GERRY CUPIDO

Many are eagerly awaiting the warmer days so that you can once again show a bit of flesh

EARLIER sunrises and shorter nights indicate that it’s steadily on its way. Many are eagerly awaiting the warmer days so that we can once again show a bit of flesh. All the summer wear you packed away to make space for the bulky pullovers and puffy jackets will soon find its way back into your wardrobe. While we are all excited about ditching drab winter gear, it’s a great time to phase in different accessories as the woollen scarves, gloves and beanies start to move to the back of the closet. Remember that cute pearl choker you wore all of last summer? And what about those colourful earrings? Of course, you do! The time has come for you to bring them out as we slowly transition from winter to spring.

Blooming marvellous

Whether it’s tiny buds for your ears or a bold flower statement ring, you simply cannot go wrong. Add pops of colour with beaded flowers hair-clips or a floral headband.

Be bold

Piercing different parts of your earlobe and wearing a variety of small studs or rings makes as big a statement as wearing one large earring. The combination of the position of the piercing and the type of earrings make for endless possibilities to get creative.

Pops of colour

Whether it’s a pair of multicoloured tassels or beaded earrings or a pastel perspex ring, a gold necklace with a colour gem pendant or a bracelet with pretty charms, look out for pieces that will brighten up your look.

Show off your neck

Layering is still one of the hottest accessory trends. Wear different lengths and types of links. Mix it up with beads and chains. Even add in some funky pendants. If you’re looking for inspiration on layering necklaces, all you have to do is check out all Rihanna’s looks.
