Thank you for sharing:heart: I just bought a simple silver bangle to try if I can handle the bangles :biggrin: I am afraid that I won’t wear my 5 motifs after purchasing a bangle (I remember some TPF’ers mentioned this) so I was wondering if I could stack them or go crazy with tinkling lol (I suffer from light OCD). Also, if I won’t be able to stack them I might just purchase the WG version instead of YG as diamonds on WG looks amazing

I look at my 5 motifs and the bangles as different categories of bracelets. I will go through phases when I'm wearing bangles a lot. Then I'll get bored and then wear 5 motifs a lot. But I love my 5 motifs so I won't ever not wear them. I guess I'm saying that this bangle does not take away from my 5 motifs. But I do think I'm done with VCA bangles. (Don't hold me to that. Just my feeling right now.) One thing I noticed about this WG diamond perlee. It is a white looking bangle. I'm a person that loves high color diamonds (think D-E) and this bangle is almost too white. It just looks white next to anything. The WG on my 5 motifs look almost dull next to this bangle. It's kinda weird. But ok, whatever. I'll live with it.:cool:

Tried this on today.. still thinking if to shorten it.. likely i will..

The pave flipside looks like snowflakes to me.. reminds me of Frozen/ with the black onyx, gives me evil queen vibes lol. I thought it would annoy me, the flipside i mean. But i am actually finding it nice as like another design . Although it is not as sparkly.. pics doesnt do this piece justice

LOL yes i feel this way too, VCA perlee pieces are very white.. esp the bangles. Its harder to integrate with other brands of white gold. I also figured i am not a bangles girl.. at least for now..

Sharing some looks from the past week.
- Perlee transforming necklace on an all-black outfit. Not really obvious but also wearing the perlee diamond 3 row and perlee YG 5 row. The green croc bag is not mine, was just posing with it at the brand event. :biggrin:
- Simple Magic malachite pendant on a non-VCA chain.
- Wore my new TE 10 motif for the first time, on an extender. Loved the whole vintage feel of it!

@chiaoapple I am once again fangirling your outfits!!! :hbeat: I LOVE what you wear and how you put it together. I don’t want to annoy you and ask for deets for every photo, but…I wouldn’t be upset if you did! (I do know the RV Viv Skate with the crystals but OMG that black outfit! And the Blue/Green jacket!!!) :graucho::graucho::graucho:

I could probably handle it for a day. But the movement and tinkling make me paranoid of scratches. Aside from that, given it’s a tight 5 motif, there is relatively little tangling, only some crossing over/under. I might be able to get accustomed to ONE 5 motif with this bangle. LOL! Though after moving it around some, one of the biggest factors is sizing matters. My bangle is small enough that it doesn’t go as far down my arm as the 5 motif. So the bangle pretty much stays above the 5 motif.

Love all these photos
Ironically I have that exact combo bag that I special ordered last year and it arrived for Christmas
How fun to see it’s sister tried on you!
These little exotic candies are so special
You wear all your VCA so well

Oh congrats on your bag! It really is a beautiful one. I have just been much more into jewellery/ clothes than bags lately, or otherwise I would have jumped on it.
And thank you for the kind words :smile:

I feel super, super flattered!!! Thank you for being interested :heart:
The all black outfit — top is LV, a fairly new purchase from last month. Skirt is an online shopping find, just around 50 usd! Also purchased it in light beige version. So versatile plus it has pockets!
Blue / green cardigan - it’s from Jill by Jill Stuart, and is probably around 10 years old. I do love it too

First a hastily taken photo of perlee diamond 3 row with YG signature, Cartier Love pave pendant also in YG. @Notorious Pink speaking of outfits, I think you have this dress as well? I spied it on you some time ago in the rtw thread and am so happy we are twins :biggrin: (I wore it with the ribbon threaded through the tweed loop instead of as a bow, which just didn’t sit right on me.)

Then it’s TE Bunny‘s first outing! Picked her up yesterday, after comparing with the new mahogany obsidian version I found I was more drawn to the TE. @AKCHL I think we are bunny twins? And @ThisVNchick thanks for being such a big cheerleader of the TE!

Bunny is absolutely adorable and I totally prefer the TE version. Im also eyeing your Love pendant. The design is so simple but striking and I imagine goes with everything!

Hello DR2014 - yes! :heart:
I don’t tolerate choker - it irritates me a bit hence I use a 5 inch extender and VCA added 2 inches to all my necklaces ! :heart:
Click to expand...
Well I am convinced I need a 10 motif necklace now. I also hate chokers! Thanks for your help! :drinks:

I guess I should get rose gold to match my bracelet. I have just the one bracelet...
