5. Accessorize! It doesn't have to be fussy or take more than a few seconds. Put on a necklace and a cocktail ring or some earrings and a bracelet. Or put on a pretty watch. And unless you have a baby with grabby hands, you don't have to save the dangly fun stuff for parties.
Instead of your barely-existent studs, try these:
Instead of your daily bangle, try this:
Instead of your tired, tiny chain with tiny charm, try this:
Now that we have that problem solved, what's next? Hit me up with your questions!
