Dressing up with jewelry seems simple, but it’s important to keep in mind the vibe of your outfit. Consider your use of cool and warm tones, what color matches your skin tone the best, and how you can bring something to the outfit without taking away from your natural beauty.

Dress Down 

Accessories can be key to wearing something you feel fashionable in while keeping it a bit more casual. 

One of the best ways to take a high end outfit and make it more casual is with the help of shoes. Adding sneakers to a suit look, flip flops with shorts, or slippers with jeans can dress down an outfit while keeping you looking fashionable. Keeping up with new trends is a great way to take some of your classic closet favs and styling them in ways you haven't before.

• Sandals 
• Sneakers 
• Running Shoes 
• Slip Ons 
• High Tops 
• Slippers 

Whether you are going to the beach, out to lunch, or into the city, adding layers to your ensemble will give you another opportunity to show off your unique style and set the vibe of your look.
