Just last week I was helping my roommate get ready for an interview, she needed to look polished and put together while keeping the look professional. This is the time and place for simple, elegant earrings like the examples below. Everyone needs pearls (real or fake) sparkly diamond earrings (real or fake) a simple bracelet, gold/silver ring and fun earrings or bracelet to dress up any outfit. Purchase the basics first and you will always have jewelry for any occasion.

 

Rhinestone Earrings

Go with everything and brighten up the face.

 

1. Kiesha Rhinestone Earrings $5.80 Forever 21

 

2. Crystal Pave Ball Post Earrings Nordstrom $28

 

Pearls

Classy and bright. Always a great look for work. I prefer large pearl earrings that are cheap, that way when an earring gets lost I won’t feel bad and can easily replace it.

 

3. Kate Spade ‘metropolitan pearls’ stud earrings $45

 

A Simple Bracelet

One that can be worn everyday. I love wearing my small David Yurman bracelet daily, it’s so subtle – I can even leave it on at the gym.

 

4. Kissing Bangle $29.50 Banana Republic

 

Simple Ring

A great simple ring can be worn at the same time as the earrings and bracelet without being over powering.

 

5. Anna Beck ‘Timor’ Twist Ring $198

 

A Fun Piece

This accessory should be the perfect addition to a black dress or plain t-shirt and jeans. It should just add a touch of style to the outfit with out being obnoxious or trendy.

 

6. Cara Large Twist Cuff Nordstrom $48

 

7. Alexis Bittar ‘Flora’ Primrose Earrings $275
