Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-140559 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 21:19:12 +0000 Louise 140559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping for Angie.<br /> 2 weeks on and i still haven't decided what to do with this so haven't yet worn it Angie HELP x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136984 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:04:08 +0000 Louise 136984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dawn i too am thinking this is the way to go, then at least if i fancy being a bit chavy i can wear all 3 together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136812 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:25:22 +0000 Dawn 136812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, Louise, but I would take the top two chains off the necklace and perhaps make a separate chain from the heart and bird chains. </p> <p>We Irish have an equivalent for chavs- they are often called 'scobes', 'knackers', 'shams' or 'skangers' (depending on what part of Ireland you are from). Isn't the English language and its variations and evolution so interesting? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136760 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 17:09:50 +0000 Maya 136760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love ebay. I'm currently on there trawling for a polkadot dress. Now how to go about filtering the 2,000 results. Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136758 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 17:04:38 +0000 Louise 136758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't Ebay great? It's my first port of call for practically everthing! I've trawled the shops looking for a turquoise and white necklace and found both on ebay for 1/2 the price of the shop ones and they are both unique i love the thought no one else will have one the same x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136756 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 16:48:43 +0000 Maya 136756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, I was looking for a vintage cameo a few months ago and found a bunch on ebay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136588 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:49:08 +0000 Queen Mum 136588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so I described "chav" to my son and asked what our term is and he said...."Well, it really depends on alot of factors... race for one, and how low they wear their pants" LOL Apparently labeling kids is a science here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136583 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:31:01 +0000 medusa 136583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, I like it. It's a different look than just the cameo by itself, definitely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136568 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:52:24 +0000 Louise 136568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Debora i'll keep my eyes peeled x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136565 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:46:51 +0000 Debora 136565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, have you tried the vintage shops? I'm pretty sure that's where she found hers. Wait, maybe it was at a flea market. I know I've seen some pretty nice ones in the vintage shops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136563 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:44:22 +0000 Louise 136563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debora I LOVE DD's cameo my hunt started by looking for a chunky one like that. Tam we have the term bling here in the UK, meaning lots of shiny jewellery x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136334 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:02:01 +0000 yublocka 136334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would a US equiv be bling? Or is it a noun rather than a verb? hehe</p> <p>Aussie equivalent of hillbillies/rednecks = bogan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136272 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:34:42 +0000 Maya 136272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think there really is a US equivalent of chavs, just like there is no UK equivalent of hillbillies/rednecks...</p> <p>That said, I don't think I can judge whether or not it looks chavvy, as I am not familiar with that realm...but I sort of feel like the cameo doesn't fit with the other two. I like the little airplane and the other charm on one necklace as they seem more cohesive, but the cameo just seems like a different necklace all together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136269 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:24:28 +0000 Debora 136269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Louise! I love learning slang from other countries! I'm going to spring the words on my kids, and then look at them like they are daft when they don't understand what I'm saying! Your necklace is so unique! Can you wear the cameo both ways depending on what mood you are in? My DD has a cameo that she wears by itself. Here's hers:</p> <p><a href="http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu303/debora517/Deborasdaughter.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i658.photobucket.com/al.....ughter.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136262 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:12:49 +0000 yublocka 136262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise I'm late to the party, but I really like the look of this from far away. From close up it does look a bit....I dunno "chavvy" hehe love the new word, but who ever looks at things that closely except you. I say keep!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-136015 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:47:03 +0000 Louise 136015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow what a difference of opinions! I might keep as is and see what Angie thinks when she gets back, thanks for the input all x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135935 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:42:30 +0000 bella 135935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may be the outlier but I prefer it as it is. Thanks for adding a new word to my vocabulary!;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135866 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 01:28:02 +0000 Tricia 135866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like the cameo by itself best, but it doesn't look terrible with the three chains.</p> <p>When I saw the illustration on the wikipedia entry for "chav" it reminded me of what we used to call "Massholes" when I lived in Boston. (Contraction of Massachusetts + asshole, for the non-US YLFers.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135849 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:20:45 +0000 Kristine 135849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's really pretty, especially against a fairly simple shirt like you're wearing it. It's delicate and the chains match, so I think it works. It would be very nice with just the cameo also though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135842 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:46:49 +0000 Dusty 135842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like all three together, but I think the cameo by itself would be pretty spiffy. I think you could probably remove the other two and make them all wearable separately (you'd probably need to drop into a craft store and grab a couple of lobster claws, some jump rings and a little extra chain to make clasps for the two "new" necklaces, but it'd be pretty easy to do) and then you could still wear them all together sometimes, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135841 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:44:06 +0000 chellebrate 135841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the picture from the store. I didn't notice the bird and thought the smallest strand was a chain only. With all three pendants it seems a bit busy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135828 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:25:12 +0000 Louise 135828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehehe no i didn't sneeze on it "the postman delivered it by mistake and there was no return address!!!!"<br /> Naff means rubbish, silly, etc part of me loves it with all the chains part of me thinks i should stick with my original idea and take the 2 chains off and just keep the cameo x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135823 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:09:26 +0000 Isabel 135823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, I have no idea what "naffy" means, but if it translates into FABULOUSITY, I soooo agree. I love this look. I don't think that I have ever seen it. I may try it myself.<br /> ( did you sneeze on it and get a discount ? ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135809 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:45:26 +0000 Louise 135809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes i got a small one from ebay, i spent most of last sunday afternoon trawling ebay!! I spotted it while looking for turquoise jewellery and it bacame a bit of an obsession!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135808 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:42:29 +0000 Anonymous 135808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering what chavvy meant and it was good of you to explan right up front.<br /> I like all the necklaces together, but they would be nice apart too.<br /> I guess I wouldn't really put on all three of the necklaces at one time myself. If you bought the necklace with your eye on the one cameo, you should probably follow your instinct and wear just the one at a time.<br /> I also have a thing for cameos. Have you looked on Ebay for them Louise? I ended up with a small collection, starting with when I met Ana, Sarah, and Patience in Texas for tea and lunch, and a little shopping. I bought my first cameo there, then I was hooked and I bought several more on Ebay.<br /> Actually my first cameo was a beautiful cameo button sewn onto a school dance dress for me in high school. I still have it in my jewelry box.<br /> I will take a picture of my collection for you other cameo lovers.<br /> Louise how many cameos do you have now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135804 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:36:12 +0000 marianna 135804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That *is* a tough call! I don't mind all three chains, but it may look more elegant with just the one cameo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135803 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:35:57 +0000 Queen Mum 135803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha- thanks for the translation for us foreigners.</p> <p>that sounds like what we call a ganster (or my son would say gangstah) or my kids might refer to them as 'wannabes"</p> <p>you know Louise, I have to say I'm not crazy about the neckace. I looked at it before I read your comments and I thought you had 3 necklaces on. They all seem to distract from eachother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-look-naff#post-135799 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:31:18 +0000 Louise 135799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehehe thanks for the link i deleted the passage where i was trying to describe a chav!<br /> Edit for the non UKers stereotypically chavs wear rings on every finger and lots of chains hence the possible comparison!! x </p>
