WHEN THE GALLERY HAD A SHOW OF PHOTOS IN SANDY TONES, WE WANTED TO WEAR THOSE LOVELY COLORS
Forest And Ocean Gallery in Laguna Beach where Gretchen sells her jewelry had an exhibit of abstract, aerial photographs by Tom Lamb Wanting to highlight the colors in the photographs, Gretchen created a look echoing those earth tones with Krista Larson layers.
WE INTENSIFIED THOSE COLORS WITH CONTRASTING JEWELRY
Gretchen accented it with her necklace of big turquoise beads and an antique Tibetan ornament, a bright contrast to the russet tones of her dress that showed her necklace to great advantage. She then slipped into her own hand decorated dark red patterned shoes.
LET THE PLACE YOU’LL BE GIVE A TWIST TO YOUR LOOK
Draw color and texture cues from your environment – a gallery show, a garden, a restaurant – even your office. Stand out from those surroundings with differing colors, or go with the tones of the place and contrast that with your accessories. Jewelry, handbags, hair bands or scarves all make you THE work of art.
