Gryphon, Heidi Weisel, Jean Paul Gaultier, Costume National
Usage of the phrase “to a tee” is oftentimes attributed to the sport of golf and sometimes it refers to something else entirely. In this case, I use it to note the look and feel of the necklace I wear today to the jewelry of Mr. T from the old tv show, “The A Team”.
- Mr. T
Ah, Mr. T. What a visionary. Doesn’t he look sooo Givenchy Fall 2008?

I bought this necklace about a year ago from an eccentric elderly woman who had several bold pieces like this one. She said that this Aztec necklace is a reproduction of a museum piece and is from the 1960s time period. I go through intervals of love and hate with it. There’s *something* about it, but it’s gawdy at the same time, if that makes any sense to you. Also, if you look really closely, you can see the mens’ “manly apparatuses”. 
I can see “old school” Mr. T wearing it with his melange of chains. Anyway, today I am loving it and wear it for the first time with a Gryphon ruffle coat, a Heidi Weisel shell, JPG pants, and Costume National sandals.
