Mixed Metals

I think the first official fashion rule that was thrust my way was on the bus home from school in 6th grade. "Never wear gold and silver jewelry together again... it's an eyesore," said an older girl, who was eyeing my gold stud earrings and silver pendant necklace.

Granted, I probably looked like a 12-year-old mess. Recently, though, I've been really into wearing mixed metals. Perhaps it's a result of my 12-year-old ego screaming in my head to rebel, but regardless, it can look pretty sick (if worn the right way.) Pewter, silver, brass, gold... you just have to jumble them with intention.

I've been bookmarking some of my favorite mixed metal jewelry pieces and wanted to share them:





If you don't want to invest in a new piece, you can always mix and match jewelry from your own collection. I'm currently wearing a gold chain bracelet given to me by my grandma with a thick silver bangle - it's really easy to make your own look.

Facade is the future...

Love you madly,
Val
