The Top 5 Jewelry Items that Every Woman Must Have!

BY ERIN BITZAN www.chicks-magazine.com

Jewelry, like clothing, has a practical side, but its true worth lies in what our jewelry expresses about us. We choose pieces time and time again that are both meaningful and make us feel fabulous. When it comes to building a jewelry wardrobe, it’s best to start with the basics.

Studs: Diamonds are a girl’s best friend; but pearls are pretty friendly on a budget. Whether you choose diamonds or pearls, studs are the perfect complement to any outfit. They look polished at work and classic for everyday. It’s the simple details that pull an ensemble together.

Hoops: Dressed up or pared down, hoops compliment whatever style you desire. Yellow gold, white gold, platinum, or sterling silver: hoops can make a very sexy statement when your hair is swept up, adorning exposed earlobes or subtly chic when thrown on with jeans and a t-shirt. longnecklace

A Long Necklace: Worn long, an attention-grabbing chain can elongate your torso and instantly update an outfit. A statement necklace with a simple ensemble looks stunning. If possible, the same necklace wrapped twice around the neck can change the look dramatically. A piece of jewelry that can function as two separate looks deserves twice the budget. Some of today’s hottest looks include long, luxurious colored pearls or crisp copper chain styles.

Two for one: Two fabulous rings for one fabulous woman! A signature ring worn often expresses your personal, unique style—bridal rings included. A right-hand, cocktail ring isn’t just for happy hour anymore. An oversized bauble can make a major fashion statement. Just remember, they’re called statement rings for a reason…keep your hands off other distracting accessories and keep the rest of your outfit simple.

A fashion-forward watch: A watch isn’t just a timepiece, it counts as jewelry, too. Flatter your other jewelry by choosing a metal that coordinates with the watchband. Try metals such as pink gold, a modern choice if you wear white or yellow gold. Watches should be comfortable but fashionable and versatile enough to accommodate your various outfit changes. If you’re feeling adventurous, try something unexpected: big is in! You don’t have to spend a lot to get a lot of look.

www.chicks-magazine.com Chicks Magazine was created by Tracy Zwilling, the owner of Trace Design, an advertising design agency that specializes in custom publishing. Tracy was tired of magazines that kept telling her she wasn't thin enough, she was not a successful enough, her kids were not well adjusted and her home was not organized and coordinated. In fact, Tracy thought her life was going smoothly when most of the laundry was done (though not necessarily put away), her kids did not eat frozen pizza more than three nights a week and most of the sticky notes on her desk at work were thrown away by the end of the day (on purpose, not by accident). Chicks Magazine is not a magazine that answers any of life's great questions. The articles and stories in Chicks Magazine are fun, light-hearted and not so serious. But once in a while you might come away with a piece of advice or some insight that will make your day easier and your step a little lighter.
