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.

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.

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?

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.

I have worn ankle-length to bottom-of-the-knee.

And I don't sit on the stool anymore. (I slide off, anyway: too short.)

Oh, sounds like the helicopter is moving away now. I suspect the drama is over.

I am in a decent (actually lovely little) neighborhood but it is next to the hood. In five years, this is only the second Crime! thing I can recall happening. Unfortunately the first was in December when billytea and DebetEsse were here and we saw the end of an armed robbery at one of the corner liquor stores about a mile from me. So I'm a little jumpy.

I am also hopelessly shallow because I am making dinner and I wanted a glass of wine with it. That I was going to walk to the corner market to get. Which seems, with the distant hum of roters, like a Bad Plan.

Back to the subject at hand, Kristin's choker collection should be supported vocally as she looks fantastic in them.
