As summer winds down and discount stores begin filling their aisles with pencils and notebooks, we move closer to the time when the air fills with sounds of school bells and the streets become home to those big yellow buses. Ah yes, Back to School is upon us! And while it’s been a few years since I have done any back-to-school shopping for myself, I distinctly remember the rush of all those wonderful new things just waiting to be worn! I remember the importance of the absolutely perfect ‘First Day Outfit’, and the breaking-in period of a new backpack. I remember the brilliantly colored pens and markers, and the return of small bags of chips to the pantry for my lunch. But being a jewelry-lover through and through, I most acutely remember the new shimmer…the new shine…the back to school bling!
Instead of thinking of traditional ‘goes-with-everything’ jewelry to freshen up your gemtastic wardrobe, think instead of what you’ll actually enjoy wearing often. Sure, a simple pair of Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings are pretty and practical, but if they aren’t really your style, you won’t wear them. Much like everyone’s closet is supposed to contain a white button-down shirt, we are told what our jewelry collection must contain too. But my closet doesn’t have a white button-down shirt, because regardless of how practical it is, I would never wear it! And even though they aren’t as obviously universal as a small set of studs, these Feather Earrings complement my clothes and my style much better. They also make me smile – invest in jewelry that makes you smile! There’s enough in life to be super serious about.
It’s also important to remember that you don’t have to buy a year’s worth of jewelry in one trip. Think of what might make more sense for Spring, and save that for your Christmas list. It will free you up to dedicate more attention to what you’ll be wearing for Fall and Winter, instead of trying to think ahead 7 months.
A FantasyJewelryBox.com Fall Favorite are these vibrant yellow leaf print Wooden Bangles. They have a fresh, organic edge, and work well with many styles of dress. Another seasonal sensation that will work wonderfully for Fall and beyond are these Tiger’s Eye Rings. A cool, cushion shape accents the large genuine stone perfectly, with faceting revealing a texture almost wooden in appearance. Set against a silvertone band, this ring will look amazing for school and the weekend!
Happy Back-to-School Shopping, and Best of Luck for a Fantastic New School Year!
