size. I could not get the ostrich out of my head. Now that’s a line you don’t read every day.

My mom also surprised me with these All Abuzz Earrings from Modcloth. I had wanted them, because they reminded me of my grandma. So sweet!

Thank you Mom! I love you! I cannot wait to wear all of my goodies! I will think of you when I do.

Have you purchased anything from Modcloth recently? What is on your wishlist?

* P.S. I shared this on The Pleated Poppy!
