1. Your jewelry should be versatile.
When looking to add jewelry to my collection, I'm looking at pieces that will give me more bang for my buck. I don't have the means to buy a different piece of jewelry for every outfit that I own and wear, so I need pieces of jewelry that can be worn in different ways and with different outfits. Can this necklace be worn at different lengths? Can this ring be stacked with another one? Can this bracelet also be worn as a necklace or vice versa? Can these earrings be worn with earring enhancers or cuffs, or can the colors be changed?
2. Your jewelry should compliment your outfit and your body features.
Your jewelry should not overpower YOU! Jewelry should draw the eye, but not take the focus off of who we are and our natural beauty! Layering necklaces can add much style to an outfit, as long as it doesn't become "too busy". Also, pay careful attention to the length of necklaces that you wear. We don't want to appear as if we don't have a neck.
3. Your jewelry should be fun!
Oh how I love how jewelry can offer dimension! It can show off our personalities, and who we are! Do you like bright colors? Add pops of color to a more simple outfit with a fun necklace or fun bracelets! Do you like sparkle like I do? Rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets with diamonds/CZs or other gemstones are for YOU! Do you prefer the more simple things in life? Find dainty pendants on smaller, less chunky chains that you love - maybe hearts, arrows, anchors, or one single pearl. Let your jewelry be a window to your soul - let it show just who you are and what you love!
4. Your jewelry should match the occasion!
You likely wouldn't wear the same necklace to a football game that you would wear to a wedding. Similarly, you likely wouldn't wear big, chunky, colorful earrings to prom unless your dress is big and bold. Be mindful of how your jewelry matches the occasion - is an event more casual or formal? Your jewelry should follow suit.
