Tips to Simplify your Life, One Necklace at a Time - Step 3

7/20/2015

In the first post in the series, we talked about categorizing all that jewelry that you have into 4 groups (basically, "keepers" and "perhaps not keepers"); in the second post, we talked about possibilities as you think about those "perhaps not keepers" and ways to move them on in meaningful ways.  In this post, we'll look more closely at the "keeper" jewelry and see how those pieces can fit in to your overall jewelry wardrobe - those "must haves" that everyone needs.

Group 1 are the pieces you absolutely love for whatever reason - maybe just because someone dear to you gave it to you.  (My mom's wedding rings fall into this category for me.) These do not have to be expensive pieces and maybe you don't wear them all the time or even often.  Some of these pieces may well fit into your ideal jewelry wardrobe.  Even if they don't, that's no reason to give these pieces away - you do love them, after all, right?  That's reason enough to keep them for now.

Group 2 are the pieces that you do wear over and over, day after day. Chances are, many of these pieces will fit into your jewelry wardrobe.

Now, let's look at some "guiding concepts" as you develop a jewelry wardrobe:

1.  your jewelry should be things that YOU love - not what someone else loves or thinks you should love
2.  price doesn't matter - if you love it & wear it often, go for it.  Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's right for you
3.  you might think about having a "signature" piece of jewelry, something that you wear almost everyday
4.  as your tastes change (and they do), don't be afraid to change your jewelry over the years; just because you loved and wore those little pearl earrings when you were 20 years old doesn't mean you still have to wear them daily!
5.  jewelry you are going to wear frequently should be something you LOVE to wear - that means it's comfortable and that you love the look of it.  Do not compromise on this - if it is uncomfortable or doesn't look like "you", you won't wear it.
