Hopelessly Heather

The ramblings and obsessions of a longtime Avon lady

I picked up fresh pasta in downtown Philly for dinner last Saturday night and wore Avon’s Side Tie Ruched Top in Green, Layered Chain Necklace, and the small gold ball studs from Pearly Earring Variety Pack!

This necklace is heavy!  On top of that, I kept having issues with the longest layer’s chain “kinking”.  I took it off and straightened the chain a few times before finally giving up–maybe I got a defective one.  Regardless, I still really liked the look of this one, even if it is a little bit like Mr. T’s starter pack (as the hubs likes to say).  The earrings are exactly like the first pair my ears were pierced with: tiny gold ball studs.  Traditional and works with anything–you can’t go wrong.  The variety pack is crammed with FIFTEEN pairs of earrings: five goldtone, five silvertone, and five rose goldtone–all with traditional ball studs and pearl ball studs in varying sizes–a tremendous deal!

I’m taking this sparkle show on the road…er, to work! Featuring: Avon’s Cluster Huggie Hoop Earrings—a star is born!

When I saw these and read the description, I thought there was s real possibility that my fat lobes wouldn’t fit, but I’m delighted to report that I was wrong! While they are still small compare to other hoops, they are definitely large enough to accommodate all lobe sizes. They also pack a lot of sparkle in such a tiny package!

On Monday I was back in black with Avon’s Petite Cluster Necklace and Earring Set! ::screamin’ guitar solo::

While I’ve seen several of these types of sets before, they’ve always been set in gold or silver. Setting it in black gives it a “dirtier”, more casual feel to it. Let those inner bad girls out to play, ladies!

I don’t blush, but my jewelry does! Check out Avon’s ultra-feminine Blush Statement Necklace and Earring Set!

It’s not pink, it’s blush!  (For those uninitiated, that’s my nod to my favorite movie, Steel Magnolias–if you haven’t already seen it, I highly recommend it.  You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and, best of all, you’ll laugh while you’re crying!)  This set features blush and clear glass stones set in rose goldtone that have an iconic circa 60s Avon feel to the design.  One of the pluses to the necklace is that it can be cinched up to be work at choker length as well.  I opted not to wear it at that length for this particular outfit because I felt it would pop more against a black (or dark) background–and I was right!  The earrings aren’t heavy, but they are bulk, and I broke out my trusty magic earring backers (they seriously work!!) to make sure they didn’t tip forward.  Definitely a pretty set to have on call!
