Such a great accessory, that yellow bag.

Here is my D&G suit, with bling bling.
First photos were taken with skin coloured hold ups and 1 brooch too many.
The next photos are with "barely black" hold ups and 1 brooch less.
I really only wear this to the office and with a black top underneath it to hide the wrinkles in my cleavage.

If people ask me "are they real?"(you know what the Dutch are like...: very direct),
I always answer, "try to guess what is real and what is not". They are usually wrong haha.

Real or fake diamonds.

Less bling would be the proper thing to do, but I like the joke of it. Gives the suit a wink.

I am still in love with this suit. and I always will I would wear the darker holdups And leave the bling out all together. If it was me I would choose a pearl necklace, perhaps old-fashioned but then you would be the Gem in this oufit.

I had no idea what "hold ups" are but they must be your stockings. Both shades look nice. The suit is beautiful and fits you perfectly. You have a great figure and fabulous legs!
Brooches are the most "in" piece of jewelry right now and the more the better. So leave the long one where it is to close the jacket (it looks part of the suit) but cluster the other three together on one side. You might even be able to add one or two more. Try it and see if you like it. I saw it done at a local fashion show and it was stunning.
PS - I don't think the yellow bag goes with anything you own. You should probably box it up and send it to me. LOL!

My favorite Nordstrom stylist taught me all kinds of ways to wear brooches this season. The "clumping together" of many on a jacket or coat, adding one to a hat (this is a great way to update last year's model), pinning them onto the straps of shoes or a clutch. I am very excited about this as it is a nice way to add sparkle to a plain item. I can not wait to try this out for upcoming holiday parties! Such a clever idea.

I do not remember. I have not been a big fan in the past. I am an earring and ring girl. Now I like bracelets too. But brooches are fun and pretty and I have some from both my mother and grandmother so I am getting those out to try in different ways. Your black suit is the perfect outfit for this look.

Last Wednesday I got a present from my neighbour Anne, who lives a couple of doors own. She gave me the cameo brooch / pendant of her mother. "I never wear it and I know you can appreciate it", she said. Isn't that nice? Very hot too, cameos. And this is a lovely piece of work.

I know, it is an amazing gift. I have more friends who just give me things that take my breath away, like Marianne and Anja. Yep, I am a lucky girl. And I will post a photo soon, wearing it. When I was visiting Seeker's blog I saw her with a beautiful cameo pendant on a ribbon. Thought that was a good idea. Or perhaps a leather string. To make it more modern.
