I love Amazon’s new concept of “try before you buy” even though I have found that I usually buy what I try. This is one of those things that I have had on my wish list for a while, but couldn’t justify spending the money – other bills and things were more important. But the other night, with a little Christmas melancholy and hope, I said “I deserve something whimsical and fanciful this holiday season. I work too hard not to order something every now and then that I want, but don’t necessarily need. Besides, if not now (during these crazy times), then when?” So what could it harm if I click, “try for 7 days before you buy it.” This was really because I thought that MAYBE I would’t really keep it. Guess what, I LOVE IT. It is so unique and fun, that I didn’t even wait on the 7 days to expire before clicking keep/buy.
This Betsey Johnson necklace is beautiful. It is a mixture of layers, beads, and fun!! It is colorful – accented by hearts, flowers and beads. It is whimsical and fun. It will match any and everything. This was the perfect purchase with the exception of the packaging. Maybe it was because this was a “try before you buy” item, but this necklace literally arrived in a ziplock baggie. No thrills or frills at all, which was disappointing since this necklace is so pretty. Personally, I think the packaging should match the look of the necklace – nice. With the exception of the packaging, this necklace is 5 stars.
