Thanks for the nice question Holly. I really chose “other” since for me it’s all of the above. I have lots of different kinds of jewelry and just select things that I think will go with an outfit. I try them on and look in the mirror and if I think that it’s right, I wear it. There is usually one final approval that I look for and that is from my wife who may say “great, or nope, it clashes” and I will consider taking her advice but may still choose to do my own thing. She is more conservative in her personal dressing but as a dancer she was avaunt guard. I will also modify and create pieces for my outfit. Typically I will spray paint or nail polish buckles and earrings to get the color or effect that I want or, add extra pieces onto jewelry if I want a bigger presentation. Incidentally, many of my chains have had the clasp removed and replaced with a super strong magnetic clasp that I added. This makes dressing easy and fast and you can buy a bag of magnetic clasps and a jeweler’s pliers from Joann’s for a few $. It’s not unusual that people comment on my jewelry but now you know it’s just my style of homemade fakery fun. May the sparkle be with you. Marg
