what to wear: start with your jewelry
One way to create a look that is pulled together? Start with your jewelry.
This Mother’s Day, you may be lucky and receive a great piece of jewelry from Coco Blanca. When we don’t pick out our own accessories, it can be difficult to figure out how to wear such unique pieces other than with a basic t-shirt. This particular necklace has a combination of leather cording, pearls and polished semi-precious stones. Many times we opt to wear this sort of necklace with white or black, but the natural colors of this piece can start to give you clues to other great options.
When creating this look, I took into consideration the leather cording of the necklace and picked it up in the pants. The silk top echoed the polished stone pendant. The entire look was feeling very reminiscent of the ocean so I chose to pop the Caribbean ocean in the earrings. For me, style is about the unexpected and imperfect selections we make. The obvious choice would be pearls but by adding the pop of green-blue, your look becomes more interesting to the eye and less contrived. The result is a combination of pieces you may never have considered without first starting with your jewelry!
