February: A Month in Bracelets

03/04/13 | David Yurman, Instagram, jewelry, Kate Spade, Michael Kors

It is Monday, my least favorite day of the week, but to make it better I am going talk about one of my favorite things, arm candy!  I have am fully aware that I have an outrageous jewelry collection.  It has grown over the course of many years, but, sadly,   the vast majority of it is not in frequent rotation. I realized this was silly because I have so many great items so I challenged myself in the month of February to wear a different bracelet every day, Instragram it, and not repeat for 28 days. Twenty- eight bracelets you say?! Oh, yes, and the sad part is I did not even wear all of them.  Here are  all of the bracelets together in the order I wore them:


If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw me doing this challenge and here are the results, 28 bracelets over 28 days. Yes, I do realize this was a massive over share of my left hand and that I  did change my nail color five times last month, from Cranberry to blue to pink to oxblood to grey.

Have you done anything like this?  Was it challenging?
PS. My goal this month – as an extension of my New Year’s Resolutions to not shop online at all – and that includes Amazon Prime!  Wish me good luck in this venture as well as not buying any beauty products for the next five weeks!

    What an amazing way to really maximize your closet! I’m guilty of putting favorites into heavy rotation and letting the others gather dust in my closet. I’m definitely going to try this out!

    What a great challenge! Love it and well done, and yes you have an AMAZING collection!

    I did blackout last year, I wasn’t allowed to wear anything black, including glasses, shoes, bags for 7 days. That is actually quite a challenge but 28 days is fantastic!!

    That is a really great idea. I should do it with clothes. I have a lot, but I only want to wear the same few things right now…probably because it’s so cold. I should challenge myself to wear different outfits for a month….then again….it’s still really cold. lol
