Adding Color to Your Outfit

I love a monochromatic outfit. There’s something about dressing in one color—or keeping everything neutral—that always feels simple, classic, and pulled together.

But sometimes it needs just a little something. That’s when I turn to my jewelry—Add Your Color with Jewelry

One of my favorite styling tricks is to keep my clothing simple and add a pop of color through a beautiful stone necklace. Lately, I’ve been reaching for my Amazonite Necklace.

The soft blue-green tones add just enough color without taking over the outfit. I especially love amazonite because its mix of blues, greens, creams, and natural variations makes it surprisingly easy to wear—sometimes that little bit of color is all an outfit needs.

Layer Color with Your Everyday Gold

I especially love wearing the Amazonite Necklace layered with my Wendy Necklace.

You already know how much I love the Wendy. It’s one of those necklaces I reach for almost every day. Pairing the two gives me the best of both worlds: the warmth and shine of gold with that soft pop of color from the amazonite. And you don't need lots of necklaces to create a great layered look—Sometimes two really good pieces are all you need.

Don't Forget Your Bracelet Stack

You can use the same idea on your wrist. If you love an all-gold bracelet stack, try adding one colorful beaded bracelet.

I love adding my Amazonite Bracelet alongside my gold bracelets. That little touch of blue-green breaks up the gold and gives the entire stack a fresh look without losing the classic feel I love.

It's also such an easy way to experiment with color if you normally stick to gold jewelry.

You don't have to change your whole look.

What If I Want to Wear All Gold?

I have a little tip for that, too. 😉

If I'm wearing a monochromatic outfit and want to keep all of my jewelry gold, I'll add interest somewhere else. One of my favorites? An animal-print belt.

I think of animal print almost as a neutral. It adds pattern and personality to a simple outfit without competing with my jewelry. Then I can wear all the gold I want!

Margie’s Style Tip

The next time you're wearing an all-white, all-black, navy, cream, or another monochromatic outfit, take a look in the mirror before adding another layer of clothing. Try adding a little color with your jewelry instead.

And if you're normally an all-gold girl, start small. Add one colorful bracelet to your stack and see what happens. You might be surprised by how much you love it.

Now I'm curious... Are you more likely to add color with your clothes—or with your jewelry?

I'd love to hear how you do it.
