Why Did You Wear That: Put a Ring (or Two) On It

By |February 12th, 2013|Why Did You Wear That?|

They say there is no such thing as too much of a good thing… and while that may be debatable in some instances like cologne, when it comes to jewelry, I simply must agree.  Beyonce told us, if you like, you should put a ring on it… and really, who’s going to argue with Beyonce?  So my thinking is the more you like it, the more rings you should put on it, right?  Right.  So, I have taken to stacking several rings on my right ring finger and as of late it would appear that one ring is just not enough for us, ladies.

above the knuckle ringsWe are doubling, tripling, and quadrupling the rings on our fingers from index to pinky to knuckle.  One especially popular place to put a ring is right above the knuckle in delicate bands.  Many jewelry designers are making this trend quite simple by crafting offerings with multiple pieces so you can let everyone know just how much you like it.  And by “it,” I mean you.

The only holiday that may be more difficult than Christmas to navigate regarding gift giving is Valentine’s Day.  I feel as if Valentine’s Day is almost like some type of booby trap that we, as women, created to find out just how our men feel about us.  For instance, last year, I didn’t get a dang thing from my then fiance.  Not so much as a card.  That’s basically how I knew it was over.   It’s kind of like when our boos ask, “What’s wrong?” and we reply with, “Nothing,” throwing down the gauntlet that he better figure out what’s wrong.  A Valentine’s Day gift is essentially the same thing.  You hand me a bunch of Gerber daisies or a faux velvet box of drugstore chocolates and I’m going to hand you the phone to call a cab.  And to throw an even bigger curveball to our man friends, there’s that whole level of sexual appropriateness.  Three weeks in and you gift me furry handcuffs? Eh.  A year and a half in and you present me with a coffee table book?  Double eh.  Basically, guys are screwed, so why not just do them a solid and leave this page open on their browsers?  Not like I’ve never done that at an Apple store.  And if you’re unattached (much like myself), get yourself something extra special to celebrate YOU or get together with gal pals and do a sexy gift exchange.  At least you know you’ll get something you like.

Is it hot in here?
