Can You Rock It?

Last week, I borrowed several pieces from Maria's giant trunk of vintage jewelry. You never know what you're going to find, and on more than one occassion she or I have pulled something out and just stared at it, awestruck by its hideousness. But quite often even those pieces have some potential. You just have to pair them with the right clothing and the right attitude. Then you "rock it."

For example

Maria was convinced this glass necklace was beyond all help. After a suggestion that it be paired with a white T and a blue cardigan, it was perfect to wear to an Etsy fair (and t breakfast prior). She got multiple compliments.


Despite my assurance that she just needed to "rock it", Maria remained unconvinced about one item (or pair) from her jewelry trunk and challenged me to "rock it" this coming week. So the item was added to my pile of borrowed jewelry. And if you think it's obvious, I want to tell you that we debated several pieces in this group prior to coming to an agreement about their "rock-ability."

Can you guess which one is my Challenge Piece?
