shopping at Sundance

I got the Sundance catalogue yesterday. I am assuming it is designed to inspire those with mothers to purchase jewelry for Mother's Day. I abhor Mother's day but I don't mind browsing in a jewelry catalogue. I am far too easily intimidated to browse at a jewelry store, so this is perfect.
I thought we could look at some things together...




I like the necklace on this page very much. I'm always drawn to beach glass colors and this necklace is beachy with gold, which is unusual. It would look nice with the ring I wear in the summer.



I like this necklace too - it's a diamond briolet. I don't know what a briolet is, but I think the necklace is delicate and pretty - and I like the idea of diamonds in unusual shapes and settings. Unless briolet means synthetic. I don't want to pay a lot for a synthetic diamond. I don't think. Okay, maybe I'd pay a lot for a great big emerald cut synthetic diamond ring. Wait. I don't know if I would. ONWARD.



Yet another pretty blue and gold necklace. By the time I get through the entire catalogue I can talk myself out of all of it.



Wouldn't this be nice to throw on over everything all summer long? Cashmere itches me. And not just my neck. But it's pretty.

Do you know what DOES make my neck itch? What shits me to tears?



Women who wear peace sign jewelry. With a fur coat. At Whole Foods.
I sort of feel like the time for peace sign jewelry has come and gone.
But I do, sometimes, find myself drawn to trendy jewelry...



This necklace, on a leather cord, can be customized with initials or a favorite number. I have both and think this is a nice present.



I've given these bracelets to a bunch of different people...they are inexpensive and very pretty in real life.

Can you guess what I like best on this page?



The rock.

If you aren't in the mood for jewels, I think this is a great white cotton blouse.



I could use a white cotton blouse - do you think this one looks like it might be see-through? I hate that.

Nice belt -



AND it goes with whatever I'm wearing - silver OR gold. I need it to be large-ish as I'd like to belt a couple of tunics with it and wear it low on my hips.



I could easily be talked into this bag too...I don't have a brown handbag and this one is not huge (why are all my bags either huge or tiny?)and looks squishy and nice. Those are two of my favorite things, the squishy and nice.



These are pretty too.

So, there you are - IF you purchase gifts for a mom on Mother's Day (which I STILL hate) I've given you a bunch of ideas.



Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to vote for Middle AGAIN. And you can too.
