Before going on a recent Caribbean Cruise, I realized my one suitcase was not going to hold as much as I had hoped–not a new revelation but none-the-less a dilemma. I knew I would be dressing casually during the day and formally at night. Without taking my entire jewelry collection, which pieces should I take that would be attractive and versatile?
It was then that I thought of taking my wrap bead bracelets. I could take less jewelry and create many different looks. I could be dressy or casual, wear one, two or several at a time, wear them as bracelets or wear them as a single strand necklace or as a double strand necklace. The variety was almost endless and there was plenty of room in my suitcase left for my shoes.
When unpacking my overstuffed suitcase upon arrival in my stateroom on board ship, I remembered that even if I had forgotten some of the right shoes (which I had), I did bring the perfect jewelry for any outfit. In fact, there were enough bracelet and necklace choices and combinations that I could cruise for weeks and still accessorize with style. (Hopefully no one would be looking at my feet!)
