I see no point whatsoever in buying a single, boring necklace for a couple of hundred pounds, when I could quite easily buy 15-20 cute little necklaces or earrings or bracelets etc. for the same price.
I would much rather have something that I find beautiful or cute, something that catches my eye, that is easily replaceable if it gets lost or damaged, as opposed to some daft stone on the end of a chain that I could possibly get mugged for.
Note I said, "something that catches my eye".
I couldn't give a shit if you dont like it. You wont be wearing it, will you? If I like it, I'm going to wear it & my age doesn't come in to the matter. Lots of people like Winnie The Pooh dont they? Lots of people still watch cartoons, yes?
Stop being such a ponce and let some ****ing fun into your life, you're boring as shit.
You can wear almost anything you want in public, but that doesn't mean that you should.
Actually you should somewhat accustom to the norm. People dress to impress and if you're dressing up like a twelve year old girl you're subjecting yourself to the attention of the wrong audience.
Then there's the question of the person's mentality. If you have to wear something that different then you're probably compensating for the lack of attention you're getting or something along those lines.
To wear normal clothes and accessories reflects confidence and satisfaction. To look like a clown doesn't. End of discussion.
I'd recommend you to see a psychiatrist. Considering the situation you obviously have some unresolved childhood issues bottled up inside of you that can't be healthy for either you or the people around you.
I hope that you realize that dressing up as a little girl is abnormal and unhealthy behavior most likely in need of professional counseling.

Aw, bless.
You're "concerned" for me. Ain't ya cute.
Tough shit.
I wear what I wear because I'm comfortable wearing it. Besides which.. how do you even know what clothes I like to wear?
For some reason you've got on to the subject of clothes, when all I mentioned was jewelry..
What do you class as "normal" clothing anyway? The suits and ties that mummy & daddy always wear? Is that why you're such a boring arse? Mummy and daddy not spend enough time with you when you were younger?
Meh. I wouldn't know, of course, as I dont know anything about you. But there you go.
In conclusion, you bore me. Welcome to my ignore list you silly pathetic little boy.

Perhaps, but you can't make a decent argument for why she shouldn't wear that, if it makes you happy, as it is in no way harming anyone.
Some people dress to impress, some people dress to express themselves, some people dress to fit in, some people dress to be warm, there are many valid reasons why people dress the way they do, impressing others is in no way a superior reasons.
That is perhaps the most stupid thing I ever heard. You believe submitting your own wishes to blend into the norm reflects confidence? Quite the opposite, you don't submit because you are confident, you submit because you are scared of just the kind of opinion you put forth.
I can and I have, your refusal to accept it as decent has no bearing on its objective quality.
You cloth yourself after the weather and environment, obviously, but you also cloth yourself to appeal to others. People who feels the need to express themselves by wearing a t-shirt with a certain logo are suffering from center of attention disorder if only to a small extent.
Or insightful speculation rejected by a malefactor encouraging a destructive behavior for lack of better judgement.
Is that the line of reasoning you mindlessly repeat to yourself in front of the mirror to force yourself into your Pikachu shirt? By arguing against the norm, you're indirectly stating that normal people fall short in terms of confidence. That's obviously not the case.
It's pretty obvious that the need to stick out in order to not feel bad about oneself is a unhealthy behavior. I shouldn't have to elaborate on this further. You know it's bad and I know it's bad.
What makes you think everyone wants or likes diamonds? What's wrong with liking cutesy stuff? I don't like diamonds, I find them bland and boring. I like stuff that's colorful.
And why not? You realize that they make a lot of stuff like this for adults, right? Why does it really matter what someone wears when they go out? People don't have to be boring clones of each other, and even professional/dressy clothes can be pretty and colorful. Mine sure are (colorful ballet flats = best thing ever).

There is no evidence for your claim. You just say stuff. Silly.
Your attempt to obfuscate your shallow observations as deep insights does not work.
Absolutely not, it is very telling that that is what you got from it though. I specified that the behaviour of people who want to dress differently, but do not do so to fit is in no way a sign of confidence. You equating that with saying that all people who dress to the norm lack confidence is an obvious sign of your faulty reasoning.
You are changing the subject. Don't be so pathetic. If you want an actual conversation about the pros and cons of dressing in different ways I'd be glad to have that. But it is apparent you just want to spout your depressingly limited and inaccurate "knowledge" of psychological terms for some sad need to insult people. If anyone has something wrong with them that may need checking it is you as the behavior you have shown here over the last couple weeks. Either you are a person that needs attention and to get a rise out of people by typical "trollish" behavior or you have a more serious problem of lack of empathy, which can be a much more severe problem, perhaps something on the autism scale.
I'll not reply to your dimestore freudism anymore, if I wanted inaccurate know-it-all drivel I'd talk to a first year psychology student.
The dude has a a haircut that's popular with the 12-15 year old crowd (Justin Bieber cut), granted it's fine, style as you wish. But he's clearly just trolling for attention here, as well the obvious hyprocrite. It's his MO.
Actually there is and if you'd bother to actually read the post you're responding to, you'd know.
What shallow observations? Making vague accusations without addressing specifics is not the proper way to go about a rebuttal. You should know this.
That's odd. Since dressing differently for the purpose of sticking out could only be interpreted as a cry for attention and nothing more. Somewhat confident people don't have the need to separate themselves from the masses by wearing awkward clothing. In the end, you're not arguing objectively. You're trying to justify your position with flawed reasoning. Now I'd like to see a credible evidence for why the need to stick out would be considered healthy.
I find it ironic how you're unable to actually refute said "limited and inaccurate" statements and resort to committing logical fallacies. As for my mental state I hardly think that a computer science drop-out--like yourself--would qualify to give me a psychological diagnosis of any kind. Why you feel the need to do so however is evident to me but outside of this debate. Now, you can either properly address my positions or concede.
Which ironically enough would have far more knowledge and experience in the field than yourself. Your ego is astounding, especially when taking your position into account.
