OMG that rose is atrocious. You did indeed look so much better and more tasteful. I suppose it's that I tend to wear fairly solid-color, simple dresses, so am used to accessorizing. Also, I have inherited jewelry I don't get enough chances to wear, given my unfortunate lack of living female ancestors.

I also have to figure out my feelings about wearing the necklace traditionally given to my family's eldest daughter on her 40th birthday, which I have because, well, there's no one else to wear it, but which I've only worn once, for my wedding.
