@DS2006 May I ask a clarifying question? You wrote above “Do you have the special order white gold long Magic pendant? I recently bought the short one, but I so wish they'd make that piece in the long version.”

I’ve seen a few references to a “short” Magic pendant on this forum - is it just a Magic on a short chain (not doubled up), or is there another option? Thanks!
Ah, thank you! Good to know, since I prefer the non-attached pendants. Will stick to doubling or perhaps purchasing a shorter chain.

I bought the short one in white gold because I have the mop bracelet in wg and the long Magic pendant only comes in yg, unfortunately! I also prefer pendants that can move on the chain.
 
Yes, good memory! I keep meaning to take pics and post about it but living that postpartum life and just haven’t found the time!
I hope you can enjoy wearing the clover once things settle down. I remember wearing mine with yoga pants and stretchy dresses for first few months. Made me feel a bit more put together regardless how I actually looked.

Thank you for telling me this! If I remember correctly yours was a push present for your third?

I honestly have been feeling a little psyched out by my postpartum wardrobe and not looking like myself, that it’s making me second guess the bracelet. I imagine myself wearing it with so many outfits, none which fit now. I know this is temporary, it’s just hard in the moment to believe I’ll fit into my old outfits ever again!

Yea good memory too.
Give yourself a break and some time! I never bought pregnancy clothes but with all 3 I bought some new clothes post baby that were loose (maxi dresses, stretchy knits) to wear in interim and after. It always helped me feel more like me again and gave me something to go out in that wasn’t yoga pants while I could not fit into regular clothes. Make sure you take some ‘me’ time!

Thank you! I know that’s the best advice. I did buy some new things to feel good about wearing but then made the epic mistake of trying on some shirts I already had and of course they just need more time.

This is why a handbag and jewelry obsession is really the best. They always fit. ;-)

Not to hijack the thread but I also had a baby not too long ago and my god the jeans. Will they ever fit me again? Lol.

that’s why jewelry and bags are the best. I totally agree with you.
 
I love the blue agate on you... it pops! Blue agate is such a neon blue stone, so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much @BigAkoya, I tried it for fun (I was collecting my TE earrings from loosening) and just to see the shade but it was an easy pass. I really understood I love 20 motif concept the most and would rather wait than grab this one and not regret it maybe but keep thinking about another piece!
I will pay out my TE 20 first and then focus on finding a BA 20 which will take my breath away :heart:

I am with you on the 20s! I love love love 20s and also matching earrings as you do. I think it's the perfect look.
Congrats on your new earrings and soon-to-be 20.

I don't wear pendants, but I think you do. One look I love is VA earrings, the VA short pendant (worn over skin, not clothes, so a V-neck), and then the 20. I am in love with that look. Some might think it's over the top, but I love it. I would do that in a heartbeat if I wore pendants. Maybe see if you like it; you might think it's over the top.

Here is the look. The photo appears to be a WG MOP 20 and the rest pave. I have a WG MOP set, so I wear the earrings, 20, and two 5s. All I'm missing is the pendant! :biggrin: :heart:

I really really love how the pendant lays on her, right at the bottom of the hollow of her neck; the perfect placement to highlight that area.

Going for a predominately gold and black look, adding the magic pendant to the 10 motif To help fill the V neckline.

You are always so creative how you wear your pieces, and this set is another example.
I love your Love too. I am very much not a Cartier gal, but the pave Love is one piece I really like.
Your pave Love is gorgeous.

Thanks for sharing.
