What are you wearing this weekend?



What are you wearing this weekend? The question you always ask friends so you know how to dress appropriately. Think of the outfits you always admire on other women…what is it about them that is always so impressive? 9 times out of 10, it is because they are perfectly accessorized!

How do you learn this artful talent? Buy magazines? Take a class? Or simply…subscribe to this blog, and learn everything you ever wanted to know about always looking perfect, even when you don’t feel perfect.

Speaking of not looking perfect…I have a pants around the ankles story for you! But we’ll get to that later, today’s topic is this weekend!

What jewelry do you take on vacation? Specifically, the beach. The beach is not the time to be wearing your flashy jewelry; it makes you look like you can't relax. The whole point of going on vacation is to come home looking carelessly, refreshed, and relaxed. Of course you want that look when you are ON vacation, and you don't want to come across as uptight.

Basics for the beach; have your casual sterling silver pieces, and white metal pieces, (if you wear yellow gold, you don't want them diamond encrusted unless it's your engagement ring) pieces that are hammered or satin, or handmade finishes. The beach is nature, so bring the pieces that are more natural looking. Beach colors: blue topaz, aquamarine, and quartz; (especially earrings), will go really well at the beach.

Don't wear your good jewelry! I have heard countless stories of women who have worn and lost. All it takes is one wave, and earrings GONE. If you do wear it, is it insured? Also, make sure your rings fit!

Accessorizing on vacation is all about fun! Wearing the pieces you might not wear at home, and letting the “once a year” feeling of those pieces radiate through your attitude. Jewelry will complete the outfit, how you feel completes the moment.
