All the pieces you need to compliment your daily outfits.
What’s going on in your accessories “wardrobe”? Do you have a nice stash of everyday pieces on-hand?
I have been inside so many closets and I’ve talked to hundreds of women about their personal style. One common thread is this, “I don’t have any cute jewelry!”
Here’s the truth, if you don’t have a planned-out group of basic accessories at the ready, you probably won’t wear any at all! And that stinks because jewelry/accessories are the easiest way to add versatility in your wardrobe and they make outfits feel complete.
Jewelry and accessories will 1. make your closet staples more versatile and 2. they are “outfit completers.”
These are 2 important roles that jewelry and accessories play in your wardrobe.
I mean, really, it’s obvious which outfit seems more complete and put-together. Right?
Jewelry is the #1 way to elevate your closet basics and make pieces more versatile... yet it’s the easiest to overlook. Don’t know where to start? Keep it simple with an essential list like a nice pendant necklace, a few hoops, a pair of studs, and a great watch. This list makes a nice start!
Let’s start off with watches. I know everyone has different budgets but, personally, LOVE to invest in a killer watch. If you pick a standout watch that is timeless, it’s the easiest thing to toss on in a pinch to feel more dressed. If you forget everything else, you can always make time (pun-intended) to throw on a gorgeous watch. The style board below is a shopabble group to get you inspired into action!
Next up, necklaces. Gosh I love what a simple necklace can do to a solid, classic crewneck top. My favorite icing on the cake is a layered necklace on top of my casual white tanks.

Statement necklaces (and novelty pieces) should be added in sporadically. If you overdo it on the large and trendy pieces, you run the risk of not putting anything on because it feels like “too much” for every day.
Truth be told, if you have one long necklace and one short necklace, you’re all set!
Next up, earrings. I recommend that you have a few classic earrings on hand because they can go with everything. To achieve this, try to have one or two pairs of studs and on or two pairs of classic hoops. You can go with silver or gold in either style.

This post is mostly about classic, versatile jewelry but I have SUCH love for statement earrings right now that I really wanted to include some ideas. The reason I love them the most is that I can toss up my hair in a messy bun and wear a pair of statement earrings to feel cute, easy peasy.
Statement earrings never stay in stock for long so click the board to shop.
So bracelets are something I find my own self lacking in because I tend to go for the standout watch and I’ll add a necklace or earrings and be done. But it’s great to have a few classic bracelets that go with anything like these easy pieces below. I love the little pop of color on these Kendra Scott bracelets.
And there you have it, friends!
Enjoy setting up a little accessories wardrobe!
