Style Tip: Layer Your Necklaces

My friend Kim has been begging me to post about this for weeks, since she discovered I was wearing not one necklace on an outing, but three. I had planned to take a bunch of pics of examples from my own jewelry box, but, truth be told, I've been lazy this week and couldn't be bothered. So I'll try to give some e-examples and hope it translates.

I, like most women, like switching up my jewelry. One day I want a dainty strand, the next I want a neck overflowing in chains. But the budget doesn't quite allow to have a new necklace for everyday of the week. So I do what I do with my clothes - switch it up and layer it up. A necklace will look new and dramatic when paired with another necklace (or two) already in your collection. Try it out!

Try one of these combinations:
1) High-low - pair a choker with longer strands
2) Same tone - everything gold or everything black, doesn't matter shape or size
3) Pendant with chains - I love pairing something like a big animal pendant with a bunch of chains. Looks great.
4) Beads, beads, and more beads - go all glass, go all stone. Get a great collection of baubles around your neck.

Here are some great layering pieces from Forever 21 for a steal!

So what do you think? Will you give layering necklaces a try? If you request nicely, I might actually take some pictures of my personal examples for you :)

EWP Gift Guide: Statement Necklaces

I was in Aldo the other day shopping for Christmas gifts, i.e. totally scoping out the accessories for myself. I can't help myself, I really like the accessories at Aldo. Super fashion forward and unique, but also super cheap. Who can pass up that combo? While there I saw a fabulous fabulous necklace that involved a bunch of feathers. Yes, feathers. I was just trying to find it online but didn't see it :( But lucky for you and whoever you're shopping for this holiday season, I did find these great statement necklaces.

EWP Gift Guide: Amrita Singh Jewelry

I am super duper head over heels in love with Amrita Singh jewelry. It is super unique and has just the pop of color I need to make any outfit fantastic. The site has a million zillion options from earrings to cuffs to necklaces to rings, but I picked just a few options for all of you. Seriously, though, this is only like 1% of what's available at Amrita Singh's website, so be sure to peruse it for yourself. And then stock up on some FANTABULOUS jewelry for the pretty ladies on your gift list this year.

Use the code "holiday10" now through Christmas for 30% off your order, and they're currently featuring free shipping on all orders no matter the price. Only wish I had known that before I placed my order last week...

I am so very in love with my bib necklace. I wasn't sure if it was going to be me, but it so very much is. And now I need more. And, as always, I'm here to share all my online shopping findings with you, just in case you too need a bib necklace. And, really, you do. They're fantastic!
