The other night I had a mere five minutes to get dressed before my friend picked me up for a cocktail party. Thankfully, I had an outfit in mind--a vintage black dress with a fringed skirt overlay. I threw it on and determined it was a bit lackluster. Just too subdued. So I strapped on a pair of big and bold gem drop earrings by Marni, and everything instantly came together. Phew!

The earrings I wore are from a few seasons ago, but I just found these equally eye-catching (rope! contrasting stones!) outfit-makers by Auden. Wear them with...

1. 3.1 Phillip Lim dress,
2. Auden Swarovski crystal earrings,
3. Cleobella clutch,
4. Alexander Wang ankle-strap heels,
