Not going to lie, however, one of the reasons for joining the (? allegedly) largest service charity in the world is the opportunities to dress up and wear my nicer blings as they have many formal dinners. :lol-2:

Got one tomorrow for one of the clubs near me.

I need to do that. I'm stuck in the house teleworking most of the time and with an introvert husband with nerdy hobbies.
 
Wheeeeeeee

So you know how we take glamour shots of our gems?

Well hubby was trying to make me look less chubby (on my standing instructions) so there was absolutely no focus on the gem here but……. Look at the gem!!!!! Isn’t she glowy???

Squeeeeeeeee

Omg I love you, you noticed Da Grinch!!!! I am overdressed in ridiculous frufru dresses for most of the year until Christmas where I have a massive collection of Grinch and Pooh Bear t shirts that I wear almost everywhere from November onwards!

I front up to my son’s Saturday sports and the other parents actually get excited to see what Christmas print I’ve got going on that day.
 
Not me sitting here pouting because a) I don't go anywhere, b) no boobs, and
c) I don't have anything that you can see from a distance!

All of you look fabulous, whether it's at the gym or all fancied up!!!! :kiss2: And @mellowyellowgirl where do you always find these huuuuuge sparklies?!?!?!?

I had A-cup skeeters until I hit 30, and then boom... I passed right by B and went straight on to C. Depending on where you are in life, they may still sprout! But I like modest chebs anyway. Makes one look thinner!
 
Hahaha this thread cracks me up :lol-2:

In a foil to mellow’s amazing colourful outfits, here is what I live in… one of my many all-black attires or sports gear.

The first photo shows off the green jadeite bi discs really well! It’s not particularly watery but the colour is great

You're our urban goddess! You look amazing, I was a mess when my boys were little.
 
You folks haven’t seen me in winter. Seriously I’m so cold (cuz Australia is the COLDEST, most treacherous place in winter) that I’m permanently in cheap tracksuits that also serve as pyjamas. Oh and a puffer. But I have immaculate hair because of the wigs. So it’s just a bizarre sight overall.

@Pomelo the pinky rings are driving me wild! I’m gonna see how I can make it work for me!
 
@Autumn in New England @RRfromR thanks for the kind words!

@mellowyellowgirl the great thing about pinky rings is that it's such "good value" for finger real estate! I accidentally impulsively bought a stone cos I was rummaging through the 'bargain bin' loose stones that a jeweller had pulled out of used jewellery, and it's smaller than what I usually go for... so it'll be a pinky ring :D
 
Not a very clear pic as it was part of a group photo, however I was wearing:

Aquamarine oval drop earrings,
Aura Kyanite pendant,
Pink Sapphire flower cluster ring with LGD on my left hand.

Also my Ebel Beluga Manschette watch also on my left hand.

On my right hand, my 1.19ct EC ring, 1.94ct MRB diamond bangle, 5cttw tennis bracelet, and my Chopard Happy Hearts bracelet (my only branded jewellery item).

I like this top so much I bought it in at least 5 other colours (silver version in this pic)! :lol-2:

Loving my new pendant!!! I am loving this paper clip chain! Very comfortable and it’s a bit more interesting than what I’m used to.

You posing with your beloved labubus while simultaneously wearing all of this fabulous jewelry is... the most wholesome thing ever and it makes me smile. ❤️

You are glimmering, girl!
 
There was a reason why I was wearing the Aqua drops and not the slightly bigger Petalite ones which was my original plan, as I do not like wearing these two pair of earring drops with my glasses.

I managed to misplace one of the Petalite drops when I started to get ready for the event, wasted valuable time searching for it. :roll2:

I also had to look for a clothing item that I had planned to wear which I had also misplaced. :roll2:

In the end, I ran out of time to put on the full war paint job on my face. :roll2:

When I got back from the event, I searched for the missing drop, and was able to find it, woo hoo! :lol-2: It must have popped out of my small travel jewellery pouch when I was preparing for another trip or event.

Here are my two pairs of drops that I had made to wear with my tiny huggies; Aquas from I&R, and Petalites from AJS when they decided to cease trading:

Here are the ear shots, freshly modelled after a haircut:

You look beautiful!!!
 
You all have such glam lives :) I'm in the office today, not wearing a jacket (shh, day before Thanksgiving so not a lot of people around). I'm wearing an antique 15k bracelet with tiny rubies. 20251126_112520.jpg20251126_112510.jpg

I don’t know whether I’d jump at the food or Severus!
