  1. I know this is late, so no worries if it is too late to answer but I do have a styling question. Can you comment on the use of jewelry? In my first fashion-y shoot, the stylist brought loads of costume jewelry. At the time I thought it was okay to use but looking at the photos now, the jewelry just leaps out at me as not belonging to the scene. For that reason only, I don’t show those pictures any longer. I’m wondering where to draw the line on that stuff because it can look nice but it also foul up a shoot.
