When I was a little girl, like most girls, I dressed up in my mom's closet. That also included me rummaging through her collection of colorful bangles, hoop earrings, and any other piece of jewelry within my reach. It was the 80s, what else do expect!(She kept the exspensive stuff out my sight. Smart woman!)

Anyway, over the past couple of months I've noticed that an outfit is not an outfit until you slip on some jewelry. Preferably, the jewelry needs to add a little splash of color to your ensemble. The right big beaded turquoise necklace can pull  a pair of jeans and a basic tee together like nobody's business. Pair it with a pair of fab shoes and equally fab bag....Lawd, help me now!

The most jewelry I usually wear are my two diamond rings, my gold cross necklace, and a random pair of earrings, but all that has changed. Now I find myself sliding on colorful cocktail rings and kabuki style necklaces with everything. For some reason, jewelry gives the impression that you actually planned your outfit instead of just throwing something on.

In my new found desire for different and colorful jewerly, I ran across a collection of tattoo art jewelry by Karyn Cantor. As you can see, the pieces are somewhat of conversation pieces and I am fan of conversation pieces. That really applies when I am talking about fashion. I don't care who you ask, no fashionista wants to look like someone else!

These pieces would go perfect with a pair of jeans or for those of you who would love to embrace the jewelry explosion, but without all the large beads. There's something out there for everyone! I woulg, however, advise you not to pair these jewelry with those tattoo style tops. That's a little too mch!
