As a fellow jewellery lover (and hoarder LOL) of necklaces I salute you! Actually I just did the first really big purge of my jewellery collection over the new year's break and sorted out the ones I never wear anymore because my style has shifted over the years. Just like when you edit your wardrobe/closet it is liberating to do an edit of accessories&nbsp;because you can find all your favourites :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-in-my-accessories-delight#post-1439636 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 10:04:22 +0000 Deborah 1439636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! &nbsp;And how exciting that you already have what you need to boost your style and how you feel in your outfits. &nbsp;Looks like a lovely collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-in-my-accessories-delight#post-1439635 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 10:02:07 +0000 vesperholly 1439635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a confession: I've never understood accessories. </p> <p>Except for a few, beloved pieces of jewelry, the world of accessorizing has mostly been a mystery to me. I have often left the house without any jewelry at all, and couldn't understand how someone would rather buy a purse or a pair of shoes when they could buy CLOTHES instead! </p> <p>I had the idea that if you wanted to accessorize, you had to have a vast and specific collection of items, probably matchy-matchy, that I had a hard time visualizing. And I am still working on my wardrobe -- aren't we all? -- and it seemed like a waste of money to focus on what I thought of as low-impact items.</p> <p>And yet, over time, I kept falling for pieces of jewelry. Usually dramatic and bold. I bought them, and didn't wear most of them, with a few occasional and fabulous exceptions that felt like signature pieces. Most of the time I wore no accessories, not even earrings. </p> <p>At the same time, I've been feeling lately like my style is a bit unfinished/plain/blah in a way that I couldn't put my finger on. I wanted to feel fab. I bought two new pairs of earrings for the summer (in the Southern Hemisphere) and have been loving them.</p> <p>Feeling inspired, I decided to edit my jewelry collection, stored, I am embarrased to admit, in a literal box of brown cardboard. I divided everything into categories, made a pile to give away, experimented with lengths, tried layering pieces together, held them against different color backgrounds and necklines. I tried everything on.</p> <p>I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT.</p> <p>This is what has been missing from my style! Now I have a collection of necklaces, earrings, bracelets, hair ornaments that I love. The joy factor is one of the most exciting things I have experienced on my style journey. I also devoted two flat drawers to jewelry which I have arranged by type and color. I can't wait to get dressed in the morning now, after just a few days - and experimenting with jewelry is my favorite part. My creative juices are flowing and I feel ten times more fab.</p> <p>It feels like the difference between separate pieces of clothing and a work of art. How did it take me this long to get it?</p> <p>A photo of my jewelry pile below. Pirate's chest style, for those who love to purge and edit!</p> <p> </p>
