Lacking a Jewelry Wardrobe?

Accessories are an afterthought for many women when getting dressed.  So many of you wear the same few pieces of jewelry everyday.  You take them off (or not) before bed and then put them back on when you get up in the morning and head out the door.
So why not try a fun new pair of earrings or a new necklace to spice things up?
To get you started, here are a few tips for building a jewelry wardrobe.


1. Try "Gold" Jewelry
I cannot tell you how many times I've heard, "I don't wear gold".  It's like the fear of the 80's is returning, planning to take you back to crazy town, and make you the mayor.  Gold is not a bad thing people.  It is actually quite pretty.  A simple gold earring is all you need to take a baby step in the right direction.

2. Make a Statement
I've used this line before, but buying a bold piece can change a look instantly.  Try a fun necklace with a basic T-shirt and jeans.  You won't be disappointed.

3. Layer your Bracelets and Necklaces.
Pull all of your jewels together and practice layering.  Layer anything and everything.  Mix cheap and expensive.  No one will notice the difference.

4. Get Personal
Try a piece that reminds you of your husband, grandparents, parents, kids, or whatever gives you the warm fuzzies.  Wear it around your neck to keep them close to your heart or wear as a bracelet and see Tip #3.

It is okay to switch things up.  You don't have to wear the ring or necklace that your husband gave you on your anniversary EVERY day.  You don't have to wear your kids birthstones EVERY day - I'm sure you will not forget about them if you wear another piece of jewelry.  Have fun with it and try something new today!
