MLM, and all others, don't worry... I didn't take anything personally. Heck, I brought up the discussion.
I just figured if I didn't say anything of my personal style, then others would wonder and ask so why not beat them to the punch? And anyway, I learned something I had never heard before -- 5 pieces of jewelry is the standard acceptable amount, with allowances made depending on presentation. And learning is why I'm here -- to learn from all of you out there.
It will be interesting to see how opinions and preferences change as the world continues... where once a woman had to wear a dress/skirt to be professional she can now wear slacks. Where once jewelry of any kind (minus a wedding band and watch) was frowned on for men, they now can wear other pieces if done in good taste. Where once only 1 pair of earrings was professional, now we have workers wearing 2 pairs and looking professional. How will the eyebrow-ring and other body art move into the mainstream and be considered "tasteful" and "professional"? I can see it happening at some point down the road, but how we're going to get there will be interesting to see and just goes to show that the world we live in keeps evolving.
