Style Tip of the Day:  How to Brighten Your Outfit

With a black or white outfit, wear turquoise statement earrings or necklaces.

This is personally my favorite way to add a pop of color. I love black and tend to have lots of it in my wardrobe even though it isn’t the most flattering with my coloring. And a column of black (black top with black bottom or just a black dress) is an easy base for a topper such as a jacket, cardigan, kimono or duster. So an easy way to bring color near the face and keep the black a little further away from it is to add some beautiful turquoise jewelry — or even a scarf.

An example of how to brighten your outfit is to add a multi-strand necklace of turquoise beads, a long turquoise pendant and sandals to a black or white maxi dress.

If you prefer, you can use red or coral or another bright shade of blue. But turquoise is the classic most used.

You can choose any turquoise jewelry; it doesn’t have to be genuine turquoise stones. Your jewelry could be turquoise tassels, feathers, cords, beads of any sort or whatever else you may have.

Turquoise earrings go with anything. They’re especially striking with a black outfit. So don’t reserve turquoise for days only. They can go really well with lace, too.
