Would you wear bright pink jeans? (And don't forget the necklace giveaway!)

I would! When I was thinking about this post, I remembered that I used to wear a lot of different colored pants. Coral, turquoise, green, red and lavender. Back in the early 90's, Dockers made a lot of different colored pants that had color coordinated tees and shirts. I bought a heap of them and wore them proudly.

With all the colored jeans now available, I debated about getting these hot pink colored skinny jeans. Lane Bryant had a big everything 40% off sale recently so it seemed like an opportune time to give them a try. I was quite surprised to find out how many things I have that they can be easily worn with. These jeans don't  fit as well as NYDJ, but they are a whole lot less expensive.  To be honest, I didn't wear this today as I did not get out of the house. However, I had planned to wear it this week, so I decided to put it on and take some pics. The jacket has little hot pink tweed flecks, so it does look good with the jeans.

  I am wearing another of my Elizabeth Taylor for Avon pieces. The necklace is the Forever Violet from 1994. It originally retailed for $98.00.  I also took a picture of another piece I have, the Katherina Maltese Cross Pendant, which can be worn as a pin or pendant.

Elizabeth Taylor for Avon

Last night I found the original box for the necklace that I have that is like the one I have in the Giveaway. I thought I would put a bit more information about it here. Elizabeth Taylor for Avon was very high quality costume jewelry. For those of you who might have seen other Avon jewelry, there is no comparison. There were several designers who created lines for Avon including Kenneth Jay Lane and Jose Maria Barberra.

The insert in the box says:
"Hammered medallions plated with 22 karat gold, are artfully linked to form a necklace.. All are lightly antiqued and, as in the case with authentic treasure coins, there are slight variations in color."

This piece is featured in the book "Identifying Avon jewelry" by Sandra Sturdivant. This book values it at $150.00, although I have found it for sale ranging from $50.00 and up.  It is a very collectible piece and will no doubt continue to grow in value. Please go to my Giveaway post to leave a comment for your chance to win this beautiful necklace.
