Age-mazing gal we met at Bergdorfs (on the street in NYC part 2)
Well, as you might have heard, I, (JoJami) was in NYC last week when the rain totally blew my plans to visit the Botanical Gardens, however… not one to complain, I decided to check out the shopping!
When in NYC I always love to check out Bergdorf Goodman for just the plain decadence and to check in on what the creme de la creme of society is buying. With classic labels such as Chanel and Armani surrounding you on one side and the hottest newcomers on the other, the entire experience can really get your creative juices flowing and have you seriously contemplating getting a second job!
Anyway….I digress… what I wanted to share with you was the highlight of my BG experience was chatting with one their sales associates. She was super friendly and looked so gorgeous I had to ask her if her dress was a Missoni!
How old do you think she is?
YES it was but she got it last year! (BTW, She is 52 and a grandmother). She had updated it with a big chunky necklace from Anthropology and the shoes are from Zara.

Hi Fran,
If you go into our search mode at the top of our blog and put in SHOES, we have several blog posts about comfortable, yet stylish shoes, you might find helpful. However, thanks for your comment, we are always on the lookout for stylish and comfortable shoes to share with you.
(Try a wedge with a cork heel…for this summer they are so comfortable and stylish!)

The link below is to a NYT audio slide show “On the Street: Fashion Fireworks” highlighting the big chunky/oversize necklaces (and bracelets) in style right now. To my mind the jewelry looks terrible on almost all of the women in the slide show. On a positive note the third slide in the show (at 2:25-2:26) is of a woman wearing the same Anthropologie necklace the Bergdorf sales associate is wearing above.

Am I totally out of the fashion loop? How/when should these oversize statement pieces of jewelry be worn.
Thank you
