1. I love mixing gold and silver jewelry together but if you are hesitant to do so, try buying pieces that are already mixed metal. I ordered these small mixed metal huggies which will be perfect to wear everyday.

2. My favorite style of denim to wear right now is a wide leg style that fits almost like a trouser.

3. One of my favorite skincare brands has so many great value sets for Valentine’s Day – and my discount code stacks on top!! (use code: MAREE15 to save)

How To Make Your Outfits More Interesting: My Colorful Jewelry Favorites

|

I’ve slowly started adding more color into my jewelry and thought I would share a roundup of my favorite pieces. Colorful jewelry was a bit intimidating to me at first but I started adding small pieces into my daily looks which felt more doable. Because I have such a neutral closet with tons of basic pieces, adding jewelry with color into my looks was easier than I anticipated. Now I have a nice collection of bright jewelry which adds interest and fun into most of my daily looks.

My Favorite Colorful Jewelry Pieces

Baublebar Joan Semi-Precious Necklace

I am completely obsessed with chunky necklaces right now and this top selling one from Baublebar was on my list for months. I ordered it in this gorgeous vibrant kelly green shade to add a pop of color to neutral outfits. It’s a slightly shorter length so it’s nice to wear with a crewneck shirt or sweater because you can shorten the chain to have it rest just at the collar – almost like it’s part of the shirt/sweater.

Jia Jia Birthstone Bracelet

These bracelets are made for all the months of the year but the one for October is definitely more colorful than other months. LOL This is a really delicate and dainty bracelet but perfect to wear everyday.

Kozakh Palencia Hoops (discount code: MAREE25)

A really subtle way to wear colorful jewelry is with these small hoop earrings. They are super lightweight and easy to wear for everyday. They come in some basic colors (black/white) but since they are such a great price point, it’s worth getting in a bolder color to wear with certain complimentary outfits.

Amazon Bubble Initial Necklace

This was a impulse purchase but one that I wore all summer long. It’s colorful and quirky but actually works with so many spring/summer looks.

Mignonne Gavigan Odyssey Necklace

This is a classic style that Mignonne Gavigan makes and a best seller for the brand. It’s a gorgeous statement necklace that is incredibly versatile. Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments! It was one of the most purchased items from my content last year so I know many of you really love this style as well. It’s the perfect way to add just a hint of color to your outfits without really making a statement.

PDPaola Gravity Ring (discount code: MAREE15)

I get more questions and comments on this ring than any other ring I wear regularly. The shape is incredibly unique and while the green is a bit of an unexpected color, it looks great with any and all outfits.

Baublebar Nina Semi-Precious Bracelet

This is a really whimsical addition to my bracelet stack. While it is super colorful, it’s easy to wear daily with the rest of my gold bracelets because the stones are so small.

Baublebar Joyce Semi-Precious Beaded Necklace

If the other beaded necklace I shared in this post is too bold, this one is much smaller and perfect for layering with other necklaces. I ordered the amethyst one and love how muted the tones are which makes it easy to wear with neutral outfits as well.

Mignonne Gavigan Emily Collar

This is definitely a quirkier statement necklace but I find myself reaching for it a few times a week! I love that it can add a bit of whimsy and color to a simple outfit.

Everything I Read in January 2026

The Butcher – Good but not great. Also, there is a warning in the beginning of the book for VERY bigoted language by the main character. Thankfully it wasn’t too egregious but it’s worth noting. Edward Shank is the retired chief of police with his most notable achievement being his identifying and ultimate killing of the area’s infamous serial killer “The Butcher”. Decades later, it seems like there is a copycat killer emerging and young women begin to go missing again. Could it be that they go the wrong guy? Edward’s grandson stumbles upon the answer unknowingly and must decide if he should keep this information to himself or risk destroying the only family he has left. The reader discovers who the killer is very early on in the book so most of the story is the race for everyone to finally put the clues together.

The makeup I used only a few years ago in my late 30’s is already not working for my mid 40’s skin. I have had to completely rethink my makeup routine and find products that address my changing skin.
