Fall is in the air, winter is around the corner and accessories trends are beginning to appear everywhere you turn. Here is a list of looks that can work with any budget.
1. LAYERS, LAYERS, LAYERS!
Layering bracelets and necklaces is still a hot trend. Try: a base layer of gold and metallic flash tattoos, and finishing the look with a second layer of gold and diamond delicate bracelets.
2. A NOD TO THE 80’S
Simple, yet interesting, geometric styles create a sophisticated look that is bold, edgy and fun. Try: delicate geometric sizes.
3. HAVE FUN WITH A STUD!
A simple front and more detailed look on the back of the earlobe is a quick way to look stylish and innovative.
4. ORGANIC ISN’T JUST FOR FOOD.
Organic, raw stones can update a classic look. Wear very large stones for a bold look or very small and delicate organic stones for a simple and clean look. Try: diamond slices, and raw agate geodes.
5. BLACK AND GOLD ARE BFFs
Black and gold together, or even oxi silver with hints of gold – which is an affordable way of wearing gold – is a sexy contrast that is a home run every time. Try: gold midi rings with black nails.
