The easiest way to take your outfit from zero to a hundred is with a little bit of sparkle and shine. It’s easy to put on a tank top and shorts and then over-accessorize, but this Fashionista has found the perfect balance of bling to vamp up an everyday outfit. It’s perfect for those Fridays when you need to run to class, grab lunch with a friend, power through some homework and then go out after a long week of classes; all without changing a million times!
The base of this outfit consists of a loose-fitting, gray tank in a fun cut paired with some garnet chino shorts (bonus points for USC school spirit). It is a comfortable choice, which is perfect for the southern heat and a busy day of class, while it still looks put together. For shoes, she chose some adorable, gold Jack Rogers flip flops which coordinate perfectly with her fun, gold and earth tone jewelry!
This Fashionista has made the focal point of her outfit her earthy-gem necklace. It falls far enough down on her chest that it lays over the neckline of her shirt, making it stand out more so than it would over her skin if it were higher up. The gray background provides a neutral setting for the central, shiny amber gem in her necklace. Also, the muted green shades of the rest of the stones in the necklace maintain the muted, natural look of the necklace. It is central to the outfit because of the extra detail it provides as a little flash of shine and glitz. To go along with the necklace, she is wearing three little sets of earring studs. They’re gold and garnet, which perfectly match her shorts and flip flops and reflect the tones and colors of her necklace. I absolutely love the intricate, little, delicate studs that keep the boho look present, but not overdone.
With this look, it is really all in the details. The style of her delicate, earthy, boho jewelry overlaid on a basic outfit makes it perfect for almost any occasion because it looks very put together yet casual. The accessories are not overdone or too flashy, but they are just enough to provide the outfit with some glitzy character and personality without being uncomfortable or bulky with too many gemstones.
How To: Pick out a comfy, basic outfit tailored to the weather wherever you are, then accessorize accordingly! Keep it minimal and natural with a gemstone necklace and delicate studs for a look that will take you through every phase of your busy day.
