When She's 64 - Cher Style Then And Now

Only a 64 year old Cher could get away with wearing this outfit at the MTV Music Video Awards

Tasteful no, but hilarious yes

And at least she has a since of humor about it
From the Daily Mail

'I have shoes older than most of these nominees,' she told a cheering audience. 'I'm the oldest chick with the biggest hair in the littlest costume.

'Back in the day, I used to get thrown off MTV for wearing things like this that seem so tame now,' she added. 'That's when Lady Gaga was Baby Gaga.'

I've been thinking about 1970s Cher style recently because of this vintage turquoise jewelry on Beladora2.

 

Vintage 1970s Multistrand Turquoise Bead Necklace 

Vintage 1970s Double Strand Turquoise Bead Necklace

Vintage 1970's Turquoise and Shell Dangle Earrings

Vintage 1970s Turquoise Cuff Bracelet

The client that we bought the jewelry from was kind enough to provide us with a copy of this actual People Magazine cover from 1975 featuring Cher in all of her turquoise splendor.

I love the headlines

Donald Rumsfeld Ford's 'No' Man

and 

Led Zeppelin Bigger Than The Beatles

I will admit that in 1975 I had zero idea who Donald Rumsfeld was 

but I did listen to a lot of Led Zeppelin.

How To Wear Vintage Estate Jewelry - The Gold Statement Necklace

Well, once I get on a topic I just keep going on and on....like how to wear Beladora vintage estate jewelry. I'm making this my BHB meme...at least until the ADD hits in and I go off on some other tangent.
Of course I love to wear Georgian and Art Deco diamonds...who doesn't
But more often I go for big bold statement pieces from the 1960's and 1970's.
Such as this gold and diamond necklace with pendant that was worn this week by Faith Hill

Here I am wearing the exact same necklace. It can be worn long as on Faith Hill or short, as I am wearing it here in this photo. I used the second half of the necklace to wrap double around my wrist as a bracelet. Might I add that the necklace also fits perfectly as a belt.

Here's he detail from Beladora.com

Gold and Diamond Necklace with Pendant in 18K $13,550

Why so expensive you ask? Simply because there is a lot of gold weight in this piece.

Oh...and did you notice that fox throw that I am leaning against in the photo?

It is the same one from this famous va-va-voom photo of Kate Winslet from Vanity Fair.

Naturally, like the necklace the silver fox made by Frette is for sale...with a matching pillow.

Any offers?
