Sometimes you see some jewelry that speaks to you. It's pretty with lots of colors, but you think....what on earth would I wear this with? Well, here are some ideas and examples based on my own experience with a particular bracelet.
In the 2009 Spring Collection, I created a bracelet duo called Flora and Fauna. At the time I just put together colors that seemed pretty together. I loved that bracelet, so made one for myself. <sly grin>. But what to wear it with? About a month later, I bought a shirt that I loved...with the same colors it turns out. I had the shirt on one day and was trying to figure out what jewelry to wear (I have to wear jewelry you know) and it dawned on me that the Flora bracelet might work. Bingo, it did! And nicely. So now I had an outfit to wear with the bracelet. Excellent.
But then one day when searching for jewelry to wear with an office outfit with similar colors but definitely not the same ones, again I thought about the Flora bracelet. It worked! I got many compliments at the office that day about how well the jewelry matched. Inspired by that occurrence, I tried again and found yet another office outfit that worked with the bracelet with colors in the same family but quite different.
So here are some things to think about. If you like a piece of jewelry for its colors, chances are you already like those colors. And if you like those colors, chances are you probably have some outfits that contain those colors. So go ahead, take a chance, and purchase the piece. I don't think you will be disappointed. When you get it home, hold it up to the outfits in your closet and see what looks interesting. It doesn't have to match. It should complement the colors. You might find some interesting combinations. You never know!
