How often do you encounter a situation when selection of the right kind of
fashion accessory makes you go wild? Some women have such dilemmas once in a
while, some once in a week, and some of them go through this daily. The question
bugs "Do I look different?", "Do I look attractive enough?" Sometimes you often
wonder, why some women become the epitome of fashion whereas some strive for
little appreciation even after wearing an expensive diamond necklace. Well, I
believe that beauty is not the cause. For I have noticed some of the most
charming ladies being bugged with similar kinds of hassles. The reason is, most
women simply follow the stereotyped fashion trends and do not get noticed among
the crowd. The idea is, that you have to dress differently in order to look
different. I guess, jewelry happens to be an important part of fashion.
Therefore it is necessary that you make some changes in your jewelry box. To
start with, I must say, that simple elegant jewelries are out. Gone are the days
of a simple chain with a diamond pendant. Ladies are no longer totems of
sophistication. Just try out something much more dashing. Accumulate at least
ten to twelve black colored chains of similar look and size. Jumble them
together and flaunt it at your slender neck. They would very well complement
each other. When you try to look different, there is no harm in being a little
more adventurous. One of the latest trends among fashion freaks is to try out
something Bohemian. And when it come to Bohemian fashion, there is nothing like
a candlenut necklace. The candlenuts, commonly known as Kukui nuts, are strung
together in a string or a ribbon and tied in knot. Black happens to be the most
popular color. However other colors like green, brown are also in vogue. The
Kukui nut jewelries can be worn as necklace and also as bracelets. You know
what, I have always admired fashion conscious ladies since my early teenage. I
still remember how my young English teacher at the high school adorned her ears
with long wooden danglers. As she moved her head sideways while explaining the
lessons, the danglers simply danced around her beautiful ears and caught our
attention for an entire hour. Later on, I came to know that such wooden danglers
can be easily made at home. All you have to do is cut out two stripes of
reasonable length from a piece of ply and smoothen them with a sandpaper. Make
sure you get the edges rounded. Drill small holes in each of them and attach a
jump ring at it and attach it again with a hook. And there you are! That would
look elegant as well as dandy! Now while we discuss about fashion jewelries, how
can the beads be left behind? You can make simple beaded earrings at home. Just
grab a headpin, and put inside some beads of various colors. But the colors
should be well synchronized. Get a round-nose plier and bend the extended
portion of the earring at an angle of ninety degree. Bend the end of the headpin
and complete the loop. Attach it with a French wire. And you are done with it.
If you are quite innovative, you can try this one too. Boil some eggs and peel
off the outer hard layer. Make sure that the thin film inside is also removed.
Coat them with two parts of epoxy coupled with a chemical hardener. Get a
ceramic tile and coat it with petroleum jelly. Rest the egg shells over it and
get them dried. After sometime, cut them out in different shapes and paint it
with a nail polish. Once again you may implement some of your innovative skills
by painting them with different colors. Drill a small hole and attach a jump
ring. I shall be happy if you like my ideas and try them out. But I would be
happier if you discard them and try something different that comes to your mind.
After all, fashion is not about following the latest trends of market. Fashion
is all about flaunting your own style that would reflect your own personality.
Sometimes, the jewelry you wear may not go hand in hand with your personality.
But once you are confident about your accessories, you can simply flaunt
anything under the sun. So what are you ladies waiting for? Just get going, full
speed ahead!
