Image
               Costume Jewelries sometimes looks finer than the original stones.I really don't know the worth of original gold or diamond.I really love costume jewellery because they really don't cost a fortune and I am not afraid of being robbed by anybody if am wearing them in Nigeria or outside the country.Remember Kim Kardashian was robbed in France off her original jewelries but if she is rocking costume jewelries am sure they would not have been trailing her for two years and she would not have been robbed because it would have been a waste of their plans and journey to her residence in France.Kim Should experiment costume jewelries and quit looking bare and afraid.On sunday I wore a Orange and white short gown,white stud necklace,white shoe and purse with a kind of orange lipstick.I hope you like it?.More photos below.
