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!)

  1. 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. : )

  2. Incredible pictures! I’m a silver person! But I have slowly been incorporating gold costume jewellery into my rotation.

  3. Great deals! I would say I’m more of a silver person, but I do wear gold at times :)

  4. 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 :) I think I’m more of a silver person, but I try to wear gold as often as possible.

  5. 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. :)

  6. 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!

  7. Lovely pictures Jen! I am a silver wearer for sure but I’ll wear gold at times. It’s fun to change things up once in a while.

  8. wow, such a lovely look! i’m loving the soft colors underneath the black and those gold earrings are lovely!

    cute and little
    come enter my giveaway!

  9. i once had a pair of gold earrings from Sugarline (Vancouver based company) and one side fell down the drain! :( 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!!

  17. You’re seriously the cutest thing ever! Love your style, you always looks so put together and polished!
    I like both silver and gold even though I’ve been buying more gold tone jewlery lately.

  18. This outfit is simply stunning. You look amazingly classy and chic.

    I tend to wear more silver but I’ve gotten into liking gold more and more lately…

  19. You wear leopard print so well! In the past I used to wear silver almost exclusively, but I’m warming up to gold.

  20. I used to think gold was tacky when I was young. I must’ve been insane because gold is clearly super classy and elegant. Happy to report that I’ve changed my ways and don’t wear much silver anymore!!

    LOVING the last picture. Gorgeous girl!

  21. Such a cute outfit my dear, you look absolutely stunning in that last picture!

  22. I love love love the tulip skirts with the leopard and black!! So inspiring, Jen! So much so that I may have to do an inspired post :) I am definitely more of a silver girl I’d have to say! I wish I had more gold though- it’s so fun to play with! :)

  23. 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. ;)

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

    xx Love & Aloha

  29. I was into silver for a really, really long time. And now I’m into gold. I think I change it up pretty well, but lately it’s all about the gold.

  30. STUNNING! Very glamorous yet wearable for a daytime look :) That Forever 21 skirt is such a beauty. I don’t have that many gold jewelries, but I might have to start investing in some. They really glamed up the outfit :)

  31. Such a great outfit!
    I especially like the skirt a lot ‘o’ I am going to check if Love 21 still has one laying around xD

    ps I am a new follower!

  32. Love this outfit…
    TOTALLY a gold wearer..I only have 2 or 3 pairs of silver earrings and rarely wear it.
    I do have ONE vintage silver necklace that I wear to death…but I am all about mixing metals anyway!

  33. You always look so pulled together! I used to only wear silver, but gold has been becoming a bigger part of my jewelry collection. Your bag is incredible – black with gold hardware is my favorite!

  34. 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! :)

  35. Your bracelet is joe?! Gah, I just came from the superstore, I wish I had stopped to look at the jewelry! It’s so pretty. I absolutely love everything about this outfit – the blouse, the skirt, the clutch – it’s all gorgeous, you look so chic & well put together!

  36. I like silver a lot better-maybe because I’m so pale, I feel like gold often makes me look more pink.

    Well, I like silver jewelry. For bags, I much prefer gold hardware!

  37. I’m more into silver, but not pure silver though, I like silver things with same black elements. those things looks like rusty and old, antique things so I love them so much. But I do wear gold sometimes, according to my outfit :)
