An effectively put together wardrobe that contains about 30 basic pieces should save you money as well as the daily struggle of thinking about what to wear. But what if the magic of a perfectly coordinated outfit without any extra worries also depends on something else?
Purchase jewellery in a thought-out way
Jewellery is an important element of personal style and when choosing it, you could also go down the path of minimalism. You might end up with fewer pieces, but then it won’t ever happen that you’ll simply forget about one. As with a capsule wardrobe, when you choose jewellery, prioritize quality, a smaller number of pieces and their ability to mix and match well with your clothes and other pieces of jewellery. Ask yourself the following questions with each piece of jewellery: Would I want to wear it today? Does it fit any outfit I often wear? Is it me and do I feel beautiful in it when I wear it? If you have answered no to all the questions, then this piece of jewellery won’t be the right one for you.
The journey to assembling your own capsule jewellery collection should be seen as a long distance run with a long term vision. To begin with, feel free to make a list of the jewellery you’ve been lusting after. You could then buy these pieces over time or add them to your wish list for birthdays, Christmas, and other occasions. Be inspired for instance by timeless jewellery from the KLENOTA jewellery studio, an original Czech brand. Their handmade craftsmanship and highest quality materials mean that you will enjoy these pieces for many years to come.
Five basic jewellery pieces that you shouldn’t be without
Here are five types of jewellery that will help you create a dependable foundation that no fashion wave will shake:
Stud earrings
A simple pair of stud earrings is a must in your jewellery box. They are suitable for everyday wear, but at the same time they are a great complement to a more distinctive necklace or occasion dress. You definitely won’t be making a mistake if you buy a pair of small diamond studs or minimalist earrings with a geometric shape.
A shorter necklace
When looking to complete your look in the morning, you can always count on a chain with a pendant which is fixed to the chain on both sides. It suits all types of necklines because it sits high on the neck and for this reason it also won’t get lost under a T-shirt.
A simple ring
We look at the ring on our hand every day so for this reason it is perhaps the most personal piece of jewellery of all. Take a look around at rings and find one that will express you in some way. It could be a ring with a color gemstone, a simple band or a slightly bigger seal (or signet) ring.
A delicate bracelet
We certainly can’t forget the bracelet. Let’s leave aside the string one you got from your friend when you were a child. A delicate gold bracelet will help you look elegant and stylish in every situation. You could choose either a chain with a pendant or a narrower solid bracelet.
A more distinctive pair of earrings
Some situations call for jewellery which is a bit more distinctive. And the ideal jewellery that you could be a little more bold with is earrings. Everyone will notice larger earrings at first glance. They could be medium or large gold hoops or dangle earrings with a longer chain or colour gemstones.
Consider this list an inspiration and don’t despair if you haven’t found your favourite or dream piece of jewellery in our list. Every woman is completely unique, and so every jewellery box will have different pieces that will match the personality of its owner.
