Jewelry - Easy way to update your wardrobe




Jewelry is a great way to jazz up any outfit. A simple thing like great earrings or a giant faux stone ring can add pop. Here are some examples of what will be hot in the upcoming months:


Big and bold ornaments are in this season. Embellished pieces having drama and making a major statement will be what to wear in 2011 . Large metal pieces such as giant link necklaces and bracelets will be very modern looking and bring your total look into style.


Antique vintage jewelry mixed with modern pieces will give you a very unique and chic look. Check your local consignment stores and yard sales for some interesting vintage stuff to mix and match with your new pieces.


Necklaces are definitely in. Maybe you've seen some of the long bib-style necklaces around in magazines or in the department stores. These are must have items. Also, look for one-of-a-kind artsy pieces that are interesting; this Bohemian kind of look will also be very desirable.


Bold bracelets have been around for a while, and they are staying for 2011, too. Try the large, chunky Lucite bangle bracelets for a clean and updated look.


Some other styles you should consider are ethnic looks, Venetian art glass, faux and real pearls and huge over-the-top-rings. For your ears, large chandeliers and hoops will make any outfit look fabulous.


Also, anything "green" and "eco" is definitely new and a great conversation starter, as well as a way to be kind to the planet. You will see this jewelry popping up all over, and it will be made from recycled newspaper, milk cartons, auto parts and everything else you can think of.


Jewelry can be purchased at all price points, and it is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to make an outfit really stand out. A plain white top is just a plain white top until you add a huge metal necklace or a great bracelet to the look. Take a look at some magazines, and then visit some stores and try on some fabulous jewelry to create a look that is truly yours!
