One of my favorite things I have learned since meeting my dear friend and fabulous make-up artist and Stylist, Terri Fields, owner of Basic to Bombshell is….well…I’ve just learned so much!! For one thing…her claim to fame is that you can mix metals!!! AHHH!! I didn’t even know that was 1. Possible, or 2. cool! :) I thought you had to keep gold with gold and silver with silver and so on! Little did I know!

Here are some of the other things I have learned from her:

1. Embrace the Trends…if you’re younger, go bold! If you are older, take one piece that is the trend, and put it with other basics.

2. It doesn’t have to match…it needs to “go”. Your shoes don’t need to match your belt and purse, and earings and necklace and so on. Just have pieces that you loved mixed with neutrals and you are good to go!

3. A bold necklace goes a long way. I used to have the hardest time choosing my accessories….so I just threw up my hands and just said…forget about it! But…after watching Terri for a year and a half…I’ve seen that she usually wears a bold necklace and it just finishes off her look so perfectly. This was an easy trick for me to use and I love it.

4. Jewelry doesn’t have to be expensive…it just needs to look like it is! Terri will show up with the cutest necklace or ring and I will gasp….then she will proceed to tell me that she got it at Target for $4 or something ridiculous like that! :) The girl knows how to shop!! :)

Ok…that is just a few things….She’s a wealth of knowledge and I swear that I learn something from her every time I am with her!

Here is a darling look she put together with a black and yellow theme! All of these items are under $50 from either Old Navy, Kohls or Target! Love it! This outfit would be perfect for Senior Portraits because it is bold and makes a great statement!
