On QVC (and other shopping channels), the hosts are emphasizing "layering" in jewelry. The thought is that since layering is hot in clothing, you should pile on jewelry. Isn't this just a nice way of saying you should be ostentatious? One host recently whined that she hated wearing a watch because because it took away space that could be used for more bracelets. Not surprisingly, the host (and the others that dish this line) is morbidly obese. When I see person wearing three necklaces, four bracelets, and rings on every finger, I see someone that isn't pleased with themselves on the outside (a fattie) or unhappy inside and they use to jewelry as anti-depressants. They essentially admit it when they call in and say how "good it makes me feel." Admittedly, I'm not a jewelry junkie (but love Nike watches), so I don't quite understand the obsession with it.
Clearly, it is working because the ladies call up and tell their stories of going out and being "noticed".
