Eeep! Scary, Cass! I used to live next door to a crack dealer; I felt like I was an extra on COPS.
Keep us posted.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The status is NOT quo.
I luvre my chocker collection. I think a lot of it has to do with my height--I don't think I pull off long necklaces very well, and shorter necklaces don't tend to fall right on me.
ETA: Holy crap! Cassie, honey, please be careful.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Cass, I'm very sorry that I brought the crime into your life. Wait. I'm now choosing to blame billytea.
I like chokers, but, on me, only when worn pretty high. And simpler is better. I tend to find ornate jewelry overwhelming, most of the time (once again, on me. On other people, I'm fan). This may be why I only wear a watch, most of the time...

How tall are you? I'm 5'4" (almost) but I'm a big girl; I can pull off chunky necklaces and huge earrings.
D'you know, I'm having a problem with my work wardrobe, because I have almost ALL v-necks, and I have no "this is too low-cut" filter; my copp teacher today said I looked nice today, and I should wear more slacks, because they are so practical for teaching...but these are my ONLY pair of non-jean slacks! I have almost all skirts! I was sitting on a stool, talking, yesterday, and I think some boys in last hour were trying to look up my (knee-length, erfectly modest) skirt. I just stood up and didn't mention it.
I thought skirts were sweetly old-fashioned! Am I wrong?
EDIT
Debet, I can wear enough jewelry to strangle a moose...but watches make me bugshit.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I need to get me a nice choker. I love them, yet have none.
Cass! What did you DO?

Erin, I am just over 5' and somewhat scrawny.
Edit: Case in point, I cannot find a watch that fits.

The metal one that you had on at the F2F looked great.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Me too. Generally, my jewelry is a watch and sometimes a mezuzah necklace. I always think that I should wear jewelry more often, because I've got a bunch of nice things, but I usually forget when I'm actually getting dressed.

So you need delicate, Kristin. I have a few delicate pieces, but I go for color, and an organic or vintage look. *sigh* I bought myself a pearl choker to celebrate my first MA...but it doesn't look good on me. But I love the way it feels. I used to just wear it around the house.
EDIT
Hil, what's a mezzuzah? is it the Star of David?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It depends very much on the skirt. My college roommate lived in skirts, but hers were all very long, so the sight-line issue was not so much an issue. But the practicality can become an issue.
