Glam it up with jewelry!

Accessories are a great way to show off your personality and style, and turn basic clothing into special statements. Here are few guidelines on every woman’s favorite finishing touch, jewelry.

The more basic your outfit, the more jewelry you can wear.
If your jewelry doesn’t feel totally comfortable and effortless then you have too much on.
Jewelry should never overcome the look.
Your accessories should never wear you, you are the star.
Always group the same type of jewelry together.

Tip from Coco Chanel

Always give yourself a final check in front of a full length mirror. If your eye goes right to the piece you are wearing, take it off.

Earrings

If earrings are more than one inch in length, you should always skip the pendant.

Bracelets

Wear more than one on your wrist, but employ a color or theme for the chicest look. Pair a couple with your watch. Coordinate design or colors.
Wrap a necklace around your wrist several times to create a “multi strand” look.

Pearls

Always a classic, update your pearls by adding a pendant for a less traditional look.

Jewelry Sensitivity

If your earrings, necklace, or bracelet leave your ear lobes and skin itchy and red, you may have an allergy to nickel. It’s a metal used to add strength to jewelry and can cause swelling and a rash.

Remedies

Coat jewelry with clear nail polish.
Treat your skin with Evening Primrose Oil. It acts like a natural topical steroid at relieving skin itching and redness. Use it regularly, especially when wearing nickel filled jewelry.
