[Poll #1047799]

I have realized that I approach jewelry-wearing as "oh, I am a female person working in an office. I should wear one piece of jewelry each day." Most of my jewelry is very simple, so it's not like it clashes with anything, but I do it as a pro forma thing rather than for any other reason. I wouldn't do it at all if my mother hadn't suggested it, and there is hope yet that her influence will fade.

I have pierced ears and a few pairs of earrings and a couple of necklaces, but almost never wear jewelry. I'm just not in the habit, I can't really afford it, and it's accessorizing, which is not my forte. That said, every so often I put on an outfit and think, "This would be perfect with the right necklace."

I think my rote attempt to wear a piece of jewelry every day has (perhaps temporarily) spoiled the possibility of an occasional, spontaneous, genuine "This would be perfect with the right necklace."
