One fashion faux pas that is easy to make is mis-coordinating your accessories, such as your shoes and your purse, with your jewelry.

Here's the scenario: you have a fabulous pair of shoes, a fantastic new purse, and this set of jewelry that all look great individually with your new outfit...but how can you tell if putting them all together will be the perfect, matching look?

1. The colors of your jewelry and accessories should not clash. For instance, if your shoes and your purse are pure white, gold may not be as complementary as silver or white gold, while off-white accessories will look amazing with gold. Mixing different colors is fine, but make sure that your colors coordinate, too.

2. One accessory should be your "centerpiece". Whether that is your purse, your necklace, or a larger bangle bracelet, your accessories should not compete against each other for attention.

3. Mix a scarf around your neck with bracelets and earrings, but try not to layer too much around the neck. Your scarf can actually pose as your necklace, then just add bracelets and earrings that complement the look.
