Irina, you know, you might be onto something with the weather. The weather for our entire stay in Europe lingered in the mid 60s (16-18C), which was PERFECT for me. I love being able to be out moving around without feeling overheated. The day after we got home, the high in LA was 87 (30C) and I'm just not ready to deal with that.
Carol, I actually brought just two necklaces on my trip, along with an an armful of bracelets (which I wore everyday) and that was great, but I did find myself staring longingly at a chunkier pendant I saw on a woman a few tables down from us at a restaurant.
JenniNZ, I think it absolutely relates to what I wrote in that thread! I really think I overbalanced with too many statement pieces and I'm currently not feeling keen on just wearing them all together. Come to think of it, though, I was looking into a closet devoid of most of my essentials, since they were being laundered. Maybe I was missing that practical element.
Perhaps what I can do is start rotating through my statement pieces. I found it fun to have only the three real statements (in Finds) with me in my travel capsule and liked the way I could use them judiciously to change things up. Choosing different statements to "feature" for a period of time could evoke that feeling of settling into my clothes and using them to their full range of possibilities.
