Hey there! I hope you’re all doing well. I’m still coming down from a wonderful weekend, so I’m feeling pretty good for a Monday. I want to jump right in and talk about why you should invest in statement jewelry. Let’s chat, shall we?
1. Stand out. Investing in and wearing statement jewelry is a sure way to stand out and make a fashion statement. There’s nothing wrong with following trends and wanting to emulate some popular styles. But adding a unique statement piece will help set your outfit apart.
2. Add the WOW factor. Do you have a few outfits in our closet you aren’t wearing because you feel like it screams, “Blah”? I guarantee that if you add one statement piece, you’ll see the same outfit in a different light. Adding one piece can instantly take something like a plain denim button up shirt and a pair of slacks to another level.
3. Express your Personal Style. I enjoy wearing statement jewelry because it’s a way for me to express my personal style. On days when I feel like wearing something simple, throwing on a unique thrifted ring or an interesting cuff with a pair of vintage earrings makes the outfit my own. Little touches like that go a long way when is comes to personal style.
So tell me, are you a fan of statement jewelry? What are some of your favorite statement pieces to date? Let me know!
Thanks for reading and until tomorrow, be blessed and stay safe…XO!

I wore my first colorful statement earrings in the post I just shared in the link up. They were actually missing hooks so I had to transfer some hooks from broken earrings (also thrifted) and place them on the ones worn in the post- recycling hooks 🙂 I love your ideas of how statement pieces add more umph to a wardrobe. I like your necklaces. Rachel xo

I saw that when I went to your blog – LOVE them, as well as the entire look. Way to DIY and replace the hooks! 😉
I used to hate big chunky jewelry then I started blogging 🙂 Now the bigger the better especially when I’m wearing a casual outfit!

Lol! Blogging has had somewhat of an influence on my style and fashion choices too so, I feel you!
I LOVE statement necklaces. You are so right about adding that extra touch to an outfit. My only thing is that while I appreciate their added impact, I am always on the hunt for less expensive placs to buy them. I am a thrifter, or cheap as my hubby says, but I am not really happy about spending too much on anything. So, if you have any ideas, places, websites etc. that offer these types of pieces at a very reasonable price ($10-20), then I am there! Great post as usual.
I feel ya, Ayana. I’m actually working on a post that features some places to shop for inexpensive statement pieces. I’l be sure to let you know when I post it! (It’ll be very soon) 🙂
I couldn’t agree with you more, Whitney. Statement jewelry elevates an outfit. This year alone I’ve added at least 15 statement necklaces and I’m wearing one in today’s post that I linked up, too. Love your EBay & Vintage peces. They are great. =)

Thanks, Ada! eBay is a goldmine for amazing statement pieces, so true!
You already know how I feel about statement necklaces! I love them! My favorites are ones I have gotten from a place in Raleigh called Bijuju. Great accessory store!

I know you LOVE a good statement piece, sis. Gotta check out Bijuju next time I come visit you! I hope I don’t go crazy in there like I did at Roses, lol! 🙂
I LOVE statement jewelry. One great piece can change even a simplest outfit. Love your pieces. 🙂

I love statement pieces. In my 20’s I was all about chandelier earrings and I had a really nice collection. Now that I am in my 30’s I love a good statement necklace.

I still love chandelier earrings, lol! 😉
I wear statement necklaces here and there. It really does go the extra mile with your looks. 🙂 Loving the first necklace you had on!

You’re right! Thanks, Mo! 🙂
Since a young girl, I have always been a big fan of collecting estate and vintage jewelry. It is always so well crafted. I especially love it for its uniqueness and history. By far I love statement arm candy the most.
Glenda @ So What to Twenty recently posted…International
I agree, Glenda. Vintage jewelry is indeed well made and lasts seemingly forever. And you can’t go wrong with good arm candy! 😉
i love love love statement jewelry, especially necklaces and rings. Glad you had a good Father’s Day weekend, see ya on Wednesday!

Oh no! 🙁 Well, hopefully you’re now ready to invest in some. 😉 Let me know if you – I’d love to see some of your pieces!
I’m big on statement jewelry, well, mainly statement necklaces. I especially like to add a statement necklace to a casual outfit. Instant oomph.
Vivi recently posted…Simplicity
Yea, statement necklaces had become my go-to lately. Love ’em!
Yes, ma’am! In completely with you. I feel like I came into my personal style when I learned how to accessorize, and how to edit those accessories for a great balance and a look that’s not overdone. My rule is one statement piece per outfit.
Jennae @ Green & Gorgeous recently posted…Outfit + Giveaway: 4 All Humanity
I feel the SAME way! And you’re right – 1 per outfit usually does the trick.
I absolutely love love love love statement jewelry. It completely changes the look of an outfit and it gives a rich opulent look even though you can find gorgeous statement jewelry very inexpensively.

Great post, Whitney!! I have several pieces in my closet that are “blah”. I will definitely keep this in mind when I’m shopping for jewelry next time 🙂
Kishina recently posted…Summer Love
Thanks, girlie! Yes…add some pizzazz to those outfits with a statement piece. You’ll definitely see a difference! 😉
Interesting topic! You look beautiful in all cases, and your choices are fabulous. I’m growing more cautious about statement pieces these days … I’ve got a drawer full that are starting to look a bit dated now. Great pieces remain great pieces, though, and quality is what makes the difference, I think. I’m not even sure if price is a determinate … there are some very nice pieces that cost very little. I’m liking a more minimal approach these days, at least in theory. There’s a fine line between miminal and plain old dull, and I’m not sure I have the hang of it.
And since I’ve cut my hair, I suddenly crave earrings, but have a hard time chooseing as I get in overload with all the options! Time to take stock, get organized and figure out what I need specifically.
Like with statement necklaces, it’s a challenge!
Thank you, Jan! I agree about the fine line btwn minimal and dull. I’m still trying to figure that out too, lol. Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve been trying so hard to get into the habit of wearing more jewelry. I tend to favor earrings over necklaces but I loved all your choices, especially the ebay one. I love when you can find something cute and for a good deal. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hie buddy..
What a lovely post. I totally agree with you Whitney. Even a simple dress can look smashing with statement jewellery. I feel I am so obsessed with the concept of statement jewellery. Statement Necklaces are definitely my thing..
