december jewelmint purchases

These were my Jewelmint purchases for the month of December (although I did purchase some of this stuff in November, they bunched up my order and sent a bunch of stuff together so some of the stuff didn't get to me until December). 

Pomander Pendant

The Pomander Pendant is actually one of my favorite Jewelmint pieces. This is a very safe piece in that it doesn't feel like you're leaving your comfort zone. It matches most of my outfits and it's something I throw on when I don't want to spend a lot of time thinking about what I'm going to wear (somedays, work is already enough thinking as it is). When I first got it, I thought the charm was gynormous! But after wearing it a couple of times, it doesn't feel that large anymore. I always wear the Tiffany's key necklace which is silver and I layer this necklace with that one and it meshes just fine which I love.

There's actually a story behind this piece and I wouldn't have bought it if HollyAnnAeree didn't explain it in her video. I really liked how unique it was so that's why I purchased it. I seriously went on Jewelmint right after I saw her video and bought it lol. 

Vanguard Necklace

Holy moly I am so glad I picked up this piece before it was sold out. When I first saw this piece online, I seriously thought it looked hideous. I kept thinking who would ever wear that?! And then I went to see how it looked on the model and I thought it looked really nice on her but it still didn't convince me to purchase it (I always think if it doesn't look nice on the model, then there really isn't any hope for me lol). Anyways, I was talking to my friend Samantha about Jewelmint and she was debating whether or not to get this piece and there was all this craze on Facebook and YouTube and it was almost sold out so I took the plunge and bought it. This is one of those pieces that seriously makes the outfit. I haven't worn it very often but every time I do, I feel like it takes my outfit to the next level. The magnetic closure does get a little annoy because my hair has gotten caught in it a couple of times but other than that, I'd highly recommend this piece if they ever bring it back.

Humanity Bracelet

I would have to say this is one of my most worn pieces from Jewelmint. I love jewelry that has writing on it so that's why I ended up purchasing this one. My one complaint about this piece is that it does feel kind of cheapy or something I could buy from Forever 21. This piece came back for maybe 24 hours and was then sold out so I'm glad I picked it up but at the same time, I feel like I could have paid $5.80 and gotten something similar from Forever 21. 

Lucky Charms Necklace

So when I first saw this necklace, I thought it was the coolest thing on Earth! It was one of those things I just had to have. In the midst of trying to look for a coupon code, the Lucky Charms Necklace was sold out! I was so sad. I waited until Holly's video came out but there was nothing else that I wanted and her coupon code was only good for a couple of days so I decided to skip out on the month... that was until I checked back on the 23rd. They had the necklace in stock again!! I purchased it right away. Unfortunately, they already started charging tax on the site so not only did I pay full price on this one (this was the only thing I've purchased not using a coupon or got something for free), but I also had to pay taxes :(. I'm thinking that I may have to subscribe again so that I could get the credits and not have to pay tax. My reasoning behind this is that I also subscribe to StyleMint (which I've regretted every single day I have... the quality of the shirts suck and the sizing is ridiculous... like when Tony saw it, he was like "Did you buy the right size 'cause that looks like it could fit 3 of you?" And I was like, "Yeah *embarrassed look* I bought size "1" which is the smallest size available".) ANYWAYS lol, I digress. So they kept charging me on StyleMint even though I decided to "Skip" the month and I was too lazy to tell them to refund me so they were having a promotion where you get a gift with a purchase of 2 shirts and I had 2 credits ($29.99 each) so I bought 2 shirts and got the leggings as my gift. I didn't have to pay taxes or anything! So what I'm thinking is that since the purchase was technically "Free" then you don't get charged taxes! 

But anyways, on to the actual necklace lol. I really thought the necklace would have felt better... like weighty would be a better description. It's not a very heavy necklace so it feels kind of cheap. The part with the charms is really nice but I feel like the chain portion feels extremely cheap. I feel like I went to Home Depot and just got a bunch of links to make the chain. It's also a REALLY awkward length. Like I was super confused as to how to wear it because it's not short enough to be a choker but it's got so much going on with the charms that it just didn't feel like it should be so long because then all the charms just tend to clump together instead of being displayed in all their glory. I remember Holly said something very similar in her video. I haven't worn this yet but I'm hoping that the length won't deter me from wearing it in the future. I've been working so much and haven't really been going out much and usually necklaces get stuck on stuff so I try not to be too dangly in the pharmacy (although I did wear this to the pharmacy the other day just to try it out and it got stuck to one of the baskets O_O). This is the same reason I avoid wearing earrings (especially dangly ones). Even studs hurt my ears because I'm constantly on the phone.



That's all for my Jewelmint purchases for December! Finally catching up on all these posts! Hopefully I'll have my January Jewelmint purchases up in a few days since I just got all of them in the mail!
Thanks for reading!
