I know there are many women [I know a few] who expect their boyfriend-spouse-husband to bathe them in fancy expensive jewelry. They want people to know that “he went to Jared” lol.
I’ve always been an independent woman. And I firmly believe that women should buy their own jewelry, bags, cars, clothes, and diamonds. Why should women buy their own diamonds? Why the heck not?! I’ve never expected anyone to buy anything for me. If I want something and have the means to afford it, I get it. If I don’t have the means too than that means I don’t get it.
A woman shouldn’t feel as if diamonds need to be bought for her. She should be able to purchase diamonds on her own if that is what her heart desires.
Personally I’m not rushing to get a sweet diamond necklace or bracelet, I like nice things, but right now in my life diamonds are a reach. A big reach. But I do look forward to the day when I can go to diamonds.com with my credit card handy and not worry about maxing it out. Being able to purchase a diamond bracelet like this one from Diamonds.com:
Would be a real sense of accomplishment especially since I have struggled to gain financial stability since I have lived on my own the past 6 years. Being a single mom and a young single mom, I am still striving to achieve and succeed, but am confident that one day soon…I’d say before I turn 30 [5 more years] that I will be running over to diamonds.com to make my first major diamond purchase!

ReplyDeleteGreat post.

I totally agree with you. I think that goes for anything in life. We as women shouldn't wait for a man to do anything or get us where we WANT to be.
ReplyDeleteIt's just like the flower scenario. Some guys feel like their obligated to get flowers on special holidays or when their trying "make up" for something they've done. If a man is going to get me something I want it to be "just because".
Otherwise if I want something, I get it myself :)
You know, I always told my fiance...no jewellry unless it's a ring. And if it's a ring I only want THE ring. To this day the only piece of jewellry my fiance has bought me is my diamond engagement ring. Just the way I like it. And I picked it out too.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
You'll be there soon enough. You are doing more than amazing.
ReplyDeleteIm allll about self gifting... something I miss! Hmmm you just gave me an idea for meeting my 30 goal??!!!
ReplyDeleteI am co-signing Ro's post. Self gifting is fantabulous! I've yet to achieve financial freedom (back in grad school AGAIN) but I've made tremendous progress. I'm going to continue goal setting & moving forward. I want my son to see me achieve FF before his college years.
ReplyDeleteReally loving that cuff. And yes, you're going to get to that point where you will be able to afford all the finer things in life for you and your little princess!! It takes time and lots of faith. Looking forward to seeing and being apart of Mommy Glow really taking off and blowing up in 2011!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! No need to wait for someone to "go to Jareds." We can get it ourselves!
