There is no way to underestimate the power of beautiful baubles, especially those pieces with exquisite beads. All it takes is a simple beaded necklace or bracelet to turn an outfit from boring to wow. Here are some of my favorite beaded jewelry pieces.

Double Rainbow Cuff $35.00 at Lulu’s

Layered Glass Bead Necklace with Sculpted Pendant $14.99 at Target Gardenia Pearl Garden Party Bracelet $49.50 at Banana Republic Kate Spade New York Sea Glass Triple Strand Necklace $228.00 at Nordstrom Power Bead Bracelet $32.00 at Fossil Darling Pearl Frosted 3 Stone Drop Earrings £8.00 at Monsoon Collezione Alessandro Charm Bracelet £28.00 at Freemans Cream Bead Necklace £10 at Next Phase Eight Shell Round Bead Necklace £25.00 at House of Fraser

Clothes are the garments you just wear. Fashion is how you style the garments. Once you know the difference between clothes and fashion, the easier it becomes to actually enjoy style. One single garment or accessory can be worn in at least a dozen ways if you get really creative.  Need a little inspiration? Here it is!

A casual shirtdress can look sexy or smart depending on how you style it. Try cinching the waist of the dress with a belt and pair it with booties for a slightly edgy style.  If the dress is short enough like the one shown here, you can pair it with skinny jeans and heels. You could also wear this dress with a cute denim jacket or blazer for something that looks much more polished and put-together.
