Make a Statement!

The best way to update your wardrobe each season (besides a wallet-busting shopping spree?) is to invest in what I’d like to call a “statement piece”.  A bold new coat, a great new pair of shoes, or a new piece of jewelry can do the trick!  Of those, I think one of the easiest is choosing a new piece of jewelry.  Find something unique, perhaps a bit bigger than you would normally wear, but something that still reflects your personality.

My statement piece this winter was this gorgeous necklace that I found on Etsy – an antique-style “Love Meter” that really spins.  Remember being a little girl and picking flower petals off a daisy while saying “He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me…” until you had gotten down to the last petal?  Well, in French we say “Il m’aime un peu, beaucoup, passionnément, à la folie, pas du tout” – which translates to “He loves me a little, very much, passionately, madly, not at all.”  I love that it leaves you with a few more options, don’t you?  (not to mention much better odds!)

This is the perfect statement piece for me because it fits my personality – it’s a constant reminder of how great it feels to be in love, it’s fashionable and unique, and it’s in French, no less.

My statement piece for Spring?  A fabulous pair of pink or red heels.  Or maybe both!

What’s your statement piece?  Do you buy one?  Even if you never have – what would you buy if you could?
