Statement jewelry is an excellent way to add a bit of drama to an otherwise basic look. The rule I always abide by is this: pick ONE statement item per look and build around that.
For example, I have on these super fun flamingo earrings:
I added a bold fuschia lip but kept everything else simple. No necklace, no crazy colorful bag or blouse. Too often I see someone wearing ALL the accessories at once. More often than not, style comes with simplicity. This idea of picking one main feature to stand out from an outfit also applies to makeup. If you’re wearing a bold lip- don’t do a dark smoky eye- it ends up looking too costumey. Do a statement lip OR a bold eye. Wear a fun necklace OR pick a pair of statement earrings. The trick is in the restraint. (Unless of course your thing is wearing all the bold things at once, and if that’s your own personal style, rock that.)
Keeping with that neutral theme, I wore nude sandals, my favorite jeans of all time, this simple scalloped tank, and this cute woven bag. The star of this look was the earrings and I wanted to showcase that.
Speaking of which, I purchased an extra pair of earrings to give away! a Rafflecopter giveaway

These earrings have been on my wishlist for a while but I had no idea what outfit to wear with them. Love how simple this outfit is with the surprise statement earrings!
Adriele, those are the cutest earrings ever! I love them!

Adriele, I adore the simplicity of this outfit. It is super sassy, too! And how cute are those earrings! I agree with you about the one statement piece.. Sometimes the earrings can be so over powering that a necklace is just too much. Great styling tip, for sure. But I also agree if you are an Iris Apfel type and want to rock all the statement pieces at once, you should totally go for it! Great look, great post.

I love those earrings!!!

So cute girl!
I love the earrings with that woven bag! I hope this trend doesn’t go away too quick!
At first glance I didn’t even notice they were flamingos! But once my eyes adjusted, so dang cute! And I’m sneaking out to the mercantile over lunch! Need a couple new pieces for our vacay! Hope they carry this tank or one of the colors in store!
So freaking cute!!!!! Love it all 🙂
I have loved those earrings ever since the first time I saw them on the BaubleBar site. They are so cute. I love this entire look and you right about simplicity. Beautiful! XO
