My Mother once told me, “What’s the point of having nice jewelry if you don’t wear it?”
This is just one of my mother’s golden nuggets of advice, but one that I truly take to heart and so should you.
It’s NEVER too nice to wear. And by it, I mean jewelry, shoes and clothes.

Here is a good example; I know a guy who has impeccable taste in clothes and his closet full of Gucci, Prada and Dolce & Gabana. But he doesn’t wear half of it. Why? Because he is afraid it will get ruined.
That fear keeps his clothes safe in his bedroom where only he (and sometimes me) can go in and stare at its beauty…such a waste of fine fashion.

It is understandable; all of us have had a favorite piece ruined in our lives. Some have fallen victim cigarette burns, an exploding pen or maybe even the dreaded full glass of red wine. But what’s the point of having something nice (which you spend a lot of cash on) only to have it sit in the dark, cold corners of your closet.

Now I’m not saying you should rock a Gucci shirt to the gym, or wear your Grandmother’s antique Sapphire necklace to Trader Joes, but don’t be afraid to wear your nice things if the event calls for it.

Please, don’t hide your Burberry suit in the closet. Take those Louboutins out of the shoebox. Fabulous things should be shared with the world!!!!
Just maybe drink white wine while wearing them.
