Hello once again, my Lovelies! Hope you're all having a great Monday. Today's post is going to be about accessories--I have a YouTube subscriber by the name of Ginikkie that asked me about my jewelry accessories: where I get them, how to wear them and such. I was originally going to post a video in response to her query, but since I am currently having some issues with my vid-cam software (GGGRRRR!) I thought I would answer her questions here.
First, I just gotta say that I really LOVE my accessories--earrings, rings, scarves, bracelets, nail polish (yes, nail polish is an accessory!), necklaces and anything else that can be classified as such. Here are a couple of pics of some of my favorite jewelry accessories:
I absolutely LOVE this cuff bracelet/earring set! Looks so vintage-y (is that a word?) and so elegant. If I remember correctly, I got this from JC Penny about three years ago, and they weren't even sold together as a set! I got the bracelet first for less than $15, and then went back several weeks later and found the matching earrings for less than $10! The taupe-y color in an antiqued gold setting goes with just about everything....
Next, we have some random topaz-colored chandelier earrings (not sure from where, they were a gift) and several of my favorite rings. Chandelier earrings are probably my favorite style--I have a gagillion of them! Sorry the picture doesn't do justice to the rings: the big flower one I purchased from Burlington Coat Factory for about $8.00; the pearl ring and the two C.Z. rings I acquired from Sears for less than $8.00 a piece and the smoky colored ring was given to me by my daughter for Mother's Day last year--it's an Avon piece.
More cuff bracelets! (Yes, I LOVE my bracelets, too!) The silver one was found at Walmart, of all places--clearance for $5.00! The green, gold and plum necklace was a find at Burlington Coat Factory also (has a matching stretch bracelet that I didn't photograph), as well as the black sparkle bangle (I know, you can't see the sparkles on this one.)
As far as where to find such pieces, I can't really give you a definite place; as you can tell from my descriptions, I find my pieces all over the place. I even have a pair of antique gold filigree earrings that I found several years ago in a thrift store; they are real gold and very thin and delicate--cost on those was less than $5.00 (a steal!). You really just have to look and be sure that you know what kind of look you prefer. I like my jewelry to not "look cheap" even though price-wise I haven't spent much money on it. I like my look to be classic for the most part rather than trendy, as I will probably be wearing these pieces for at least several years to come. As for how to wear these pieces--yes, I will often wear a pair of chunky or "big" (statement wise) earrings with a large cuff bracelet or bangle and a ring, but if I have the bracelet on the left wrist, I will wear the ring on the right hand so as to balance the "weight" of all the pieces. I am almost never without a pair of earrings on at the very least; I feel "naked" if my earrings aren't in place. Then, I build from there. So how 'bout it Lovelies, how do you rock your jewelry? Until next time, blessings, hugs and peace!
