There is nothing that brings a smile to our face like a pretty ring, a jangly necklace, or some sparkly earrings.
Big or small, real or fake, understated or over-the-top, jewelry lifts the spirits. It also lifts a look! Colorful beads or chandelier earrings could be just the thing to make an ordinary outfit outstanding.
The beauty of accessories is that they’re relatively inexpensive. If you are on a tight budget, you can buy several pieces and update the look of the clothes you already have in your wardrobe. You would be surprised how one piece of accessory can change an entire look. Stores like Forever 21 and H&M carry a massive amount of jewelry that’s very affordable. It’s better to have a few statement & staple pieces that you love and will use than a massive collection that fades as fast as trends.
Face Framing With Earrings!
Drop earrings are the middle ground between petite studs and major danglies. They also offer a way to work color into your look.
Bring Life to Your Outfits With Necklaces!
There are so many directions you can go when it comes to necklaces, from subtle (a simple gold chain or a strand of pearls) to bold (a wide bib or colorful beads) and lots of places in between.
Consider the vibe you are going for. Add colorful beads for a boho feel, silver chains for a touch of punk, or pearls for a prim and proper air.
Accent Your Arms With Bracelets!
Bracelets can be exotic, simple, or just exciting. They’re all about adding extra oomph. Whether you stack them, opt for one wide cuff, or pick one filled with trinkets, they give your style personality.
Brooches…Old-Fashioned Sparkles!
You may think brooches are an outdated, fuddy-duddy take on jewelry, but a glamorous pin can enrich and enliven the most basic of clothes.
Put them on in unusual places…a brooch doesn’t have to be stuck on your lapel. Try one on the hip of your dress, to fasten your scarf, or as a closure for your cardigan.
Use Rings to Make Big Statements!
Don’t load up every finger. One adorned ring per hand looks best (especially with cocktail pieces), but max out at two each if you like to wear multiples. When wearing an attention-getting ring, keep in mind people will look — which means your nails should be properly groomed.
“Accessories are everything. To me, they’re more important than the clothes.”
Enhance Your Style with Jewelry…whether fancy or costume, nothing can add oomph to your wardrobe like jewelry!
