The Do’s and Don’ts of Fashion Jewelry

If you saw a woman on the street with a cocktail ring on every finger and her neck weighed down by too many necklaces, would you be a kind-hearted Samaritan and inform her of her fashion faux pas? Fashion jewelry looks perfect when accessorized correctly but if overdone, it can be a big mess! Now, we’ve all seen a woman dripping with fashion jewelry and I’m going to assume your inner thoughts weren’t throwing her compliments. Keep in mind that less is more! If you are going to wear a bold statement necklace and a big chunky bangle, it’s best to skip the cocktail rings and the chandelier earrings! Otherwise, you’ll look like an 8 year old playing dress-up!

DO:

• Wear two necklaces: One short and one long necklace. The combinations of the two create a balance that will make your outfit stand out more.

• Wear chandelier earrings with a cute cocktail dress. They will compliment your dress perfectly!

• A must have in the fashion jewelry world is a pair of synthetic pearls! It’s perfect for a classic and sophisticated look.

• Wear multiple bangles but don’t overdo it. We suggest wearing 2-5, but not more! Have a little fun and mix and match the bangles. The great thing about bangles in fashion jewelry is that you don’t have to worry about matching up tones or styles.

• Wear two tone sterling silver and gold tone fashion jewelry. This way, you’ll never have to pick between each tone because you can have the best of both! Two tone fashion jewelry makes your outfit just that much more eye-catching!

• Wear one cocktail ring. You don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard with multiple rings. With such attention grabbing rings, less is more!

DON’T:

• Over-do the number of fashion jewelry you accessorize. Chances are, if you haven’t seen other girls doing the same thing, there’s a reason for it. Know when enough is enough!

• Wear flashy jewelry meant for fancier nights out in the early day! Sometimes, this fashion jewelry is just too much for the daytime.

• Buy fashion jewelry that isn’t versatile. If you can wear your chandelier earrings with your cocktail dress but nothing else in your closet, then reconsider buying it! It’s great to have versatile fashion jewelry to match up with other outfits and also to save your wallet from unnecessary spending!

• Wear too many necklaces unless you want a heavy neck! One or two different length ones will work.

• Buy jewelry on impulse. You should always make sure that the price and style is going to fit your budget and tastes.

Have fun and experiment with your fashion jewelry because it’s all about finding the pieces that express who you are! But not every aspect of you all at once!
