Accessories:
the golden touch of fashion!
Spotlighting: Earrings
Step aside diamond studs and basic, big hoops because what
used to be simple ear jewelry is now a major force in the world of accessories!
With the latest designs surfacing and reaching the
mainstream appeal, it’s safe to say that earrings have made a dramatic jump
from a simple ear ornament to one of the most important and vital components of
a fierce ensemble.
For example, outside of the juicy drama, one would be crazy
to ignore the electrifying earrings on VH1’s hit, Basketball Wives, worn by
Jennifer Williams and Evelyn Lozada, who due to the popular demand of her
pieces seen on the show, currently has her own jewelry line in the works!
Another look that is heightened by a great pair of earrings
is the natural hair look! A proud member of #TeamNatural (for my Twitter heads...lol)
myself, I feel that my overall look is not complete until I don the biggest
pair of earrings I own! My outfit is not only a head-turner but I’m left with
this uncontrollable feeling of fierceness!
While some outfits require a simple stud, in order to pull those
all together, the bigger, the better so whether they’re blinged-out, feathered,
looped or chandeliered, don’t be afraid to show off your extravagant ear pieces
and work the crowd!!
**WARNING** In
order to avoid receiving a citation from the fashion police, please understand
that while wearing earrings of large, vibrant magnitudes can be very funky and fun,
there are a few rules that you need to be aware of!!
1) Be
mindful of the size of your earrings based on the style of shirt you wear. For
example, the type of earrings that you wear with a turtleneck-style top may be
different than what you would wear with a cow-neck top or dress!
2) Understand
that every earring is not to be worn with every hairstyle!! If you can, play
around with up-dos and on/past-the-shoulder styles to see what earrings fit
your hairstyle and the shape of your face! You don’t want to look like you have
entirely too much going on!
Finally…
3) Be confident!! For some, wearing big
earrings can be a big step may take some time getting used to. If you are not
used to the added attention that you will receive, know that you are working it
and as long as you hold your head up high and strut your pumps, you be fine; I
guarantee it!
