The trend reports all agree: from fashion to home furnishings, silver-colored metals are back on trend this season! I love all the cool white metallics: chrome, nickel, aluminum, and of course the titanium and stainless steel I use in my jewelry.
Here are six pairs of silver-tone earrings I’ve been enjoying this spring!
(This style idea was inspired by Everlane‘s Shirred Mini Dress (sadly discontinued now), paired with Wraptillion’s Garland Earrings. When I’m sketching, I love using my custom croquis (a personalized fashion sketching template) from MyBodyModel to “try out” new outfit ideas!)
I’ve never really seen mini dresses as part of my personal style… but sketching out this floaty little black one is making me wonder if it could be! I always like something spiky and edgy to balance out a softer, sweeter look (the Garland Earrings here), and something sleek and modern (simple, classic black mule slides would do the trick for summer.) That took this style sketch in kind of a Mod + Goth direction, leading me to… Breakfast at Tiffany’s goes Goth! (I kind of love it.) So many possibilities… Classic wine nails, the Trellis Bracelet, cuban-heel stockings or a great ankle tattoo… Sometimes it’s so fun to play outside my personal style lane and try something new!
Decisions, decisions… Sometimes I just can’t decide which outfit ideas inspire me most! Classic Circling earrings, or botanical-inspired Mechanical Garden chandeliers? Rich mahogany brown, or simple black? For this style sketch, I kept things simple with one cap-sleeve modern tee dress, in two easy-to-wear neutral colors (similar to Everlane’s Luxe Cotton Side-Slit Tee Dress)…and then went wild with earring choices! (Let’s not even start with shoes… I really think you could wear anything from sneakers to heels with these!)
No matter what season it is, chances are I’m wearing black! It’s chic, classic, edgy, and looks great with my currently-purple hair. For this summer’s outfit ideas, here are a few easy dresses paired with edgy floral earrings from my Mechanical Garden collection, including what to wear to date night on a balcony, a modern picnic, or a Goth-style day at the beach. I really love Universal Standard‘s knit dress designs — they’re so flowy and modern, and I love their inclusive sizing! I hope you enjoy these style sketches!
Above, the Geneva V-Neck Dress from Universal Standard in black, with my intricate modern chainmail Lotus Earrings, for an intimate balcony dinner date night. Time to paint your toenails black and pull out those silver sandals!
Above, the little modern dangles of my Short Fuchsia Earrings and the high-low hem of Universal Standard‘s Tesino Washed Jersey Dress in black are perfect for a modern picnic! Rose gold nails add a little easy polish, while a straw bag and flat sandals let you go anywhere.
Above, a flowy black maxi dress (Universal Standard‘s Athena Dress in black) and the modern chainmail circles of my Rose Window Earrings make a statement! Add sunglasses, sandals (black, of course!) and paint those toenails black for a beach day, Goth-style. (Or, you know, anyone who wants to try out a new style for a day!)
Of course, these edgy modern floral earrings aren’t season-specific, and you don’t have to buy a whole new wardrobe to put your own outfit together! Whether you’re looking for bold statement earrings or delicate dangles, try the Mechanical Garden collection.
