You can turn one little black dress into dozens of stylish looks fit for day or night with the right jewellery. Accessorizing with jewellery can complement and enhance any outfit. Expand your wardrobe and upgrade your basics by following these simple rules.
The Power of Colour
Match colours for a bold and vibrant look. Sport sapphire earrings with a brilliant blue toned jacket or sweater set. Make a colour statement by wearing ruby or garnet jewellery with a vivid red top or evening dress. Intensify warm colour shades like oranges and yellows with rose gold accent jewels. Matching clothing and jewellery colours can intensify your colour for unique and expressive effects.
Use complementary colours for a more dramatic colour story. Colours directly opposite one another on a colour wheel are known as “complementary colours” and they give the greatest colour contrast for your ensemble. Red and green, and blue and orange are examples of colour counterparts. Deep green stones in a necklace against a red top make each individual colour pop. Yellow gold worn with blue has a similar effect.
The Rule of “Opposites”
Opposites attracts – and enhances each other – when you are talking about fashion. One example is the pairing of “simple and complex” when talking about jewellery and clothing. If your dress is in an uncomplicated style and a neutral tone, big, bold jewellery in striking colours works best. If you are wearing

My personal favorite fashion styles are a throwback to the thirties when men’s suits were evolved to create the perception of a large 
torso. The shoulders were squared using wadding or believe it or not, shoulder pads and the sleeves were tapered to the wrist. Smart peaked lapels framed the v-shaped chest and added additional breadth to the wide shoulders. This was a period that also saw the rise in popularity of the double breasted suit the suit that developed into the modern business suit.
This was a time when mien’s suits were masculine and elegant with jackets with long, broad lapels, two, four or six buttons, square shoulders and vent less tails. A generous cut, long pair of trousers completed the look. Enough of my favorites.
Every decade has brought along new more adventurous fashion styles, usually on the heels of shift in the social climate of the day.
Probably my least favorite fashion style was during the 80′s when the clothing styles mirrored the culture of the day in what for me was a very self centered decade. The attitude was one of bold aggression and clothes that didn’t make a bold statement just didn’t make the grade. It is absolutely no surprise that not only were the fashions bold and aggressive, the middle of the 80′ also saw the launch of Dori’s Poison, in itself a very bold and aggressive perfume favored by the so called powerful power suited businesswomen at the time. For me a very forgettable decade.

In a world extraordinarily focused on outward appearance, we need only to open a magazine or turn on our televisions to see the 
latest and greatest fashion trend; it walks the red carpet, checks out a movie premier, and heads out nightly to the hottest restaurants. And we, as a society always mindful of what’s popular, follows dutifully along, eager to purchase the “must have” item of the season. But, ultimately, the fashion style that works best for us is that which looks good on our particular body and reflects our very individual personality.
As anyone who follows the fashion industry will tell you, trends come and go. What is one year’s hot item is the next season’s fashion “don’t.” Designers present their newest lines and before you know it stores are carrying these clothes in every conceivable variation. And then, just as quickly, they’re gone. It’s almost impossible to keep pace. Luckily, the fashion style that makes the most sense on an individual level is the fashion style that reflects who we are as people; and that never goes out of style.
The most important thing to remember is that just because a particular fashion style is popular at the moment does not mean that it will look good on your particular body. Wearing something just for the sake of wearing it ultimately goes against the principles of fashion. A fashion style that you choose to wear should be something that accentuates your positives, downplays your negatives, and complements the overall line of your body.

Are you ready to break out and find your very own fashion style? Everyone has his or her own unique fashion sense. Don’t just 
blindly follow the trends set by someone else. Here are some tips for you to help you search for the fashion that speaks of who you are.
First and foremost, to be able to make a fashion statement about yourself, it is important that you figure out your personality. Are you the fun, quirky type, the serious “brainy” type, or the athletic type? There are many different types of personalities, and discovering who you are will most definitely pave the way to discovering your own fashion style.
Go through your closet and separate the clothes you want to keep and those that you don’t. Check out the clothes you want to keep because they may help you in choosing the style that you want to have. At this point, you can either create a style that is based on your current clothes, or create one that is entirely new.
Be creative! Do not just think of fashion based on the norm or the current trend. Remember you’re making a fashion statement about yourself, so be brave and try different match-ups even if your friends may think it’s strange. Remember that not everything you try would be perfect. But at least you can learn from those errors and then improve because of them.
Choose colors and patterns that you think represent who you are. Having a signature color or pattern might make things easier for you when choosing your style or fashion. Use different accessories to compliment the clothes you wear. A simple accessory such as a bandana can define your style if you use it the right way.
It’s also not a bad idea to study different styles, not to copy them but to get different ideas from different stylists. Watch the fashion of celebrities, read fashion magazines and walk around the mall and check out the latest styles on sale. This will help you choose which styles you like and those you don’t.
Remember that choosing a style is not just about being different. Choosing your own type of fashion should be about being comfortable and being confident in wearing your clothes. If you feel embarrassed or awkward wearing something, then that style is probably something you should avoid.
