Workhorse accessories

One of my goals is to subsist entirely on a very small set of awesome, me things. In cultivating this set I'm all about unique, workhorse things that set you apart and serve you well.

For example, the circle pendant gold necklace that goes with everything:

This is Carrie in Season 3, traipsing around town as she dates her new boyfriend, Aidan. Aidan is not the right guy for her, but this isn't about that. This is about a strong, sexy, circle. 









 
In building my own small collection of workhorse accessories, I too am experimenting with necklaces. I've learned that I like somewhat dainty necklaces - not too weighty or long. I like natural stones and shapes. I like gold. I like clasps that don't fall to the front easily. Sometimes, just sometimes, something will stick, and it's like you've grown a friend. Yet somehow knowing all this doesn't keep me from having 2 dozen necklaces I love and rarely wear.

Minimalism seems impossible. Guess it feels good to have back-up flair.

  1. I've been on a mad search (for about 2 years) for a gold pendant circle necklace that falls perfectly on my clavicle but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. No success thus far. Please keep us posted on your search :-)
