Dainty Jewelry Obsession

Personal style to me is something that is always evolving. If something isn’t evolving, growing, and changing then it is stagnant – right? No one wants stagnant style. I’ve mentioned before that I used to LOVE silver jewelry and couldn’t imagine ever wearing gold jewelry on a regular basis. Not too long after that…I started wearing gold jewelry. Not only was my jewelry gold but I liked to make a statement. The chunkier the better! If something was dainty or small and delicate I just couldn’t! It felt so…basic. Flash forward a few years to 2016 and surprise, surprise - I can’t get enough of dainty delicate pieces.

There are a few reasons why I am loving delicate pieces of jewelry right now:

You can layer, layer, layer – 

This is my favorite way to wear dainty and/or more delicate pieces of jewelry. From rings, to necklaces, even earrings, it is so fun to layer them! I have three piercings in my ears and I love wearing three cute little gold earrings. Sometimes I even add a clip on cuff like this one to the upper part of my ear for an added bonus.

Layering is also fun to do with rings as well! I have been obsessing over midi rings for the past couple of years and love to pair a midi ring like this one with another simple gold band. 

For me, it feels more feminine – 

For me, wearing dainty jewelry feels feminine and sexy. There is something about the simplicity of a piece of jewelry that can make you feel a certain way. My favorite way to accessorize to feel feminine and sexy is to wear a plain black outfit (maybe a LBD or a cute off the shoulder top) with a pair of dainty hoops or dangly earrings like these or these. Paired with a red lip and you’re done & done.

It doesn’t over power the look but subtly adds a little shine –

This is something I don’t think I used to understand. I thought that simple dainty jewelry just wasn’t enough. It didn’t stand out enough and didn’t make a statement. How could I express myself with a dainty ring? I needed a knockout ring (which, BTW I still love these!). I feel like I’ve seen the light and have crossed over the other side – ha! Seriously though, now I feel like dainty jewelry actually speaks louder than the big chunky stuff I was so obsessed with. You are able to add a few different pieces to one look to really create a unique statement with your jewelry.

What do you guys think? Are you still on the chunky jewelry bandwagon or have you seen the light like me?
