Golden Accents

January 26, 2011

I am a lover of gold. Heck, it doesn’t even matter if it’s real: the only genuine yellow gold jewelry in my possession are a pair of tiny studs given to me by my grandmother and a simple necklace from my mother. Lucky for me (and my student budget), the fake stuff does the trick just as well and I’m rarely ever in silver jewelry if I can help it. From the hue of my necklaces to the hardware on my handbags, having a pop of gold in my ensemble can quickly make me feel pretty and put together without much effort. Although my go-to earrings are still pearl studs, this large, semi obnoxious pair of gold baubles are a fresh and quirky alternative. For $1.50 a pop after an extra $2 off the sale price, they are a happy addition into my jewelry collection and something that I know I’ll be constantly wearing year round.

What about you? Are you a gold or silver wearer?

P.S. Remember to enter the giveaway below for a pair of Amrita Singh earrings!

Wearing: Zara blouse, coat and shoes, Love 21 tulip skirt, LOFT gold cardigan, MICHAEL Michael Kors clutch, Joe Fresh earrings and bracelet (purchased for $1.50 and $2.50 respectively!)

    I love your outfit! You’re gorgeous! I used to prefer silver over gold, but now that my tastes are expanding, I like them both! It really depends on the item though. : )

    You look so cute! I’ve never checked out Joe Fresh before even though I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. I’ll definitely go and make use of that coupon if I find the time to go before Friday πŸ™‚ I think I’m more of a silver person, but I try to wear gold as often as possible.

    I love your skirt Jen, it’s so pretty and feminine. I don’t have a preference for gold or silver…I guess it depends on my mood. I tend to lean toward silver though because gold seems a bit too dressy for my purposes. I don’t know why I have that impression. πŸ™‚

    Gorgeous, as ever! I’m a silver girl. I think it’s mostly because the majority of my closet boasts black and white clothing and I somehow feel like silver “matches” that? Is that silly? Anyway. I love your shoes! It figures that they’re Zara – I really need a Zara in my life.

    Okay, I missed your giveaway post. Off to enter!

    i once had a pair of gold earrings from Sugarline (Vancouver based company) and one side fell down the drain! πŸ™ Ever since, I’ve only been wearing sterling silver studs but once I find another pair of gold earrings that I like and worthy of my student budget, I’ll definitely pick it up!!

    I think I like gold and silver (or white gold) equally. I like rose gold too. I actually have mixed metals for my wedding/engagement rings (rose gold with pave diamonds wedding band + emerald cut solitaire set in white gold). Platinum is over-rated.. lol. πŸ˜‰

    I love the tulip skirt Jen. Looks expensive! πŸ™‚ And of course the leopard print top will always be a winner in my book.

    I’m more of a casual girl, and have always stuck to silver tones. I’ve always thought gold was either too “mature” for me or, if not done well, too gaudy. But I can definitely see how the right touches of gold can add lots of class and elegance to an outfit! πŸ™‚
