The necklace is very delicate, which I wanted since I often wear larger earrings and I didn't want them to compete.<br /> Joy, that's a great idea. I'm not very supernaturally inclined, but I would almost swear the birds have been checking on me lately :)<br /> Thanks all you lovely people ... Never doubt the tremendous impact of your kind words xoxox </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-my-not-list---how-did-i-do#post-2045330 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 06:36:19 +0000 Jaime 2045330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done I'd say!

You have overcome some serious stuff. I love the bird necklace. My mother also loved birds and felt that they talked to her. I donate to bird advocates like the Audubon Society and Cornell university in her honor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-my-not-list---how-did-i-do#post-2045108 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 20:40:53 +0000 Sal 2045108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As my son would say... “Shot TG!”</p> <p>Great work during a tough year - and do get the lovely necklace - it will give you joy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-my-not-list---how-did-i-do#post-2045100 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 20:12:17 +0000 Anonymous 2045100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing w all!

I regularly forget what I’m about, so I admire this.</p> <p>The necklace is very tasteful. You could wear it every day. Also: I’m not happy with Tiffany. The quality is not there anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-my-not-list---how-did-i-do#post-2045046 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 18:26:56 +0000 Katerina 2045046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also remember that post, Helena.

Buying a special piece of jewellery to remember your Mum is a great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-my-not-list---how-did-i-do#post-2044903 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 13:28:23 +0000 Helena 2044903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi friends, some of you may recall <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fun---my-2019-not-list">my "not" list</a> from early in the year, in which I declared I would be setting my fashion neuroses aside and charting a path towards less self-doubt and more self-confidence! Dream big!</p> <p>How did I do? <p><i>1. Helena, THOU SHALT NOT say you don't know, or are unsure of, your style.</i> YES! I think I did this one. I don't feel like I've questioned my style very much at all this year, at least not at a macro-directional level.</p> <p><i>2. Helena, THOU SHALT NOT say you don't know your color palette.</i> Mission accomplished. I've focused on cool colours and put aside splitting hairs beyond that. Yay!</p> <p><i>3. Helena, THOU SHALT NOT throw your hands up in despair and decide style is impossible because of the weather.</i>&nbsp;I *think* I achieved this - yes, the weather this year has been sucky. Yes, there were days when I just dressed for the weather. BUT I don't think I worried about it - I think I took it rather in stride and just did my best.</p> <p><i>4. Helena, THOU SHALT NOT decide you're a complete style failure because you have a week or two where it goes down the toilet.</i> Check. Too many bigger things to worry about this year. Perspective is everything.</p> <p><i>5. Helena, THOU SHALT NOT gaze at the navel, wring thy hands, or shed thy tears because you have a normal period of self-doubt or self-questioning</i>. Another one where I *think* I did it. No spiraling this year that I recall!</p> <p>Some of you know me well enough to call me out if I am deluding myself (and I am willing to hear it!) - but I think I stuck to my list. I had initially planned to splurge on a Tiffany necklace to celebrate. But given recent circumstances, I've changed my mind. My mom loved birds and I spotted this necklace by a local designer known for quite good quality silver pieces (and extremely reasonable which is a bonus). I wanted to get some sort of 'memory' necklace that I could wear every day, and I think this might fit the bill nicely - what do you think?&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.citrussilver.com/product/come-fly-with-me-necklace/">https://www.citrussilver.com/p.....-necklace/</a></p> <p>Thanks for reading :D</p> <p>xx Helena</p> <p> </p>
