Perfectly Preppy....Jewelry

Those statement pieces still stole the runway, even for 2013. Adding jewelry to any outfit can complete the look and this simple rule should never be overlooked. When really bringing an outfit together it is more than just about the clothes, it incorporates ever aspect – especially jewelry! Jewelry can change any look with the link of a hook. From a meeting to a night out, same clothes – different jewelry – it’s that easy!

Pearls have always been a classic go-to in the preppy world. However, there is a completely new spin on the old design – colors on pearls, broches on pearls, pearls on pearls. Whether you have old pearls you can layer or buy an already layered pair, pearls are absolutely in! From coral colors to sparkles, you will see them everywhere this season – oh and they will be a staple in your closet for a lifetime.

Statement earrings are a simple way to make a big impression and are sure to get you noticed.  They use to be worn mainly to formal affairs or going out at night; however, this hot trend is shifting to the day as well. Except, you must wear them correctly at the appropriate time. During the day, if you choose to a statement earring, be sure not to mix with other bold pieces – you never want to look over done for the office or class. For the night, when you are feeling daring, break this rule – along with others – and wear the statement earring with other bold pieces.

However, when wearing a statement earring you must also think about the clothes you choose – be simple. This rule especially applies for the daytime outfits but add a fun-matching clutch and heels to up any look from day to night!
