From the Allure jewelry line, these daisy matte earrings can go with practically any outfit. From super-glam to the-girl-next-door! Plus, they're made with a lightweight metal so it won't feel like weights are pulling on your ears! Come in and check out these lovely earrings, today!

Lately, we’ve been looking around for another  jewelry line to carry and we think we’ve found just the one! It’s a new brand called “Allure” and lets just say, all of Jordyn’s Closet is rather smitten with it.

Just a few days ago, Allure arrived and all the pieces are absolutely stunning! Multiple pairs of earrings came, along with a few funky bracelets and some show-stopping necklaces! What’s really nice about all the pieces from Allure is that even though they come across super expensive looking, the line is actually quite affordable! And all the jewelry is completely versatile!

Like the earrings pictured to the left, they’re the Allure Silver Matte Daisy Drop Earring. They can be worn with a pretty dress for a night out or even a Sunday brunch! Or, you can wear them daily with just a t-shirt and jeans. The best part? They’re only $15.00!

A personal favorite of mine (pictured below) is the Allure Silver Medallion Earring. Not only are these simple and chic at the same time, but they’re only $12.00! What I love about them is that even though the look heavy, they’re not. They’re made with a lightweight metal so when I wear them, I don’t feel like my earlobes are being weighted down. They’re a gorgeous pair of earrings; from the vintage medallion design, to the subtle sparkle from the rhinestones. I could wear these earrings with a cute, little, white dress to play up the innocence of the earrings, or bring some attitude while pairing them with black v-neck and some dark jeans. For only $12.00, how could I, or you, say no?

Also from Allure, these earrings look both fresh and vintage! That's we love about the Allure line! Not only does their line come up with moderate pieces of jewelry, but they also play on the vintage-y and antique-y side. These madallion earrings are so chic and lady-like.

When we ordered from Allure, we also got six new necklaces! One of them, the Allure Turquoise Oxidized Stone necklace (pictured below), was an instant favorite among Jordyn’s Closet store owner, Debbie Wikso.

Here's a more modern piece from Allure. This necklace has both an oxidized Turquoise center stone, along with a small, faceted, yellow stone to compliment it! You can wear this necklace with some denim shorts and a white v-neck to give you an effortless Summer look or layer it with some gold necklaces over a little black dress for a fun night out!

“I love the Allure line. It’s beautifully, elegant, fashion jewelry with a timeless, classic look and feel. It’s not something you’d see in regular retail store. I love that [Turquoise Oxidized Stone] necklace because it’s both classy and beautiful. I can dress it up or dress it down. And the stone is absolutely gorgeous!”

For only $32.00, you can own one of Summer’s hottest pieces of jewelry!

We also received a few bracelets from Allure. Of all the bracelets, the Allure Silver Wire Flower Bracelet (pictured below) has got to be the most unique. It’s made with a thick, durable, silver wire and formed into the shape of a flower. Beautiful, deep purple, faceted stones feature the “petals” of this bracelet. Also made with a lightweight material and is only $20.00!

This bracelet is super cute and a bit different from your typical bracelets! It's got a flower design made from silver wire and metallic, purple, faceted stones make up the "petals" of the flower. It almost has an air of the 1920's! It's definitely a must have, statement piece for the Summer!

As you can see, we here at Jordyn’s Closet love, love, love the Allure line and can’t wait until we can purchase more timeless pieces such as the ones featured here. We hope that when you see how beautiful these pieces are, whether on our website or in the store, that you too will fall in love with the line just as much as we have!

“We recently had a sale where we made some really nice, stylish clothes, shoes and accessories available at amazing prices…the catch? They were “gently worn”. Make no mistake, these items were beautiful, fashionable and best of all, a great value! If you didn’t know they had been worn a few times, you would think they were brand new!

Because of the response from our customers and the success of that sale, we’ve decided to go ahead and create a full fledged consignment program that will enable people with some items they don’t need anymore to make some money and for other people to get some great deals on some really cool items! The kinds of items we’ll accept include designer labels, vintage, jeans, leather, current basics and one-of-a-kind items and we will accept items of all sizes, including kids through women’s sizes. Of course, we will continue to carry all of the new items we’ve always carried.” Owner, Debbie Wikso.

As many of you know, besides running Jordyn’s Closet, I’m also a Registered Nurse and work full time as a Case Manager at Dell Children’s Hospital. One of my co-workers there, is from Joplin, MO and has asked her friends and colleagues for help in assisting with the relief efforts in rebuilding the community there, which was recently devastated by severe tornados. We at Jordyn’s Closet would like to help and we’d like to reach out to our amazing customers and see if any of you would like to as well. We’ll even give you Five Dollars in Jordyn’s Closet Cash in exchange for your donations! Just bring your donations into Jordyn’s Closet (you don’t need to bring them to Dell Children’s Hospital…we’ll take care of that) and we’ll give you Five Dollars in Jordyn’s Closet Cash. Simple!

