I have been really swamped with a multitude of tasks,
but I was finally able to take a moment and catch up with ordinary weekend
activities, i.e., reading my enormous pile of fine art, fashion, and trade periodicals.
Thankfully the abundant mountain of glossies has vanished, as there were heavy
moments of weeding out what was actually relevant and important. But, I had a
fun time creating collages and tearsheets for art projects as I listened to old
records. It was also a temporary pastime for a rainy day, as I sorted out bins and drawers full of
other crafty notions.
I am working on several new accessory projects, which also
inspired my jewellery selections for this outfit some time ago. Dainty chains
and crosses have been a favourite of mine, even since my teens—I wore punk
styled jewellery and cross styles always came into the picture.

So far, my favourite pieces from the Born Pretty store that
I have worn are my watches, the crown pendant, and this silver
cross necklace. It’s so unique and I almost want another cross to be dangling
somewhere in the middle of the two (which I might add later on). I liked a few of these rings, but the other pieces were very small and some just weren't practical for wearing all day.
I decided to wear this body chain doubling-up with the silver
twin cross necklace. Even though one style is silver and one has a gold colour,
I wanted to wear them both just to show them together. Although, it took a bit
to carefully put on, I will likely wear the body chain separately in the
future.
Do you ever mix your
metals and jewellery accessories together?

Really loving that silver cross necklace,Madison. Too awesome. I'm not of an accessory girl, but I do love them on others.:)
ReplyDeleteI actually think silver and gold go nicely together. I used to avoid gold but when it came time to buy our wedding rings I wanted the gold traditional and ever since I mix gold and silver (though silver is my no.1 love and most of our gold jewerly got stolen when our house was robbed two years ago)
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I really like how you accessoried here...and I can see why you say they are your fav pieces....I especially like the body chain.
have a lovely day beautiful!
Hi Madison! Yep, sometimes I mix metals too, the body chain is super cool, love the cross necklace, I have a crush on cross jewelry too! you rock in the pics! Have a lovely day dear, kisses! xo

Hi Madison, the jewellery looks super cool. Just what I love. I prefer delicate pieces like that. That double cross necklace is my favorite. I haven't mixed metal and jewellery together but it sounds like a great idea. Have a wonderful day!

I still have a stack of magazines to look through too! It seems like a burden until I actually start doing it, then I have so much fun! I love those Born Pretty rings, such a great accessory.

Ich ziehe nie viel Schmuck an. Lieber wenig, aber besondere Teile. So wie deine Auswahl, die gefällt mir seht gut.
ReplyDeleteMost interesting and always beautiful, dear madison.

I love stacking jewellery. All these pieces are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteMadison these rings are so pretty. I love how dainty they are but yet still very effective to your outfit. Your skirt and tank top almost give the impression of a dress, I love it. The neutral colour scheme works beautifully. :)
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Daniella xox
I love your sense of style!
ReplyDeleteWish I could have some catch-up time... Great that you are so focused and organized!
ReplyDeleteYou have been a busy bee Madison! Gorgeous jewelry! I love how you style and wear it. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love all of the layering in this look, Madison - it's so daring and edgy, yet somehow just the right amount of subdued. I realise I'm not making sense but I know what I mean and it is a compliment ;) I'm particularly fond of your mix of accessories, they all work so well together. And that hat! Just perfect.
ReplyDeletexox,

I want a body chain too. I have never had one but i just feel they are super sexy. You look really nice by the way. I really like how you accessorized here. So beautiful.

I love that body chain, so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI could never ever wear rings that way as much as I'd love to. I'm sure I'm ring-free by the end of the day. Hahaha. As I've mentioned on Instagram Madison, you're looking fab and sexy :) Have a lovely day x
ReplyDeleteSo fun how you mixed the jewelry together!

Lovely simplicity to your outfit in order to focus on the fine detail of the chains and rings.
ReplyDeleteI mix silver and gold in rings worn together, but then tend to stick to one or the other in further accessories.
Liebe Rena, Vielen Dank für Deinen Kommentar. Ja, es ist schon sehr beschäftigt! :-) Ich wünsche Dir eine wundervolle Woche.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße,

Jewellery can so easily transform an otherwise simple outfit as you have shown here and what a pretty selection of rings. I like both silver and gold and often wear them together. In fact I have a few pieces which are dual colours. Thank you as always for your comment. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI am actually a big fan of mixing metals… but I do try and incorporate a piece that does it for me when I do it (makes it feel more intentional). Love how you showcased these items!
ReplyDeleteThe body chain is amazing, beautiful. Der Hut ist aber übrigens auch klasse;)

Great rings I love the midi rings at the moment. I'm desperate to get a client to wear them but I haven't really had one that they'd suit yet. The body chain is pretty epic too!
ReplyDeleteI agree miss b, Jewellery/accessories can really take a simple outfit to a whole other level. Enjoy your week! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Alexis! I'm a fan of mixing metals in certain pieces, but especially love pieces that are already made that way. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße,

Thanks! Yeah, midi rings aren't for everyone, but I still really love the look of them! :)
ReplyDeleteYour jewelry is very interesting, I dig it!
