With careful choice of accessories you can update classic outfits and thus avoid the need to change your entire wardrobe on a regular basis. There is an enormous choice of jewellery available at prices to suit all pockets.
Accessories are a way of expressing yourself or brightening up a neutral outfit. Going back to the pewter shift dress
DG Men T-shirts, it is immediately "lifted" by the edition of the red beads. Using accessories can transform a black dress, particularly if you are "soft", "warm" or "light" and should really avoid black. By wearing a scarf or jewellery in one of your most flattering colours, it will add an instant glow to your complexion.
Imagine a simple pewter shift dress. I have chosen pewter because this is a colour that suits everybody. Now add a pair of knee high boots, black leather handbag, fitted jacket and a simple pendant necklace and stud earrings and you have a smart work outfit.
Out, I say! One; two, why then 'tis time to do't. My skin is murky. Okay, probably not exactly how the Bard would have written it, but I would bet it's exactly what Lady Macbeth was trying to say. Men always misinterpret women
Jordan 9 Fusion, why is that?Of course her skin was murky! After 35, even with the best of home care, you have to know when to call in the professionals. Being a diva, I've been taking care of mine since my teens. Years of acne taught me that early
Air Max 87 Women Shoes! Sadly I spent much of my wasted youth tanning and sun bedding. Remember when those first beds came out? Year round bronze beauty.That's why so many of us look like handbags today. In my case a badly mottled one.
The accessories need to be appropriate for the occasion. At work it would be inappropriate to wear ostentatious jewellery and excessively pendulous earrings. Equally the type of jewellery you may wear with casual clothes will be very different from formal wear.
Some women favour gold over silver and vice versa. On some women gold will stand out against their skin and silver will blend with their colouring or the reverse. I would not suggest that you should stick to one or the other, just consider the effect your skin colouring has on the jewellery and in turn the effect it has on your overall appearance.
Now imagine teaming the dress with an elegant pair of black stilettos and a simple gold chain necklace and perhaps a gold watch and gold earrings or with red patent heeled shoes and handbag, a string of red beads and the look is completely different. The same dress can be quickly transformed into evening wear with a few minor changes.
Accessories can be the making of an outfit. They can alter the overall look and even transform day wear to evening wear. Accessories are the detail that give character to your outfit and give you an opportunity to express your personality.
Melasma. Say it loud, say it proud. My face by mid-thirties looked like a shaded relief map of Asia. I won't go into a scientific definition of melasma, but it's a horrid condition of blotchy, brown areas all over your skin. It looks like Guerlain's Terracotta Summer Stones, except not blended or pretty. Melasma apparently loves all things Asian, African, Mediterranean, or Hispanic. Since I am a mixture of two of these groups, I get lots of love from Melasma. Not to say it discriminates, it likes white girls too. But you know us brown girls love to show how tan we get, and I could roast and toast with the best of them. Well bully for me because all I have to show for it is my multicolored face.
There are a few rules to consider when accessorizing an outfit. Consider the size of the necklace and earrings in proportion to your own build. A petite woman under 5'3" with a small bone structure would be overwhelmed by a string of large beads or big hooped earrings. If a tall woman wears a tiny pendant, it will be too small to make an impact. Remember; match the size of your jewellery to your size.
