How to layer necklaces

Have you ever wondered how to layer your necklaces?  Are you afraid you can't pull it off?  Or that you'll break some fashion rules?  I think with fashion, if you like it, wear it!!  It's fun to play around with trends and think a little outside the box, like mixing prints.  

Here are some ways you can layer your necklaces.  

1. Like I did in this post, you can mix 3 necklaces of different lengths.  I paired a short, medium and  long length necklace.  By making sure there is some open space between the necklaces, it helps each necklace stand out.  But the overall look is large and dramatic.  They are in the same color family and really pop against the solid color dress.  I like having 1 necklace be a larger statement piece.

2.  You can also mix a fabric necklace (here) with a gold sparkly tassel necklace (here).  The 2 different textures add interest to the combo.

3. Three small delicate necklaces layered at slightly different lengths always pair well together.  Most necklaces have adjustable length chains.  

4.  There are a few different ways to layer with your favorite statement necklace.  Add a small pendant (here) or a monogram (here) or a longer simple pendant (here).

5.  I have this twisted pearl multi strand necklace that I love.  I think it looks great paired with my monogrammed necklace or a longer gold tassel chain (here - love!).

6.  I love the look of a stone cluster necklace (here) paired with a thick gold chain necklace (here).  It's like making your own statement piece.

7.  And of course I love mixing different metals.  It can give an unusual but stylish look. 

Mixing necklaces is a great way to get more wear out of them and really create unique looks to your outfits.  Try it and don't worry about the so called "fashion rules".  If you wear it with confidence, anything looks fabulous.

This adorable cold shoulder dress from Beyond Rubies is perfect for the summer.  It's lightweight, super soft and comes in this blue, grey, black, coral and mint.  I can't wait to wear it with my white converse for a chic casual look.  I think it also would look adorable with flip flops and a crossbody.  I am 5'4" so this tunic/dress fits me fine as a dress, but if you are much taller, you'd probably need to wear this as a tunic.
