Which combination would you rather wear?

maddiecat — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 18:04:32 GMT

Thinking about this as I chose jewelry this morning.

In your daily life, would you rather wear:

A. Simple earrings and a noticeable necklace

B. More noticeable earrings and a simple necklace or no necklace at all?

C. Something different - if so, please explain

Wow, you make it sound so serious....lol My answer is all of the above. But not at the same time. I'm a jewelry girl, I feel naked with it. When I wear a statment necklace, I wear small earrings. When I wear larger, statement earrings; I don't wear a necklace. I love rings and bracelets too. When I wear a big, bold ring; I don't wear a bracelet. One of my favorite fall/winter looks is a bright turtleneck with a bold earring and either a big honker ring on my right hand or a big bold cuff bracelet.

B. That's the style currently. Less is more. Necklaces are less and less important. Unless you're wearing a long tunic (hear that QVC??) then you can wear a long necklace. But really I think necklaces are just not around as they once were.

I love eye-catching earrings and often wear those with a bold bracelet. On other occasions, though, I wear a statement necklace and "quiet" earrings. I like to change things up!

What I don't do is wear several pieces of bold jewelry at a time -- especially bold earrings and necklaces together. Just too much, too close together, and overwhelms the face.

C. Simple earrings, thin bracelet, if at all, band ring, no necklace, occasional watch.

I seldom wear earrings. I do not have pierced ears so mine are either clip on or screw on (remember those?) styles. If I do wear them they are fairly simple and with a more elegant necklace.

All of the above to be honest. It depends on my mood and on the outfit. Sometimes it calls for less is more, other times the more is fun.

Earrings and rings for me. Not much on necklaces. I do wear a bracelet occasionally especially if it's a Southwestern matching ring and bracelet.

I gave earrings up when I got a job that demanded I was on the phone for hours each day. Long after that job ended, I still don't wear them, mostly because I have long hair and they won't be seen or tangle in my hair. I had my ears pierced when I was 6 and wore earrings all the time up to the point where I got that job when I was about 23.

B. I cannot stand to wear anything around my neck including shirts with collars. I would rather wear a bracelet & earrings.

All of the above???

In the morning I usually choose earrings first, then go from there!

I don't wear earrings any longer so it's all about the necklace for me. I wear different types depending on what I'm wearing.

It depends on the outfit. For work it's generally A.

For the weekends and casual it's simple earrings and simple necklace (or no necklace).

I like to keep everything simple and understated.

If you wear the "right" earrings, it doesn't matter what else you are wearing.....suit, jeans, sweats........just put on a great earring and go !!!!!

It depends on where I'm going and what I'm wearing.

For an ordinary day ... nothing special. Hoop earrings and a scarf.

I have short hair so always earriings. I also follow the bold earrings, no necklace rule as well as the either a bold ring or bracelets. Seems overwhelming if too much is going on either on the right hand or around the face. I've added another 'rule' to my accessories - if scarf, no necklace. And scarf only if wearing solid colors - something needed to tie the plain solid colors together. Too many prints are not a good look to me (sorry Issac!).

Although we always hear there are no 'fashion rules', it seems we can come up with our own for what makes us look and feel good.

Most days I start with what shoes do I want to wear and work my way up!

If my life comes to the point of wondering how people prefer to wear jewelry, just shoot me now

I don't have a preference on this because it all depends on the outfit. If I'm wearing a bolder necklace, I wear more understated earrings, or if I'm wearing statement earrings, I'll either wear a small, dainty necklace or no necklace, depending on what works.
