The Well Accessorized Woman
Midge from the blog Wasted Wardrobe took a dress from H&M and infused it with loads of personality via accessories. The bright pink vintage necklace is gorgeous against the taupe while the belt gives the dress shape. Her shoes are without a doubt fabulous on their own, but also work on another level, by pulling in tones from the belt and dress. The addition of the hat is just the bit of sass the outfit needs to keep it from being too ladylike.

Caring For Your Fashion Jewelry
Fashion jewelry, also referred to as costume jewelry is a fun and inexpensive way to express your individual style. It allows for a much greater variety of bolder, attention grabbing styles and colors that can be mixed and matched according to your mood or wardrobe.
Although fashion jewelry doesn't require much of an investment, it is still important to get the most bang for your buck by taking proper care of your costume jewelry by following a few simple steps:
- NEVER allow fashion jewelry to come in contact with oils, soaps, perfumes, or any harsh chemicals which can fade or even ruin the item.
- ALWAYS remove jewelry before sports, swimming, exercising, washing hands, showering, cleaning, doing laundry, or applying lotions or creams.
- NEVER store jewelry wet. Always dry with a soft cloth before storing.
- When cleaning, be gentle! Use a soft toothbrush and jewelry cleaner that specifically states that it is safe for costume jewelry. Make sure it does not contain acid, alcohol, or ammonia. Only use jewelry cleaner as directed. DO NOT over scrub.
- Store jewelry in a plastic ziploc bag or soft jewelry pouch away from other objects and jewelry items to avoid scratching.
- Store jewelry in a clean, dry, cool, not cold place away from heat and dust.
- Use a jewelry cloth for buffing.
- Regularly check for loose stones.
