Necklace Layering

Hey Fashionistas!! I don't consider myself a necklace layering pro by any means. Figuring out how to wear three or more necklaces together can be challenging, But to me is all about having fun with it.  Here's my secret on how I overcame my mental roadblock + a couple other tips I've gathered to help you get inspired!

1. Hang them. Last summer I hung hooks just like the one below on my closet walls, for organizing my "delicate" necklaces. Seeing my necklaces on the wall was my lightbulb moment. Instead of trying a bunch around my neck, I was able to see on the wall which ones would be the right length to layer together. You can easily do this with any nail, etc., and then pick lengths from there. You can find hooks like the one in the picture at many stores like Kmart, Home Depot, Wal-Mart or the Container Store.

Container Store, $6.99


2. Get inspired. There is so much amazing necklace layering creativity on Pinterest. These are a few of my favorites; pictures like these challenge me to think outside the box!



3. Get technical. Use this chart included below to order the desired necklace lengths online - or measure your necklaces at home with a ruler - and create your own combo.

4. Use a formula.  Stella & Dot sent a "layering school" email (some of which is pictured below) which reminded me sometime ago to do a post about layering necklaces. I love that you can cheat and order the combos they already came up with!  Plus it helps again with getting some inspiration and working on it on your side with what you already have.

Happy Styling!!
