Oh JCrew, how I love thee! You always make things look so fresh and chic! Do you get emails and catalogs from JCrew? I love going through their catalog for inspiration. And recently, Gayle Spannaus, fashion director and head stylist, sent an email about summer layering.
DRESS: old Limited {similar} // NECKLACES: 1 pink Lanvin {similar}, red Lanvin for H&M {LOVE but money tree needed} // 2 pearls from visiting my best friend {similar}, vintage thrifted here {white bib necklace} // 3 old F21 flower, Ann Taylor waterfall {cutie from Target} // 4 old F21 orange flower {make a statement in this! and cute F21 peach one}, turquoise gifted from MIL {similar}
So why not get more from your jewelry by layering! I thought it was a fun idea and tried out some different looks with chunkier necklaces. Gayle suggested “twisting them up up a bit so it seems unintentional, like one dramatic piece”. When I did that, they looked twisted up, very intentional – I must not have that magic fashion director touch!
Amazingly, I’ve tried necklace layering before here and here with thinner/smaller necklaces. Have you tried this and/or will you try this? What do you think?!
P.S. The cute photo collage layout?! Pugly Pixel of course! :)
Happy Monday! :)

I haven’t tried this but I love the look! I just got my first chunky necklace a few weeks ago and I for sure love it:)
i’m gonna have to try this layering!!!
what a great diy!
great combo choices!
Love this post! So many good ideas! Turquoise and red is one of my favorite color combos.
It’s hard to tell but the flower necklace is a bright tangerine!! BUT red and turquoise is a great combination also!!! :)

wow, i really love the F21 piece, looks very expensive. and you can really pull those lanvins off….
This is a difficult one for me. I don’t do big jewelry very well….fear of going overboard I guess.
It looks so effortless on you!
True Jeannie! Sometimes, I feel like my jewelry is out of control! I thought it was fun to try! Number 1 DEFINITELY makes a statement, so I would need to be in the right mind frame!
Love the layered necklaces.This looks great.
Great post. Love it Sam.

Sam! You’re so creative with this. And very photogenic too. I need to break those Lanvin for H&M necklace more often.
This is such a cute post! Learned lots from it!
I love the pink and red necklaces by Lanvin for H&M! Great picks!

Long time no chat! I hope all is well, I have not tried this whole layering necklace trend yet and love how you did it. #3 is my favorite. I also am impressed you can create 9 hairstyles! I probably can do only 3…it is so sad. Hope all is well and that you will experience the emotional brilliance line from LUSH.
I know Bessie!! I’m always behind – the story of my life! And you are NOT sad silly gal! I want to go to Dallas to check out the new emotional brilliance line! I LOVE that place! My nose goes into overload/overdrive when I’m there!
Wowza! I love this; the red and pink ones in #1 are definitely a show-stopping combo!! Thanks for the inspiration lovely! x
Wow they are all so gorgeous. I love every single one.
That first layered set is bright and fun! I’d love to see your husband’s grandma’s vintage outfits – post soon!
I know Mary Ann – I’m trying to organize everything so I can get the grandma outfit posts going!!!
i am a huge fan of piling on necklaces. you look great in all the pics, sam. :)
kisses,

I get the JCrew emails and catlogs too! I love looking through them for inspiration, but often I think some of the combos would only look good in a JCrew photo shoot, but they’re still fun! I was just in JCrew yesterday and watched a lady layer necklaces. I like your number 3 the best, they look like they were meant for each other!
Hi! we follow each other on Instagram and I saw this pic and loved it.

This necklace was inspired by many that I have bought over the years, mainly from J.Crew. I love long necklaces that can be layered or worn alone, and this one is mostly neutral with a bright pop of neon for a little added fun factor!
