Jewelry Can Make You Strong

March 20, 2013 by WendyB

I’ve written about how my IDGAF necklace makes me feel brave.

IDGAF_Z1__01065_std

The IDGAF necklace in 18K gold. Also available in sterling silver.

Or maybe it’s more accurate to say that it forces me to act bravely regardless of how nervous I feel. I simply have to rise to the occasion because I would be ashamed to wimp out while wearing a necklace that boldly says, “I Don’t Give a Fuck.”

I was very moved to see that my gorgeous customer Lynne is also drawing strength from her new IDGAF necklace, while facing a family health crisis that’s far, far scarier than my making elevator small-talk with the inspiration for The Devil Wears Prada.

    Lynne is so awesome, and I couldn’t think of a better bearer for the IDGAF necklace. She lets nothing stand in her way.

    Isn’t Lynne awesome? I just bawled reading her post – such a great spirit. I’m so glad she has one of your wonderful pieces, Wendy.

    I love mine and surprisingly few people ask me what it stands for! They probably figure it’s Mary wearing it so must be something to do with the word fuck and not giving one! I hope Lynne’s daughter fares well.

    Oh, man, I just saw this. I cannot believe I’m on your amazing blog. I do love that necklace fiercely and wear it as often as I can get away with it. Dang that conservative law office environment. I almost bought your SRSLY necklace, but then realized I could be fired for insubordination 😮
