Your Opinions, please

The extremely lovely people at She-Beads have made us an offer we can’t refuse – they will make a one-of-a-kind bracelet for me to give away to one of you!

So, they asked me what color scheme I would prefer…

I have a preference – the colors of The Vivienne Files – greys, white and soft pink.

But in order to give us all a choice, I culled back through Pinterest to find the most frequently repinned images and color schemes, and the last four of these options came from there.

So which do you love the most? Which would make a gorgeous bracelet?

have a glorious holiday weekend,
love,
Janice

    How nice….they are all lovely, but I prefer E. I love gray and rust together and I would never have thought of that color combination without seeing it on your blog. It has been difficult to find the right accent pieces that pull them together. I have one scarf with those colors, but would love something I could wear in the summer because I have a great linen tee from J. Crew in rust and a beautiful draped sleeveless top in rust. It is kind of tough to integrate rust into a summer wardrobe. Thank you.

    Option C, please…with maybe the addition of a little pop of rose or fuschia? (This probably doesn't turn up in your Pinterest stats, but I'm slowly making my way through all of your past posts–I read a handful most days. I'm still in 2012, and enjoying it all IMMENSELY. Such gorgeous clothing–all I can do is sigh. Many, many thanks…)(BTW, most of your guest post links from several years ago have died, I think when the hosts (Woman of a Certain Age?) redesigned her website. Such a shame, because they always look like fascinating topics…)

    I have had a look at the She Beads web site and there a lots of color combinations there that I like! I like the black and white, the white and black, the multi tropical are combination has all the flair of Carmen Miranda. My favorite is the blue, green and white Emmy. I have just had a look at their collections and they are all wonderful. I want the brightest one – the one that stands out the most so I can show it off! I like D. Thanks Carol S

      Me again. I have just watched the video on how they make the beads. Each bead pattern is a work of art and it takes a while to put together a string of beads. Beautiful, distinctive and individual work. Gorgeous Carol S.

    Good day, I do not comment on blogs, as a general rule. I do, however, organize my wardrobe around color combinations. And I love jewelry (both fine jewelry and costume, if interesting). I have found it difficult to locate bracelets that combine pink and grey. I usually settle for mostly silver/white gold jewelry, with scarf that combines the palette more completely. I would vote for Option A. And I very much appreciate your work, as do the other ladies who will be going to Rome and the south of France with me in one week; I have contributed to their list of addictions by introducing them to The Vivienne Files.

    How lovely and generous – I vote B as it's not a combination easily found outside of custom work.

    Hhhmmmmmm, I've noticed that several people have left more than one comment. Does that double their chances of winning? It goes against my sense of fair play. What about you?

    Your Photographer Friend likes B. The color Green has been proven to boost happiness (wish I could find the link of the article I read so I could share with you).

    Red is good luck in bracelets, like red roses, so D is my favorite.
