ES8171 Jewelry - Floral Gray Pearl Fashion Jewelry Earrings

Fashion trends come and go, but fashion jewelry fundamentals are forever. Sometimes, fashionistas fall into the trap of complacency. They wear the same fashion jewelry styles over and over because they know it works for them, never mind that it has become stale and boring. Others fall into a different fashion trap – that of overdependence on fashion jewelry trends. These are the fashionistas who will not be caught dead without the same fashion jewelry the celebrities are wearing – even if it does not match their own look and personalities.

So, how do you avoid becoming a victim of your own fashion jewelry choices? Here are some fashion jewelry fundamentals you might want to keep in mind:

1. Use statement necklaces to perk up what would otherwise be a plain outfit. Take advantage of this fashion jewelry’s bright colors and odd shapes. Wear it as a “bib” or as an accent, just don’t overdo it.

2. Black is not just a classic color for dresses. Black fashion jewelry pieces are also timeless and are useful for creating contrast.

3. Mix and match. Wearing one color for your entire ensemble is not as fashionable today as it use to be, so don’t be afraid of color. Wear red earrings with an orange ring, or wear layers of necklaces in shades of blue and green. A word of caution though - while mixing and matching fashion jewelry is fun and certified fashionable, looking like a walking rainbow is a no-no so still maintain a sense of restraint in wearing color.
