I don't do it much because I have much more silver accessories, but I have combined a gold belt with silver jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-mixing-metals#post-693497 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:25:04 +0000 Isabella Rosso 693497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't usually mix them, I don't think it looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-mixing-metals#post-693442 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 14:19:42 +0000 Anonymous 693442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a metal mixer...

They're all neutrals, so mix to your heart's content! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-mixing-metals#post-693433 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 14:03:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 693433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love mixing metals and find doing that can add just a bit more "oomph" to an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-mixing-metals#post-693329 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 08:50:15 +0000 Ornella 693329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, courtesy of YLF.</p> <p>In fact, it was <strong><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-2">this particular challenge</a></strong> that brought home how fabulous mixing metals can be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-mixing-metals#post-693287 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 07:15:52 +0000 harmonica 693287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mix too.

I especially love mixing metals close together (le GASP)! Like gold and silver bracelets, for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-mixing-metals#post-693220 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 03:51:44 +0000 Aziraphale 693220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It wouldn't worry me. Earrings generally aren't that big, and they're really far away from your feet. But I'm not a particularly big fan of matchy-matchy, so it might bother me less than it would bother others. If your style is very polished and put-together, then I could see why you might want to match your earrings to your shoes. </p> <p>How big are the silver earrings in question? In my experience, people don't even notice your earrings unless they're huge and shiny, or so long they nearly graze your shoulders. Small tasteful silver hoops, or even relatively big but slim silver hoops, just aren't going to be that noticeable. Unless you also have a pixie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-mixing-metals#post-693219 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 03:51:27 +0000 Aida 693219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love mixing metals, I do it almost daily! Sometimes with 3+ metals. If it's earrings and shoes, they're so far apart I really don't think it's a big deal :} </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-about-mixing-metals#post-693218 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 03:46:34 +0000 Clarissa 693218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just feel like mixing silver and gold doesn't work if they are two separate pieces. I have cute shoes that have gold embellishment and I feel like silver earrings just wouldn't match. Thoughts? </p>
