Reader question: Please explain this sentence – The trick to wearing jewelry is to not go over the top. My comments: Jewelry makes you look better. But it's important not to wear too much of it at the same time. Necklace, for instance, looks beautiful on the neck - or at least on some people’s necks. But wearing two of them together? Probably not. Like I said, jewelry makes some people look better, that’s why some people wear them. But too much of it may make you look, well, like the wife of rich coalminer from Shanxi Province. Sorry to be poking fun at rich coalminers from Shanxi Province, but I think they, of all people, can afford it. Anyways, the thing to learn here is “not to go over the top”, i.e. don’t be excessive. In other words, just the right amount of showy stuff works. Too much of it may backfire. Speaking of jewelries, I may add a personal observation while we’re at it and that is many naturally good looking women often don’t wear heavy jewelry or fancy clothes. Why? The reason is they are aware of their natural beauty and wouldn’t mind to show it. Therefore, they dress plainly so that all the attention will be on their person. Fancy clothing and jewelry on the other hand may become a distraction. It is one thing for example to hear people compliment: “Your eyes are beautiful.” It is quite another to hear them say: “Your eyes beautiful. Your artificial eye lashes, I mean.” |
