Accessorizing with Metallics

*affilate links. I may receive a small commission*

Iā€™ve come to the realization that I have a lot of black and white. Black makes sense because itā€™s slimming and because I lived in cold Idaho for 6 years where we barely saw the light of summer. But white? Iā€™m such a messy person and have learned the hard way to always have a tide-to-go pen on me because I canā€™t be trusted to make it through a day without spilling something on myself. Regardless, as I was packing up my closet for out next move, I realized that I have a lot of of white and black, which naturally go well together, but seem kind of boring and plain to me. I wanted to find a way to dress these colors up since I have so much of them and decided that adding in a pop of color with lotā€™s of metallics was the way to go!

I have been drooling over this coral and gold statement necklace at Target for literally months. Every time I go there (which is 2-3 times a week) I stop by and look at it. Itā€™s a little more pricy than I would normally spend on an necklace, (16.00) but knowing I needed something bold to jazz up all my neutral colors, I finally bought it. I added gold studs and gold bangles to keep the metallic theme going, and of course, had to wear a red lip to carry the color into my face!

This necklace is seriously my new favorite piece of jewelry and I love the brightness it brings to my white and black. Iā€™ve never really thought about accessorizing with metallics before; but Iā€™m thinking that itā€™s my new favorite thing to do!

How do you jazz up your black and white outfits? Do you wear a lot of metallics? Any tips on how to rock a red lip? I feel like I can barely pull it off.
