Statement Earrings


Dress: H&M, Shoes: Steve Madden (HERE), Denim Vest: Levi's, Lucite Bangles: R.I.C., Sunglasses: Gucci, Earrings: Amrita Singh (SIMILAR









Hey Loves,

Since my birthday is in a couple days, I spent the weekend getting the party started a little early. That meant dinners with my family, lounging with my friends, and collecting all sorts of pre-birthday gifts from my husband. One of my pre-birthday gifts were these amazing Amrita Singh drop earrings. Since these earrings are a statement all by themselves, I chose to pair them with minimal jewelry and a solid color dress. 

For me, statement earrings and necklaces always look best when left to shine on their own. Adding too many additional pieces of jewelry can muddle the impact of a really amazing statement piece. A good rule of thumb is to steer clear from wearing both a statement necklace and statement earrings at the same time. That way, no one loses sight of the real star of the show - your pretty face :)!

Looooovvveeeeee,
Jillian
