Coco Chanel once said, “Before leaving the house, a lady should look in the mirror and remove one accessory.” This piece of advice is true, however in today’s society, more is better. And no, I am not talking about that extra scoop of ice cream for your sundae—I am talking about jewelry! Today’s biggest trend is stacked and layered jewels. The pieces can vary from your grandmother’s antique rings to a couple of cheap fast fashion necklaces.
So how do you rock this trend with out it looking like a costume? Simple. Since you are going overboard with accessories keep your outfit as minimal as possible. This Fashionista wears a black shift dress and a camel colored cardigan. The neutral colors help down play all the jewelry she is wearing while still making the outfit cute and fun. Since her clothes are casual, she amps up her game by wearing a colored statement necklace layered with a gold necklace and throws on a couple of bracelets and a ring. She pulls her hair up and out of her face so it doesn’t compete with the look and wears casual distressed booties.
The best part is that you don’t need to go out searching for jewelry—you can simply use whatever you have! This outfit is perfect for any event. It looks casual enough for a day of shopping but also dressed up enough for a dinner date.
How To: Are you loving this look but maybe aren’t as daring? Start off with a dress that is preferably blue, gray or black—no neon colors! Make sure your shoes aren’t too crazy and then add the jewelry! This is the fun part and you can’t go wrong here. Be creative by throwing on a couple of necklaces and a some bracelets. If you are feeling bold try adding a choker into the mix of necklaces, and stack rings on all of your fingers with a few midi rings, too.
