Many women love the look and quality of Lia Sophia© fashion jewelry, but aren’t sure what to wear with each piece. These simple tips offer specific details on how to accessorize women’s clothing with the delicate and sporty looking Bastille necklace. By following these easy tips on color coordinating clothing with accessories, women will take away some ideas on what to wear with this purple beaded fashionable jewelry piece from Lia Sophia.

What to Wear Basics for the Bastille Necklace and Earrings

Made with mother-of-pearl and freshwater pearls along with resin and glass beads in purple tones, the Bastille necklace co-ordinates with almost any purple item in a woman’s closet. But the neutral earthy highlights in the mother-of-pearl pendant also allow this necklace to be worn as a colorful accent piece with an all-gray, all-brown or all-cream clothes palette.

Color Co-ordinating Solids with Purple Bead Tones

Separates in different solid shades of purple compliment the Bastille necklace well. A purple jacket or cardigan worn over a different shade of purple cami-style top creates a color co-ordinated look when pulled together with the Bastille necklace and earrings. A solid purple scarf tied or draped around the neck over another solid but different tone of purple works to highlight the hues in the purple beads. The color variety in this Lia Sophia© necklace allows for mixing separates in shades of purple for a tone-on-tone look.

Solid Gray and Solid Purple Color Coordinated Outfit

Because the primary color scheme in the Bastille necklace is purple and silver gray, it’s easy to pull together an outfit by selecting one purple and one gray item from a wardrobe. A purple blouse or dressy tee and gray pants or skirt look great with this necklace. A jacket or cardigan combo layering purple on gray or gray on purple with jeans plus the Bastille necklace and earrings is a complete outfit. Shoe choice can either dress up or casual down this purple on gray with denim look.

Gray Solids Plus Bastille Necklace, Earrings and More

Purple clothing isn’t a necessity for wearing the Bastille necklace. Because the freshwater pearls hint of purplish gray, the necklace accessorizes with women’s clothing in varying shades of gray. A gray top, jacket or cardigan set paired with gray pants or skirt sets a neutral stage for the soft purple tones in the glass and resin beads. The Bastille earrings and either a purple scarf, purple shoes, purple bracelet or the right purple belt will complete the look of a color co-ordinated outfit.

The Bastille necklace is a versatile piece that accessorizes women’s clothes in various color schemes including purple, gray, brown and silver tones. Sold separately, the color co-ordinated Bastille necklace and earrings are available through a local Lia Sophia Fashion Advisor and at Lia Sophia home fashion jewelry shows. As well, the current jewelry catalogue is available to view at the Lia Sophia website.
