Welcome to Style / Substance, a bi-weekly newsletter about personal style and confidence, the business and psychology of fashion, with features on outfit ideas, styling tips, product, and brand recommendations - all to make your life easier and to ensure you present your best self.

Jewelry can be one of the most expressive forms of style. It’s highly personal; more meaning and connections are tied to jewelry than any other material object in a person’s collection. Accessories also allow the wearer to be more experimental or refined on any given day. Switching or going steady each day is really up to you.
To inspire and inform, I pulled some amazing styles (classic and playful pieces) from two of my favorite jewelry brands — Monbouquette Jewelry (a mother-daughter duo from California) and Adam Foster Fine Jewelry (fellow fashion friends headquartered in St. Louis) — and created three videos on best tips and practices for styling jewelry. Check them out below!
And please, wear your jewelry. It’s meant to be worn. All of it. No matter where the piece comes from or what it’s made of. Cherish and express it simultaneously. Layer, mix metals and materials, and embrace what feels right for you.
