Statement Pieces

As we head into the Fall months and a new season begins, we need to think about our fashion choices for work, play, at home, or when we travel for business or pleasure. Don't waste your hard earned money on stuff that will go out of style within months, but buy a few good pieces that will last a lifetime and look good with whatever you choose to wear. You can mix and match styles but pay attention to patterns. Too much of any pattern is not a good thing. Stay in the same color schemes so your wardrobe will work together and you aren't left wondering what pants to wear with that weird pink top. Yes, splurge when you need to for sanity's sake, but don't get too carried away or you will walk into your closet and come out in tears. Here are a few examples of what I mean.

Daytime
Yes, genuine gems go with everything. Don't wear any huge chandelier pieces for daytime, but you get what I mean. Don't think you have to wear only fakes during the daytime if they are larger pieces. Bring out the real diamonds and precious stones and don't be ashamed or think you don't deserve to wear it. If anyone is rude and crass and asks you if it's real, say yes, and ask if that face they're wearing is real or if it's just a crude joke?

Leave the giant chandelier diamond jewelry for those special evenings or when you have an appointment on a red carpet. Otherwise, go for it. Wear the real gems day or night with any outfit. You can wear them with a boxy sweater top and jeans or a strand of pearls for the office. Don't hide those diamond solitaires, they will last a lifetime and are an investment well worth the price.
Evening

Yes, go for that Gucci and reach for Ralph Lauren. They are designs that are timeless classics whether you purchase the clothes, the handbags, luggage, etc. Hermes might be a bit out of most people's price range but hey, if you want a Birkin then get a Birkin. Life is to enjoy. If you end this life with any money left over, you didn't live right. No regrets, right?

Jane Birkin


The original Birkin bag was a simple woven basket that the famous model and actress carried everywhere. 

Remember to experiment with what works for you as you have fun developing your own unique style.
