If you’re ever looking for a cheap and effective way to boost your wardrobe, always reach for the accessories. I really enjoy jewelry because it’s one aspect where you can buy fashion pieces without breaking the bank. Plus, you can easily store it away until it comes back around in style. It’s a lot easier to do that with smaller pieces than shoes for example. So take a look at some pieces that are sure to become your favorites.
The Statement Necklace
I know, I know. I’ve totally talked about statement necklaces before. Maybe that means take the damn hint already lol. Seriously you guys, adding a statement necklace to your wardrobe means easy transitional dressing. You can throw one on a t-shirt, add a cute jacket and the jeans you’ve been wearing all day and be completely date night appropriate. It makes things super easy and you will get a ton of compliments.
Colorful Oversize Earrings
Think larger crystals, larger gems and the bigger the better. You can mix hues, you can mix color with metal and it all goes. If you have a plain black dress you can up the glamour by a thousand percent by adding some big, colorful gemstones to it. You can find them in every budget and mixed with an up do, they are the perfect summer accessory for any function.
Ring Sets
When it comes to rings lately, there seem to be no rules. You can pile them on, mix chunky with delicate and mix sizes. Wear one below the knuckle and another up where you usually would wear your rings. They also look great spread across your hand or all on one finger. Have fun with it. If you aren’t into earrings or necklaces, then try this trend out.
Chunky Chains
Give a shout out to past 80’s fashion by wearing a large chunky chain. You can wear them with anything, but when they are mixed with a black leather jacket they immediately up the tough level. These necklaces are super bold on their own, but don’t be afraid to put your own spin on them by layering them with pearls or your favorite girlie dress. It’s all about finding a balance that makes it your own.
Black And Gold
Ok. If you are hesitant to try one of the louder jewelry trends, then for the love of god try this one. Black and gold mixed together is very versatile. This combo looks good on basically everyone. Black anchors the gold and gives it a little definition which makes it very wearable and easy to incorporate into outfits that you already own. It’s an easy and simple way to add a little glam to your outfit without being too loud about it.
Ear Cuffs
This one is my personal favorite of all of the recent jewelry trends. Even if the ear cuff is delicate with diamonds, it still comes across as super bad ass. My only problem is that it’s hard to throw my weave into a nice up do so that I can show my ear cuffs off. If you like having your hair up off of your neck in the summer, then I would check these out immediately. They are a bold piece and need to be worn with confidence. Go out and rock the shit out of it!
Vintage Inspired
You know those vintage pieces worth thousands that were passed down to you by your family that you’re afraid to wear out? Yeah, me neither. Well, now you don’t need to secretly curse that you weren’t born into the Hilton dynasty. You can easily get the same look without having to spend a fortune. A word of warning though, try not to wear these pieces with too fancy of clothes because it can age you and look matronly. Wear them with more casual styles to keep it looking current and easy. Another tip is if you plan on wearing vintage earrings or a broach (anything that frames your face), then keep your makeup light and dewy.
It’s amazing how a piece of jewelry can completely change the way an outfit you’ve had forever looks. Plus, you can buy several new pieces for any budget that you’re working with. Go out and give it a try. It’s a great way to dress up some of your simple and casual summer favorites.
