Fashion Forward to Facebook

From attending a few soirees with friends to covering events in the fashion and food world, I have been keeping myself quite busy. With Facebook photos and my obsession with posting them, I have to be conscience of what I am wearing.

Giselle Phelps of Dallas station CW33 News did a great job covering this new phenomenon. You can see the story here. This story made me think that I may not be the only one concerned about her wardrobe. Here are some tips that might help you when getting ready to head out the door to the latest event that will make your pictures unique, but you are not necessarily breaking the bank.

• Look for simple, neutral, monotone accessories for areas you don’t want to accentuate. Black, tan, or navy blue can work well.
• Bright, intricate, “statement” accessories (aka “focal pieces”) can draw the eye to your best features. Save beading, embellishment and multicolor pieces for areas you want to show off.
• Choosing a focal point (only one statement piece at a time).
• Choosing between large earrings and a large necklace, or any other pieces in close vicinity.
• Refraining from exactly matching your accessories to your outfit or to each other (the vintage owl pendant loses its charm when you pair it with an owl bracelet and owl ring).
