Jewelry for every occasion

Accessories can make or break an outfit. As you grow and mature so does your fashion. It becomes a part of you, defining who you are. Jewelry tends to do the same pattern. But searching through your own collection it might make you turn your nose in disgust, wondering to yourself why you ever bought them at all. Most give away their unused jewelry, but for thrifty minds like Anne's she does anything but.

Beaded jewelry is one of the easiest materials to change and mix and match with accessories. Orange is sometimes too harsh of a color to be worn in significant amounts of clothing, this color on jewelry however creates the perfect pop of color for this summers must haves.

Sometimes we inherit jewelry from our relatives that we do not have the heart to discard. The large orange beaded bracelet, was originally a chunky, outdated necklace from our Grandmother gave us that we transformed into a fashion must have. I paired it with a blue chevron striped dress and got more compliments on the bracelet then the dress itself (even though the piece could be considered a head turner as well).

The second bracelet was bought at Forever 21. After purchasing we realized that it was too big, making it pushed aside and forgotten as the months progressed. Chains were removed from the original bracelet to make the fit more accustomed to our wrists. Then, keeping with the orange theme, the bracelet was taken apart and give additional orange beads from the previous outdated necklace discussed above.

The necklace contains multiple components, strung together to create a high-to-low neckline statement piece. Combining beads from multiple pieces of jewelry it is ok to clash color palettes together. Be bold with your style, it is important to define the ordinary in order to make something extraordinary.
