Curious…when
it comes to wearing black and white, are you a purist and strictly keep it to
black and white or are you a “step out of the box” kind of gal? The spectator
look, as it came to be called in the 30s and 40s, always looks sharp to me. And
for those of you who are thinking that I am really old…no, I wasn’t around in
the 30s and while I was here in the late 40s I was way too young to be paying
attention to fashion yet. So, yes, I am old…just not that old yet! However, I
love watching classic movies from that time – mostly for the jewelry and the
fashion. The tailoring and the fit was always superb in the clothes and the
jewelry…well, there simply aren’t words.

One Bracelet -- Five Looks in Black & Brown
A
long time favorite of mine – the combo of brown and black. I know…for years we
were told not to mix the two; but, I still say, rules be damned. It doesn’t really
matter does it? If you like it and it makes you feel good you should wear it,
right? When I first found a variety of these gorgeous works of Mother Nature in
Tucson many, many, many moons ago, I was immediately drawn to them. Not only
are the mother-of-pearl beads lovely to look at – they are so smooth and cool
that I think they make great touchstones.