Here’s a brief note from my friend, explaining what happened and what they need:

As most of you know my hometown is Joplin, Missouri which was hit by a devastating F5 tornado at the end of May. I will be traveling up there with a U-Haul next Thursday morning, June 16th to bring items for the people that lost everything. I am asking you to donate anything that you can. A lot of the people have an abundance of summer clothes right now but still have nothing for the winter months. A lot of people have found new housing but don’t have the necessities to be able to cook a meal. They are in need of pots, pans, plates, cups and many other kitchen items. After the tornado, it rained for 2 days straight so a lot of towels and sheets were ruined due to mildew. I know they are in need of drinks with electrolytes because it’s so hot.. When I talked to some of my friends they said they need household items but truthfully, whatever you can give I’m 100% sure they will be able to use.There is also a local website that is easy to navigate in order to help out the community. rebuildjoplin.org

I really appreciate anything that you are able to donate. It means a lot to me, my family and friends from the city of Joplin. Again, I will be leaving Thursday, June 16th, in the morning. I work next Sunday, Monday and Wednesday at the hospital if you would like to drop stuff off there. Thanks guys!

Thank you so much for any donations you may be able to offer. We appreciate it and the people of Joplin, MO appreciate it too!
Sincerely,
Debbie Wikso

In the past few days, I’ve been brushing up on some fashion and beauty magazines and I usually stumble across articles about wearing colors that instantly make you look slimmer. However, I noticed there was something missing about these articles – a lot of them don’t mention how the style or even the cut of the clothing can also give the impression of a smaller waistline. In all honesty, it doesn’t matter what color your wardrobe is bursting with, it really depends on the cut and fit of your clothing. Think of it this way – you wouldn’t put infant clothes on a five year old, would you? Of course not, because we all know that it would look silly because they didn’t fit.

While planning an outfit, it is quite common for someone to pick out a piece of clothing that hinders on the dark side; i.e. black, navy, or gray. We convince ourselves that because we wear darker colors we give off the illusion of a slimmer silhouette; most the time this is very true, however in some cases there can be a minor mishap.

When picking out clothing, make sure your clothes always fit your body type. Even if you wear something black everyday, like a dress or cardigan, always try to aim for a better cut and fit versus a color that people claim to be “slimming.”

Here are some tips that I go by when I wear darker colors, maybe they’ll help you too!

• Look for black clothing with some texture, pretty ruffles, or even some fun and funky embellishments! Not only will these perk up your dark ensemble, but it will add visual interest.
• Add bright colors like some red pumps or a bold printed belt like leopard or one adorned with eye catching buckles. Plus, by wearing a belt, you can accentuate your natural waistline which will also help you appear slimmer.
• Experiment with different silhouettes. For example trendy styles such as bell sleeves, empire waists or asymmetry look less severe when the clothing is black and it also allows you to try something unexpected!
• Pay attention to fit. A perfectly tailored black outfit always looks stylish as opposed to ill-fitting attire.
• When wearing black, which to most isn’t a daring color, but actually is, keep hair and make up simple. If you want to experiment with your makeup or hair, keep your ensemble and accessories simple. Always remember, a little goes a long way.

Bonus tip: to keep your black lint-free use a lint-brush. A piece of wide tape works just as well. To keep your blacks from fading  (or even your colors) make sure to wash them in cold water along with a detergent that has a color protecting formula.

We recently had a sale where we made some really nice, stylish clothes, shoes and accessories available at amazing prices…the catch? They were “gently worn”. Make no mistake, these items were beautiful, fashionable and best of all, a great value! If you didn’t know they had been worn a few times, you would think they were brand new!

Because of the response from our customers and the success of that sale, we’ve decided to go ahead and create a full fledged consignment program that will enable people with some items they don’t need anymore to make some money and for other people to get some great deals on some really cool items! The kinds of items we’ll accept include designer labels, vintage, jeans, leather, current basics and one-of-a-kind items and we will accept items of all sizes, including kids through women’s sizes.  Of course, we will continue to carry all of the new items we’ve always carried.

So, if you’ve got a closet that’s bursting at the seams, or just a few extra items that you don’t need anymore, bring them in and make some cash or trade it for something new! Here’s how it works:

1. Items must be in good condition – no holes, stains, smells, etc. – and should be in style. Items that sell the best are jeans, designer label items and other top name brands.
2. Our store owner, Debbie Wikso, will evaluate the items and choose the ones that she thinks will be most appealing to our customers. She will also set the price that we’ll sell the items for.
3. You can opt to receive cash or in store credit for your items. If you would like cash, we’ll pay you 40% of the amount that we sell your items for. If you would like in store credit, you’ll receive 50% of the amount we sell your items for. Payment will be made (or credit issued) after the items are sold. Please make sure that we have your name, current phone number and e-mail address on file.
4. We will keep your items in stock for one month. If they have not sold during that time, you can come back and pick them up or we can donate them to charity.

So come on into Jordyn’s Closet and let’s see what you’ve got!
