They say brilliance comes from within, but what if some mornings we just need some outside help?
Because there are days when you don't want to think about shining, just look like you do. And that's where the discreet magic that only the right earrings, the right light, and a little bit of gold-plated self-esteem can bring comes in.
The other day, without any plan or reason, I decided to put on makeup, my favorite shirt, and the small earrings that always make me feel “put together,” even though my life isn’t so much.
I wasn't going anywhere. Just to the supermarket. But something changed: the kids at the grocery store smiled differently, and even the playlist in the yogurt aisle sounded better.
And I thought:
Maybe the brightness has nothing to do with the day of the week.
Maybe it's not Friday that makes us feel alive, but the way we look at ourselves in the mirror when we put on those jewels that remind us of who we are when no one else is looking.
Ultimately, jewelry isn't meant to make you look better. It's meant to remind you of how much you're already worth.
So here's my mid-month tip:
Put on that ring you save for “special occasions.”
Go out wearing your favorite earrings on any given Tuesday.
And it shines, even if it's not Friday.
