Sometimes you look in your closet, or in your drawers, and can't find one thing you're happy with. You liked the outfit when you saw it, it looked great in the magazine, it was wonderful when you 1st wore it!
What's changed? - sometimes just your taste for that day. Take a plain black top, and white slacks. Going out for lunch, or to meet with friends? Take a piece of art along with you.
Bring out your skin tone in the summer months with a rich coral, maybe set in copper, or sterling, or a warm turquoise, with the dazzle of silver. Gold and agate can bring a glow to your coloring, and nothing says pampered, and lovely like the luxury of lapis lazuli and the cornucopia of tourmaline.
Wear a piece that's uniquely you, and your outfit comes alive. Listen to the compliments fly, and appreciate that snappy little outfit you loved before, as it takes on new excitement. Dress up browns and tans w/warm green, or tanzenite, or both. Aqua also works well with tanzenite and makes a current statement in fashion do's.
Go into your closet, and then your jewelry box, and reclaim your outfits with pizazz!
