Wore one last night. Heavy Hot. Clanky. Irritating.

Plus you can't wear earrings with them IMO.
It's like a bloody neck iron.

I'm banning them. swishes wand

God yes Lorraine Kelly she of the short sleeved jacket and beige sorry nude shoes

PhantomTollbooth · 13/07/2014 17:37

Noddy and she has managed to turn yellow from a high fashion choice into Simple Be boring with her recent style 'decisions'

I can't bear necklaces. I'm all about the bracelet

noddyholder · 13/07/2014 17:43

She is the queen of the pop of colour. I love bracelets too and rings just only ever like one piece at a time. I always say take off some of the bling and add another coat of mascara

You don't need to to be aware of her though. I don't but she is everywhere

PhantomTollbooth · 13/07/2014 17:48

Yes she is everywhere. Unless you chuck your TV out the window and avoid all newsagents, you'll run into her.

GretchenWiener · 13/07/2014 18:30

I've always hated the word statement necklace. However, I have chunky necklaces I have had for years and were gifts. My favourite ones are turquoise and silver beads hand made bought in a market in Istanbul and a Mexican silver and malachite one from the 1970's. I'll still be wearing them in 10 years time.

I thought we were going to have a run on ethnic jewellery after the Yves Saint Laurent bio-film. But it hasn't happened.

I like Cos jewellery but can't quite face paying lots of money for a pice of nylon thread and a felt cube: minimalism a bit too far.

I discovered a new jewellery hazard the other day: I went out in a silver necklace and it drew the sun down to my neck and burned me!! I didn't even know this was possible. Shock

WildBillfemale · 13/07/2014 18:50

They all look a bit M&S 'per una' to me

dexter73 · 13/07/2014 18:53

thecatfromjapan - have you ever had the blast of hot air from the oven heating up your necklace and burning you? So painful!

thecatfromjapan · 13/07/2014 18:53

Does Lorraine Kelly do statement necklaces? What kind?

thecatfromjapan · 13/07/2014 18:54

dexter75 - yes!!!!! And that was last week, too! Last week was clearly a week of a lot of bad firsts.

It really, really hurt.

Trills · 13/07/2014 18:55

Not being able to wear earrings is the biggest problem for me.

I don't like the look of naked ear holes at all.

PhantomTollbooth · 13/07/2014 18:59

i am always burning my wrists with the heat from the hob as I stir things

I am more of a bangle person, and a chunky earring.

I do have a couple of lovely necklaces but they tend to the pendant side of things.

noddyholder · 13/07/2014 19:10

I love big yeah but no but hoops

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/07/2014 19:11

I love bangles/bracelets - either armloads of silver and leather ones, or one big cuff. I have nice wrists, so like drawing attention to them - and don't generally want to draw attention to norks with big necklaces.

noddyholder · 13/07/2014 19:14

Small delicate ok with boobs but chunky and colourful a bit brash

lurkingaround · 13/07/2014 19:22

Lorraine Kelly queen of Pop of Colour. Grin Even 8 year old DD goes all 'TAKE IT OFF' if I do the 'splash of colour' thing, as she calls it.

Not keen on earring hoops. I like lots of bangles on people. Feels all wrong on me.

GretchenWiener · 13/07/2014 19:27

Love hoops. It's the gypsy jn me
