A Little Bigger

Have you been thinking small?

Some years ago (before I became the Jewelry Doctor) I met an image consultant at a business event. She looked at the jewelry I was wearing and said, “Wear big earrings.”

Big earrings? 

Yikes! 

I asked why she suggested that. It made me a little nervous. I mean, you know, big? Big earrings? They’d be too flashy. Flashy was not me. (Note: Still not flashy, but my earrings have definitely gotten bigger.)

She pointed out that I was tall. (True.) Why the teeny earrings?

I believe the term is “comfort zone.” You see, I was comfortable wearing little earrings. And there’s nothing wrong with little earrings. But what she could see that I couldn’t was that they were a little too little for me.

Could you go a little bigger? No one says you have to. But it’s a new month. A splendid time to consider if you may be playing small—smaller than you need to. We’re not talking gigantic. Just, maybe, you know, a little bigger.
