They’re a very subtle statement, but bigger for everyday wear.

I think these are my new everyday upgrade because they’re lightweight and feel very secure, plus rose gold is my jam, I don’t care what Gen Z has to say about it. The first pair, and winner of my heart, are these rose gold huggies. Monica Vinader: I just received two pairs of Monica Vinader earrings to try out and I love them BOTH. Now that I’m writing this I’m realizing I should just part with this pair. They don’t have a hinge so you just have to stretch the earring back to get the post in place, which is sooo difficult I don’t even bother doing that these days. I thought they would be a bit more of a huggie style and tbh I haven’t been wowed by them. Mejuri: Every influencer ever influenced me to try Mejuri and I asked for these small hoops for Christmas last year. I’ve loved this chain or this one, plus this pendant. I have had 0 problems with any of them and I’m not particularly nice to my jewelry–I do wipe it off with a soft cloth mayyybe once every 3 months (and I take it off before showers or exercise). GLDN: I have 4 necklaces from GLDN now, because they’re reasonably priced, dainty, and hold up well to everyday wear. Here are some of my favorite pieces and why I love them. This is an approach I’ve been using for 3-ish years now and I now have a collection of everyday small jewelry that goes with everything. I embraced that I was extremely picky and started sending them hints for reasonably priced necklaces and earrings (because my mom, as wonderful as she is, has picked out some truly random jewelry for me over the years). The way I shifted this mindset was that I basically started asking for jewelry as gifts, mostly from Trevor, but also from my parents. I have no idea why some closet categories fall into this trap for me: I’ll buy myself pretty much any striped shirt I want, but a $50 necklace? Nooo. There was plenty of jewelry I wanted to have, but most of it was incredibly simple, and, for some reason, I never bothered to buy it.

But the truth was, I didn’t reach for my jewelry that often and it mostly gathered dust. Crew jewelry (please tell me you had one that was a bunch of crystal flowers?), Forever 21 impulse buys (whyyyy all the owl pendants) and the infamous Madewell arrow pendant (ok I still own that one).

I don’t know about you, but 2009-2013 for me were the years of the statement necklace. So today I’m discussing how I cleaned out my collection, learned to pick what I want, and how I manage jewelry minimalism these days! Plus, some mini-reviews of jewelry from brands you might have seen floating around online, including GLDN, Monica Vinader, and Mejuri. Having a capsule wardrobe is all about limiting closet choices to your favorites and wearing them again and again, but up until a few years ago I mostly had jewelry I thought was so-so, jewelry I hadn’t picked, and jewelry I hadn’t worn in forever. I have been meaning to talk about my favorite dainty, simple jewelry for some time now.
