Valentino Studded Leather... Jimmy Choo Spiked Stiletto's... Alexander McQueen Knuckle Box Clutches. Tell me you don't have a craving to break some rules. That you haven't imagined yourself wearing a cool look to command attention!
I am the first to say that the moment I put on my first fitted leather jacket, I felt like a different woman. The effect then trickled into my every day wardrobe. There's something to be said for the attitude you embrace when you wear stand out pieces. So now, with my jewelry, I am making newly bold choices. Here are my top picks!
#1 - Try a couple of rings on the same hand, i.e. your index finger and ring finger. Look out for gemstones such as black Spinel or black Sapphire. Also keep an eye out for wider designs with an animal, just like a tiger from from John Hardy.

#2 - I'm a sucker for men's jewelry. I know it sounds crazy, however some of the best pieces I've seen a woman confidently wear seems to have come straight out of a men's GQ look! This is where I recommend a men's watch - you heard me - layered with spiritual beads (See above).
#3 - Lastly, think about a long chain with a dog tag. Always a classic look and takes your look from cool to very cool.

Now is the time to step outside of your comfort zone and wear what you really feel. When it comes to a cool bold look - mix it up! Go for jewelry pieces that you wouldn't normally try. You just might find that you welcome the change for it will inspire your new attitude to rock your personal style! #StyleByJanika
