Beauty & Style by Jill {week V}

Welcome back to my weekly new column, where I share my favorite ensembles from the prior week to help you create new looks with all the clothes you already own.

Let’s begin with two new statement necklaces that I picked up a few weeks ago from Target.

They have quickly become my favorite accessories to wear!

I love that they bring any casual outfit to life and can easily be worn with an evening gown.

 

  

 

Last week, I paired the silver one with my grey cable knit sweater and polka-dot blouse.

You can get it now in white with pink polka-dots and this adorable navy anchor

Skinny Jeans – American Eagle (last year)

Ugg Brooks Tall Black Boots – right here

 

I tend to buy my favorite things in at least three colors.  Which is why I’m showing you this cable knit sweater with a slightly different look just by changing the jewelry and boots I wear with them.

I’m wearing my new favorite bracelet from Keep Collectives that I introduced you all to in January.

Fashion Tips:

#1 Think outside the box!  Gingham is all the rage for Spring 2015!

 

 

#2 One of my favorite 2015 spring trends is one I already mentioned – let them see you BLUSH!   Whether you add it in with your accessories, coat, shoes, or skirt it will make any outfit look more feminine and soft.

 

 

HELLO!  Gorgeous blush, as the perfect shade for a wedding or evening gown. 

#3 It’s in the BAG! 

Ladies your handbag is an easy way to add the perfect amount of color to any blush ensemble and this spring that should be any deep shade of blue!
