Jewel of the Nile

Good Morning! We hope you're enjoying le matin! Today we have a big topic to cover so finish eating your Wheaties and drink those last sips of OJ because our FASHION FIXATION du jour is, Jewelry: the top 10 must haves!
We love jewelry. Bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, watches, everything. All of these pieces are essential to any fashionista's wardrobe due to the fabulous fact that they add personality and flare to any ensemble. Before presenting all of you with our list, there are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for your jewelry. Those things are color, size, practicality, personality, and cost.
Color: enough to add a pop but not too much that it is overbearing- a color that you can wear often and that goes with a lot- don't forget: silver or gold?
Size: too big is too much, it is usually easy to tell but think; if your necklace has bobbles and beads that are the sizes of golf balls, it may not be the most flattering piece.-small jewelry usually works, it is dainty, delicate, and pretty.
Practicality: jewelry should not be a "one hit wonder" (trendy and well-priced jewelry is an acceptable exception, however)
Personality: unique and eye-catching
Cost: if the jewelry is an investment piece, (one that you will own for more than 2 years and will be worn often) a higher price can be justified- if it is just an addition to your collection, keep a low price point in mind
**Now for the Top 10 Must Have Jewelry Items!**
1. Silver and Gold (necklaces, earrings: hoops and studs, bracelets, rings)
2. necklace with WHITE in it
3. bold statement necklace (should sit on the collar bone or should have dramatic length/design)
