"It's The Last One" or: "My Acquisition of the Chandelier Necklace"


"It's the last one."

Has anyone else ever heard this phrase uttered by a salesperson?  And did it elicit irrational feelings and spur you to action?

Well, first let me tell you I now own the Chandelier Necklace!  Here's the story...

I know I bought the bracelet on Friday but I just kept thinking about this necklace all weekend... so I went in today to try on one more time (with my daughter's opinion... and let me tell you:  I knew my five year old sparkly girl was going to love it).  It was no longer on display so I asked to try it on... and yes, she brought out the last one.  Maybe they only got one, I don't know.  And I know I could always use the red phone, and they get replens, but... it was the last one.  

I tried it on, and my little girl loooooved it.  I decided to get it and left it at the cashwrap while I shopped some more.  The manager came up to me later and said someone wanted to try it on just for sizing, and was that OK?  "Of course." I said - smiling - "But don't sell my necklace"! Ha ha ha.  But not kidding.

Like or dislike, it is definitely a statement.  Personally, I love it.  It is heavy, and it is voluminous, but it is clear and sparkly so I don't think it looks heavy and overwhelming. I have it on below with my "Claire" dress - (some of my readers and I are just calling it that, thank you ladies, as "Dressy Jersey Strapless Dress" sounds rather uninspired) - and the melon Portland to show melon with the dark charcoal.  More Polyvores to come!

  3. It's pretty w/ the Claire dress. The melon colour cardi looks good w/ charcoal. I agree, that bec. the necklace is clear it doesn't seem as heavy ~ it looks fab w. the dress. You did good! What an enabler I am, lol.
