Accessory do's and dont's

DO wear your accessories layered, mitch-match and creative as possible. If you want to wear a simple gold chain with a bold wooden piece and a couple strands of pearls, then go for it. Get lot of necklaces that are different lengths and a little kick to any plain old t shirt and jeans! Once again it comes down to a confidence thing, if you know it looks good then it will look good. And please dismiss that old myth that you cannot wear gold with silver, bold hardware is in so add any necklace in that you want to

DON'T go matchy matchy! Dismiss whatever thought process you have that makes you believe that you plastic neon jewelry has to match your neon screen tee to match your neon Jordan's it is a very common mistake. Alot of people mistake this for the retro hip-hop look.... it's NOT! Bring it down a notch, the inspiration is in the right direction but your matchy plastic neon bangles, hoops, and beaded necklace that looks like something thrown at a Mardi Gras parade has effectively derailed the plan and sent in an awful direction. And i am tired of hearing them bang together in class while you write please put them on the left hand!

DO rock the bohemian jewelry that is coming back. I love these hippie inspired pieces, they add a sense of style on the more lax days and it is something easy to throw on. Now some will disagree with me on this, but long earings with the small feather on it are so DOPE, especially when worn in only one ear... It makes me happy to see that!  

Ugh this looks so cheesy and ridiculous

 DON'T keep wearing these played out peace signs. There are very few people I truly believe can still pull them off now that they have been "urbanized." It seems that as soon as an item of clothing gets to Rue 21 its probably not long before that style goes down the drain, so I would strongly recommend staying away from the peace signs unless you have impecable style AND self confidence, otherwise it is very likely that look will just come off looking cheesy! 





*This time I will end on a positive note!!!!

DO rock vintage and retro inspired jewelry! It is so easy to do, grab some clip-ons for 99 cents at the thrift store. Forever 21 is a great place for vintage and retro styled jewelry as well, but be careful because if you liked it chances are 157 other girls at your school, job, or whatever it is you do have liked it as well! So be creative with it, mix and match layer it, whatever just make it you!
