The Statement Piece Necklace!

When trying to add a subtle or dazzling touch of oomph to an outfit, statement piece necklaces are a sure way to help put your best foot forward. There is an endless variety of styles to choose from, making them a very versatile way of creating multiple looks with a limited wardrobe at times. I personally am obsessed with the edgy, geometric look but be inspired by the diverse range shown below and make it work!

Swap Til You Drop!

Our first Jade Lee.org clothing swap was a complete success! Fashionista's exchanged stylish items and one fashionista's trash became another's treasure. Our swap included a couple of surprises such as delicious deductibles & refreshments, a photo booth and a giveaway of a full bag of stylish items from Candy's Beautique. The vibes were great overall!

Different women from the city of Atlanta came out to enjoy our event. Guests expressed that they really needed to clean out their closets and an event like this was definitely needed to help them in doing so. Not only was the event fun but it was for a good cause. There were so many clothes left over after the swap that we ended up donating numerous bags of clothing to Vine City.

We hope to host another clothing swap and more events in the future. We would like to say thank you to all the amazing volunteers for helping and all the lovely ladies for coming to the event! Everyone almost literally swapped until they dropped!

Let's Revamp!

We've all been there...the point where we stare into our closets and think that we have nothing to wear! Often times than not, it either means that some clothes have seen better days or that we've simply grown out of the tastes we used to have. Exploring new places, having a personal epiphany about our identity  or being exposed to ever changing styles presented by the media can lead to a change in our stylistic eye.

If you were never a color kind of girl, think about trying to incorporate it different ways; it could be in the form of a bold shoe or necklace to start off with. Similarly, if heels seemed intimidating, perhaps switch things up by including a couple of them in your wardrobe in addition to experimenting with different patterns, prints and combinations of outfits.

There are a plethora of ways we can revamp our style;big or small, expensive or inexpensive, but the goal should ultimately remain to represent our unique selves in the best way that we know how at every stage of life. A great and personalized outfit can instantly uplift your mood and build your confidence! So, have fun reorganizing that closet and I challenge us all to continue to embrace the world of potential that lies within!
