Bold Office Bling?

Just because you work in an office doesn’t mean you need to feel trapped in beige suits and minimal accessories. The right statement bracelet or earrings can complete a simple work outfit. But when does a “statement” cross the line and become a “shout?”

A recent fashion spread inside Vogue Nippon features a model decked out in every accessory known to womankind. Usually at work, the “less is more” proverb rings true. But like it or not, more is more this season, especially when it comes to jewelry.

Not sure how to get gaudy in a good way? Keep the rest of your outfit simple and the color scheme monochromic by wearing your favorite pair of black slacks, a black

lightweight cashmere sweater and a large stone necklace, like this one from Korto Momolu.

Women of any age can wear bold jewelry: stores like Ann Taylor and Topshop have glamorous statement pieces without the flashy price.

This season, vintage items from bygone eras are in, so you can find that perfect unique piece at yard sales, flea markets or websites like Etsy, which is known for selling eclectic items you can’t find anywhere else.
