Though in the unlikely event of winning a medal or a mark of honor, I'd of course respect the tradition and significance assigned to them. As for jewellery mixing: that rule is as delicate as mixing gray and brown. Done correctly and with a feel for aesthetic, almost! anything can be mixed. This of course excludes cheap plastic and acrylic jewellery that don't even deserve to be called that.coffeeaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719243899202995984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-72864727968867596702011-11-17T14:29:33.787+01:002011-11-17T14:29:33.787+01:00I did some google work.

Marks of honor are placed on the left side.<br />If you have broad shoulders, don´t use brooches ( ! )<br />There also was a mention, that you should never mix real jewelry with fake ones.

Do women wear their brooches on the opposite side than men? I mean, men´s shirts, coats and pants are buttoned and zippered differently than those of the women.mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-75383298633923543472011-11-16T19:32:13.682+01:002011-11-16T19:32:13.682+01:00Susan: Yup, unironed shirt ;-) I know there are wo...Susan: Yup, unironed shirt ;-) I know there are worse things, but I just felt a bit out of my depth.
