I couldn't wear these because they wouldn't fit in my ears, and I didn't want to risk blood by forcing them. That's a me problem though. As to the earrings themselves, they are very pretty, but I will say I would have preferred them without the rhinestones, which aren't very bright and kind of take away from the impact of the black marble effect. I was looking more for the impact of the black and gold, and just didn't feel like I got it.

I didn't wear it because the earrings I rented to match didn't work, but it was beautiful and I was definitely sad not to be able to! The bracelet has a nice heft and looks sleek and gorgeous.

This dress was my backup style for another that didn't work out. I usually go for a sleeker, more minimalist style, so I didn't know if I would even like it, but my husband's eyes lit up when I put it on, and he told me to go look in the mirror. The color is a beautiful, rich emerald and goes beautifully with the black background. The cut is super flattering, making my waist look tiny and showing off my legs without being too revealing. I texted some girlfriends and they all agreed, so I went off to my event with confidence! I was attending a dressier (cocktail attire on the invitation) work event, so I needed to walk that line, and the dress did it beautifully, not too short or too low cut. The top was cut so I could wear a standard bra. I received tons of compliments and felt amazing. I wore it with black shoes and clutch, and pearl jewelry. High recommend.
