How to wear night jewelry during the day


all rights reserved, not my photo
 Most people have that necklace or bracelet that they wear only at nights, be it pandora or diamonds or other. But there is a way you can bring the bling (like what i did there?) out of hiding and wear it during the day. The key is to mix and match untill you find a conmbination fo jewelry that you would wear every day and your glam stuff. For example wear your pearls with some costume jewelry, a set of different coloured beads or just put it on for a bit of a boost. Wear that high-end cuff with 2 bangles in similar but different colours/shades. Its all about matching it to what your wearing, how your feeling anf where your going. As you can see , left, shes worn a very intricate , sparkling necklace with a reasonabley plain beaded necklace wrapped around a few times. Its little tricks like this eg. wrapping the necklace round twice and putting another one over the top or putting a long necklace and a short necklace together. Keep playing around untill you find a match, but don't be scared to wear jewelry during the day. You only live once.

Canvas shoes/converse

I love canvas shoes whether they are flat pumps or ankle covering converse. I think they go with everythhing within reason :D This post is just about why you should wear them, what with and where to get them xx

Why?
I think you should get some canavs shoes/ drag those converse out the back of the wardrobe because they are allways in. Its such a simple look to pull off and its really casual and comfy but they look good. You can get them in all different styles/shapes/colours/sizes and on converse.com you can even design your own! inr. You can wear them everywhere and with everything, plus they are super cheap depending on whether you like brands etc... so theres no excuse , no matter what your style, there are some canvas shoes out there to suit you.

Where from?

What with?
Ok so i personally like to wear convers/pumps with skinny jeans. But everyone has different styles.
Girlie
If your more girly take a flowery summer dress or dress with a mix of bright colours and either pair it with coloured tights and converse in a neutral colour(or knee high socks) or you could wear plain tights and wear converse in a colour that matches your dress eg yellow converse for a summer yellow dress <3.Wear chunky jewellery and an asortment of bangles and bracelets.
Bold
celeb inspiration Kristen stewert from lovestoryrain.blogspot.com
If you have a bold style get some converse in super bright colours/colour and wear with an outfit amde up of lots of different bright colours. This integrates a hot trend-colour blocking-and it still keeps the unique statement look you were aiming for :) Add some brightly coloured wrist wear-neon watches, bangles- too one arm to make it lok thrown on but cool.
Casual
For a casual style wear a tank top/band t-shirt, skinny jeans and some black/purple/pink converse. Add a few wrist bands liek you get from concerts or charities and mabye a bead necklace- a long strand one, or layer them up to make it look really cool.
Concert
For a concert type outfit wear a band t-shirt and either a highwaisted skirt/shorts&tights or skinnies. On top of that you could put a chunky knit jumper/cardigan or a tailored jacket such as a blazer or cynched in leather jacket. Have some converse on obiously ;) because they are comfy and cool either in a colour that matches your outfit or a bright colour so that you and you friends stand out and can find each other. For jewellery add a few bracelets and a necklace but nothing too major coz youll be jumping around .
Comfy
If your lounging around or just nipping into town have on an over sized cardigan , old t-shirt, shorts&tights/leggings and converse on. Loop an old scarf aorund your neck and wear a basic charm bracelet. Maybe a head band too .
