March Fashion Tips

1. Stacked bracelets and necklaces continue to be a popular jewelry trend. Try wearing a plain silver or gold chain framed by a longer colorful bead necklace.

2. Stacking bracelets and wearing a 3/4 lenght sleeve has a slimming affect.

3. Wide cuff bracelets are an option if you don't want to stack / wear multiples on your wrist.

4. Mix up metals and other materials. Groups are more interesting if they don't match. Don't be afraid to wear gold and silver together or different colors.

5. Wear contrasting shapes all the time if you have a round body build.

6. Anything dangling, such as earrings, make a body silhouette appear slim.

7. Jewelry is an effective focal point of the viewer's eye to distract attention away from any body flaws.

8. Gold tones fit almost any skin color.

9. Mixing real diamonds with fake diamonds will make the real diamonds look fake.

10. Turquoise jewelry looks great with an orange shirt / blouse.

I Have Nothing To Wear!!!

How many times have you gone to your closet and thrown your arms in the air saying, “I have nothing to wear”? Let’s be honest, ladies, we’ve all been there. But a stranger walking into your closet would probably see a closet overflowing with clothes and think you had lost your mind.

In reality, it’s probably not that you have nothing to wear, rather it’s more a problem of being ACCESSORY DEPRIVED. Repeat after me, ladies, "I DO have clothes to wear and I don't need a closet full of clothes to pull together a fabulous outfit". Nothing makes an outfit work better than the right accessories.

All you really need in your wardrobe are a few basic pieces, such as a simple pair of black or gray slacks and/or skirt, a pair of khakis, a nice pair of jeans, a white button-up blouse, a few solid color tops with or without a coordinating jacket. From there, you can make a variety of outfits with different pieces of jewelry … gold, silver, two-toned, copper, beads, pearls or bling … your choices are limitless!!!

You can wear a simple chain or stack several necklaces together for a completely different look. The same can be done with bracelets. It's said that stacking bracelets has a slimming affect, so give it a shot and see how it works for you.

Until next time ladies, remember that you always have something to wear as long as you have the right accessories!!
