La Vie en Turquoise

I bought this inexpensive necklace some time ago at Target or Kohl's, I believe.  I loved its juicy turquoise color and beaded braid profusion, and I thought it would be easy to wear.  Alas, no.  The braid is so thick, and extends so far, that it looks quite ungraceful on.  When I was trying it on with a turquoise blouse, hoping against hope for the umpteenth time that it would work, I noticed it was the same turquoise as a rhinestone pin I wear often and was planning to wear should the necklace not look right (which of course it still didn't).  I decided to put them together, and loved the turquoise overload of color.  Last night I finally decided to photograph it, which I did, twice - once plain, once with sparkly bird.  (Penny plain, tuppence colored, as they used to say in Victorian England.)  The photo doesn't capture the luscious color, but it will serve as a reminder to me at some point.  Sparkle on!
