Christmas Glamour: Gold or Silver - Which is Right for You?

Christmas is round the corner. With that, the coming parties and glamorous occasions give you plenty of reasons to glam up your wardrobe.
The best way to do that is with metallics. Gold or Silver. Depending on your coloring, one would make you look your most beautiful while the other might make you look sickly or garish.
Gold or Silver. What would flatter you more? The sunny brilliance of precious gold or the moon lit gleam of silver? Or both?
To answer that question, you have to take a very close look at your coloring. The undertones in your skin would tell you what are the colors that would make you look your very best. First determine whether you have cool skin tones or warm skin tones. Here is where you can find your best colors.
If you have warm skin tones, (yellow or golden undertones in your skin) gold make you look your best. If you have cool skin tones (blue undertones in your skin), silver would really bring out your beauty. Some people look great in both gold and silver. Usually, if you have a pinkish undertone in your skin, you would look great in both. You might want to wear two toned jewelry featuring both gold and silver.
Once you know whether you should go for gold or silver, start wearing the color.
If you are a gold person, then collect gold jewelry. Build an entire wardrobe of gold jewelry and accessories. From earrings to shoes to belts to bags. Switch around your gold accessories and change the look of a simple dress. That way, a simple outfit can be worn to different parties, and yet look different each time you wear it. For one party, you could wear a plain dress with gold earrings, carry a gold bag and wear gold shoes. For another party, you could wear that dress with layers of gold necklaces and an armful of gold bangles, with a pair of boots. Switch the accessories to change to look.
If you are a silver person, then vamp up your wardrobe with silver clothes and accessories. Silver is such an elegant metal, you can easily get away with plenty of silver accessories. Wear them with your jeans and t-shirts or evening dresses for a more glamorous look. You could dress up your outfit with a silver belt and silver earrings and silver necklace on one occasion. On another occasion, you could show up with silver bangles and silver shoes.
Besides wearing silver or gold, surround yourself with your color. Look fabulous at home with silver or gold home accessories scattered around your room. Drive a silver or gold car. in short, play up your strengths by surrounding yourself with the color that flatters you best. That way, you would look effortlessly, naturally good. All the time.
