Looking Your Best in Sparkle and Shine

Balance the sparkle in your clothing with your jewelry. For example, a silver and pearl necklace would go with a sequin tank, but not a necklace with its own sequins or glitter.

Limit your "bling points" to 3. Bling points are places on your body where you could wear something sparkly, such as ears, neck, hands, feet, and your dress, top, skirt or pants. Don't let every one of the points sparkle, spread them out and keep it to only 3 total. (From the late fashion editor Charla Krupp)

It's OK to mix metallics, such as gold, silver, bronze and copper. For example, dark bronze metallic shoes can go with a silver top. Golds and silvers can go together. Colored jewels look beautiful with metallic fabrics.

Use color sparingly with metallics, glitter and sequins. If you're wearing one glittery piece, like a top, mix it with only one color. Black always works, and it can be combined with one other color in addition to your sparkly piece.


Have fun looking and feeling your best this season!
