ALL IN THE DETAILS: Ice It Out

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” How many countless times have we heard this? Even though we may not all agree with that statement, a little shine can never hurt. That’s why when I spotted this Fashionista’s outfit, I knew I had get a closer look. Upon doing so, two things stood out to me: the simplicity and the glamorous accessories.

For her look, she opted for an effortless chic feel by stylishly combining neutrals with a nice   bold red lip. She dashes a bit of personal flair by wearing a blouse that gives a flirty sneak peek of her shoulders. To keep warm, she threw on a long knit cardigan and knee-high boots in khaki.

Now, to my favorite part, the diamonds. She took her ensemble up a notch by pairing it with a cute heart-shaped necklace and beautiful ring. It’s small and simple, but they’re just as gorgeous. A statement piece, even if they’re tiny, can elevate your style and express your individuality without having to say anything.

How can you achieve this laid back, cool look? Try opting for a simple style or silhouette, and pair it with a quiet print or solid colors. That way, the jewelry you choose to be your statement piece will stand out enough and not be crowded out. Whether it be a brooch, necklace, earrings, or bracelet, these eye-catching additions can boost your confidence a lot.

It can be hard to get your hands on these pieces with a student budget, but do not fear. When you’re shopping, it helps to take focus off price and put it on look. There are so many great finds at your local thrift or bargain stores. I mean, if you can achieve your desired look and pay a quarter of the price, why not?

Diamond or not, jewelry is a great way to add pizzazz and personal touch to your wardrobe. Experiment with some styles and colors in order to find out what works best for you.
