Let Your Accessories Save Your Outfit

Budgets are tight these days, but that’s no reason to stop being fashion conscious – this is a lifestyle not an on-again off-again fling. Jewelry will always be one of the best ways that you can stay current with today's trends without dipping into your savings account (but if you have to you have to!) To really get mileage you should know what the top trends and styles are going to be so you choose quality pieces that update your style.

 

Statement jewelry is actually one of the largest trends right now. These pieces may not be the most expensive pieces in your wardrobe, but they pack a lot of punch. You’ll want to choose pieces that are a bit more outrageous than your every day jewelry (note the “a bit” part.) Explore fun shapes, rich colors, and sparkle. The key to making this look work for you is to keep your statement down to one piece per outfit. You do not want to have a large statement ring paired with a chunky armful of bangles, and some chandelier earrings. Choice, my good fashionable people, we have the power of choice; let us use good judgment.

 

On the mention of earrings, chandelier earrings are back in the spotlight. They bring an instantly feminine and glamorous look to any outfit. Typically, chandelier earrings have some sort of sparkle to them, and this makes them the perfect addition to any going out look. However, do not think you can only wear chandelier earrings in the evening. They are actually really beautiful when paired with simple jeans, heels, and a spaghetti strap vest or halter. These sparkly babies add a bit of glamour to our mundane days.

 

A side note of encouragement to pay attention to detail. If it looks chunky and clumsily put together in the showcase it may very well still look that way on your arm later. Examine pieces closely, they cost a lump sum so you don’t want to reach home and gems begin to come unstuck. Look at comfort – some designs have sharp edges that can be irritable with long wear.

 

Don't forget to incorporate the colors into your choice of sparkle as well. Jewel tones are very popular as long as they are rich and lush. You can choose to incorporate gemstones into your collection that are very rich in hue. These do not need to be the most expensive stones either. You can choose amethysts or citrines to give your accessories that glitz and glam that you are looking for. Additionally, you might want to explore pieces that have multiple stones in multiple hues to add to your collection.

 

Your jewelry is a great way to enhance your look, lifestyle and wardrobe – yes it can do all that and even lift spirits on dull days! But most importantly, for us, it integrates the top fashion jewelry trends into your wardrobe. With a little bit of effort and attention to detail you will find that you are turning heads in no time!
