Tips & Tricks | December 11, 2013

Pulling It All Together

I was working with a client in her closet recently and I had an, “Oh, I’m so posting about this!” moment.  You guys have told me that you like the “styling tips”, and I thought this one was definitely worth sharing.

My client and I were putting together outfits and I kept going back to this one black and gold pendant necklace.  It just seemed to perfectly complete and pull together so many outfits! Here’s why- if you look at my outfit above as a piece of art (ok, it’s sooo not but hold on, hear me out) and you’re trying to get the composition right, your goal would be for your eye to keep moving.  So, imagine a piece of art with a black spot on the bottom (shoes) and black spot on the top (sweater), you’d probably want a little black in the middle to keep your eye moving. That’s why the pendant was the perfect addition to my outfit!  It’s like Santa’s black belt, you see what I’m saying?!?!

And the ring just keeps the eye moving, too -ha!  Well, when Kendra Scott invited me to check out their new collection and I saw these two pieces, I knew they were exactly what I’d been looking for. And, who doesn’t love Kendra Scott?!  Check out the bottom of the post for some Christmas ideas for yourself. 🙂

I love how the gold and black in the necklace and ring tie in the animal print flats.  Just imagine the cream blouse without the Kendra Scott necklace. It would be fine, but the black pendant pulls it all together, no?

>And here, the gold in the necklace ties in the Uggs and the black just looks neat.

I had to include this picture because it cracks me up.  I look like I’m posing for Olan Mills with my hand on my chin.  I was trying to show you guys the pretty ring and instead it just looks contrived -hahaha!

I love these pieces from Kendra Scott and they would be the perfect treat for you this Christmas! I hope you guys liked this styling tip, even if it was a little lengthy… artwork yata yata yata-ha!

      My husband wasn’t familiar with Olan Mills so I’m so glad you could appreciate the caption!

    Great tips friend! And I love the Kendra Scott pieces!
    But listen, if you want to be vintage Olan Mills, you need a wicker chair. 🙂
