My jewelry is one of my favorite things! I consider there to be four key items in this catagory: bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings and I organize my treasures as such. On a “no jewelry” day I will wear a pair of white pearl studs, my gold Georgetown class ring, and a gold bow ring from Kate Spade. Then depending on my mood, my outfit, or the occasion I will accessorize accordingly. Usually large bangles do not get paired with over sized cocktail rings and statement necklaces rarely overlap with big earrings . Other than that, I have no real rules to how I apply my jewelry.
In high school my jewelry collection began as it was one of the only ways I could dress up my Catholic School uniform and show my individual style. A white polo actually proved to be a great solid background for a statement necklace, drop earrings or fun bracelets. Granted, freshman year my daily jewelry was pretty much limited to pearl studs and the occasional bangle, but to me it was stepping out and I got more adventurous as I progressed through my teen years.
Even though my parents would disagree, I am in general a pretty organized person. When I began my amassing jewelry collection I purchased an 80 pocket double sided hanging organizer from The Container Store that fit perfectly in my closet, taking up only the space of a heavy dress, and when I wanted to accessorize I would simply take out when I wanted to look at my pieces. However, I found that when all of these great items were hidden away in my closet I often didn’t wear them – a testament to the fact that if you cannot see it then you do not use it.
