Who says you have to have a special occasion to wear your vintage rhinestone jewelry? I say no. I wear my jewelry with whatever I choose. I have over 600 pieces in my personal collection.
I believe winter is a more appropriate season for wearing most of my sparkles. It's really about size and proportion. Winter clothes tend to be heavier and less colorful so the jewelry is great to wear on a daily basis. If you've never had much exposure to vintage costume jewelry, you may be surprised to see how "weighty" the jewelry can be. They can be "busy" pieces....lots of different shapes and types of stones and sometimes with even some pearls added....all in the same necklace or bracelet. The main caution is to make sure your jewelry does not compete with what you are wearing. Your jewelry needs to shine. It needs to be noticed.
I can remember when I started my collection, I would spend up to 6 hr a night looking through jewelry samples on Ebay to bid on. I really had to find the pieces that I would fall in love with. When I was done I was so proud of myself. I had a beautiful collection and then it hit me....spring is coming. I had to start all over and look for some spring and summer pieces. I just added a little more love to my collection. Those pieces tend to be lighter in stature, many in pastels in colors and are sometimes lighter beaded and pearl pieces.
Just wear your jewelry every day. Select what looks good on you and what compliments what you're wearing. Always know that you're special and this beautiful jewelry only shows that off.
Have an AWESOME day on purpose.
