Less Is More!

Is It Worth It?
Ok, bling is definately in when it comes to jewelry. But what is up with some of this jewelry that is extremely expensive! Some of it is in the hundreds of dollars! That's way too over the top. Of course we all agree it looks amazing and we would all love to have it, but there is plenty of stuff out there that will come pretty close to it that's under $100.

Strawberry Necklace...
Take a necklace for example, a yellow and rose gold necklace with pink sapphires strawberry pendant. It's also 14K so you can expect it's going to cost some MOOLA! Guess how much it is...$1,575! Now do you think it would be worth it to get this? I don't unless you wear it everyday of your life until you die...and even then it's a stretch. Why not get something more simple that looks very similar? This one on the left is very close and it's only around $20.

The Bracelet...
Or take a bracelet...some look so simple don't they? Yea, they're $400. Here's one though that is very elegant. It can go with anything! It's also only about $20.

Go For Less!
There is so much cute jewelry out there that we can buy that isn't in the hundreds of dollars. All of the jewelry that the stars wear is very cute, but why pay that much for it? We can find jewelry in our everyday life that looks so similar, people will think it's the real thing. Go for less, sometimes it can be more...

What Colors Do You See?


Color Wheel!!
I've recently learned what certain colors look good together by using something called a color wheel. It's actually pretty cool! You just pick a color and whatever color is across from it, that's the color that goes good with it! If you're having problems deciding what to put with a certain color, I would definitely recommend using one. You can look on the internet for one or you can go and purchase one. I've been experimenting with the colors that it says to go by and I'm actually doing miraculously well. I'm very pleased with the success I've been having.

Colors Affect Us
It's pretty amazing how much colors impact our everyday life. Colors mean all sorts of things! For example, did you know that blue is a believable color. If you're doing a presentation of some sort or speaking to someone for the first time, blue is a great color to wear. And of course when you go to a funeral, you always wear black. That's because it is a state of mourning. If you're in college, most professors favorite color is brown, so if you wanna' get on their good side, i recommend this color. Even rooms can change our mood. If you've ever noticed, bright rooms make people happy such as yellow, but darker rooms like a deep red can have a more depressing appearance. The colors yellow and red also make you hungry! Look at McDonald's colors, once again yellow and red...now there's something to think about. Some people think that colors are just colors, but it's been proven that they affect us in so many ways.

Know Your Colors!
Since I have learned this, I really have been more open to colors. They do affect your appearance. I recommend adding alot of color in your wardrobe and jewelry if you're usually used to dark colors. They say so much about you so you really want to be careful. If you're really concerned about what colors to mix and match together, use a color wheel! They're a great tool and extremely helpful. If you're interested in knowing what other colors mean, you should do research; it's very informative and its amazing how much of it is true!
