I'm a big fan of breaking the traditional fashion "rules", because when done correctly, black and brown can look banging, horizontal stripes can flatter and, well, you already know how I feel about wearing
white after Labor Day. The same goes for
mixing gold and silver.
My love for paired metals began when I first moved to New York and started amassing my collection of vintage jewels. Most of them are costume pieces and as they started to age and tarnish, it was hard to distinguish which were originally gold and which were silver. I found that mixing the pieces together, however, looked purposeful and eclectic.
Last year, I received my ultimate gold and silver dream piece in the form of a large
men's two-tone chronograph watch by Burberry, that I wear religiously. But because of its size, it felt too big to mix with my other bracelets, and though I love my watch, I've been missing them ever since. That is, until now.
I've decided to thrown all caution to the wind and follow my own advice by ditching the "rules" and declaring that less is just less and really, more is more! I love how the ladies in these photos have mastered the art of
jewel layering. Go ahead and pile it on! After all, the holidays are all about excess, right?
