The Everyday Initial Necklace

It’s amazing how trends tend to change over time.  It seems just like yesterday, that big, bulky, chunky jewelry, especially necklaces, were all the rage.  Today, the style has made a complete 180 degree turn.  Now, as far as necklaces go, the dainty and simple are what’s trending.  Especially initial necklaces.  You will find all different styles of the initial necklace.  My favorite style, is the small disk, with a single initial engraved on it.  I think this style is not only simple, but also classy. It can easily be worn with a t-shirt and jeans, a blouse and blazer, or even a dress.

I love all of the necklaces that Sincerely Silver Co. has to offer. They are all on the small and dainty side, and they are not only high quality, but are also very affordable.  I am constantly wearing my Personalized Initial Necklace.  I have it in the sterling silver colorway, but think I also need the gold one as well. I’m also wanting to add this, this, this, and this necklace to my jewelry collection.  These necklaces make great gifts for your sister, mom, daughter, or friend.

Adding Jewelry to Take Your Outfit up a Notch

One of my favorite ways to change the look of an outfit, is by accessorizing.  Adding jewelry, especially if it’s bold pieces, gives your daily look that extra oomph that takes you from a boring and mundane look, to something more fun and out of the box.  Jewelry is there to help pull together and finish the look of an outfit, so don’t shy away from it. That being said, always make sure the jewelry you’re wearing compliments your look and doesn’t detract from it.  What I mean is, if you’re wearing a bold print in your clothing, keep your jewelry to a minimum, you don’t want to overpower your look.  If you’re wearing a plain t-shirt and jeans, don’t be afraid to take the jewels up a notch!

If you ask me, I think at the very least, a pair of earrings and bracelet should be worn with every outfit.  Call me crazy, but I feel naked without these two items.  If you’re feeling a little bit more adventurous, add a necklace and statement ring, again, just make sure these pieces compliment your look.

One of my favorite places to buy jewelry from is 7 Charming Sisters.  They offer fun, trendy, and stylish pieces at affordable prices. I recently styled their Photo Finish Bracelet, Gold Cuff Bracelet, and Networking Ring in a variety of ways, and love how they added a little pizzazz to my holiday looks, as well as a more casual outfit.

Holiday Shopping with Shop LC

 

 

I can’t believe that it’s already time to start shopping for the Holidays.  Am I the only one who feels like Christmas was just yesterday? I think the older I get, the faster time goes.  I’ve decided this year, I’m going to start shopping earlier than normal. Every single year, I am still out shopping on the 23rd of December, and instead of enjoying the holiday, I am stressed to the max.  I’ve made a goal to have everything bought and wrapped by the 15th, that way,  I can enjoy the last week and a half and not worry about fighting the crowds to get those last few items on my list.

Speaking of fighting the crowds, I think this year, I’m going to do a lot more shopping online.  While it’s fun to go out and about during the holidays, it’s also time consuming and stressful, not to mention freezing cold! There’s just something about sitting on my couch, curled up in a blanket (most likely in my pajamas), shopping on my computer with Christmas music playing in the background.  One of the sites I will be shopping from this year  is the  Shop LC Shopping Channel.

The Shop LC Channel  has been around since 2008, where in the beginning, they focused mainly on selling jewelry.  They have since branched out and are now selling an amazing selection of products, at low and affordable prices. I was lucky enough to collaborate with Shop LC, and after looking through their site, I had my cart full of items that I wanted to purchase.  It took some time to narrow it down, and I ended up settling on three items that I absolutely love, not to mention the prices for each item were amazing!

I love jewelry, and I have been wanting to add a sapphire ring to my jewelry collection for years.   When I saw this Blue Sapphire ring, I knew it was the one I wanted.  It reminds me a lot of Kate Middleton’s wedding ring, and well, she is my style icon, so it was a must have! Plus, you can’t beat the $59.99 price tag.

 

 

 

With the holidays, come events, parties, and get togethers. A few of these are a bit more formal than others, and while I have my outfits planned, the thing I was missing, was a nice watch.  I was delighted to find this one, and know that it will get a lot of wear, well past the holidays.

 

 

A big trend this season is leopard print.  From shoes, sweaters, and belts, to bags, and jewelry, leopard print is a must! I fell head over heels in love with this bag when I saw it.  I’ve used it the past couple days, and get compliments on it everywhere I go.  Trust me, you won’t find a better leopard bag for under $25.  Plus, I look at leopard print almost as a neutral, it goes with everything!

 

 

 

Shop LC, is a fun and easy site to shop on.  They have tons of great quality items, quick shipping, and the prices can’t be beat! Not to mention, you can do the shopping from the comfort of your own  home.  Take a look, I know you’ll find something you love, plus I have an exclusive coupon code from Shop LC.  The code: stylishcloset15 can be used on the website to receive 15% off purchases of $20 or more.  *Discount valid on select online items only 11/1/17 – 12/2/17.
