Style Update: Accessorizing (Featuring Julep + Soufeel)

I’m trying with the whole fashion thing, friends.  I am.  But I’m just discovering that I’m a very simple girl with very plain style.  I’m okay with it, I think.  I mean, the point isn’t to push myself into being someone I’m not.  The point is to curate my style to look nice but to also still be me, right?

So I’m finding out something I already knew about myself.  I’m a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl.  I prioritize comfort over all else.  There’s a right way to maintain that style while still looking put together.  I’m still working on it.  How do you girls do it?

Simple doesn’t have to mean frumpy, I’m learning.  I’ve found myself craving certain pieces of jewelry (a new experience for me, I can assure you).  I’m always going to gravitate towards the $9 super comfortable, casual cotton tops at Target.  I’m forever going to hunt down the perfect pair of jeans.  It’s just who I am.  But a few pieces of simple jewelry can tie everything together.  Thank goodness for that.  I look slightly ridiculous when I edge out of my comfort zone.  Ridiculous isn’t exactly what I’m going for here.

Lately, I’ve been loving this charm bracelet.  Since I was a kid, I’ve had an obsession with personal expression in this way.  Remember the old, chain style charm bracelets?  I had one that I just adored.  I collected charms that meant something to my life at the time.  I specifically remember the flute, book, music note, ballet slippers, and the snowman.  Yeah, I’ve always been this cool.  I’m not sure whatever happened to it.  Mom?  


While I really love the simplicity of the Pandora bracelets, I can’t justify the price tag.  This one is extremely similar, and it does actually fit Pandora charms (you know, in case I ever pull the trigger on one) and the Soufeel charms fit the Pandora Chamilia bracelet (but cost much less).  I chose Murano glass charms because they reminded me of my mom.  She spent a few weeks in Italy a couple years ago and came back raving about all of the Murano glass.  The pieces are all made with 925 sterling silver, and they have new, pre-sale charms every month.

I’m still on the hunt for a few dainty, long chained necklaces (recommendations?).  And I do believe my next step will be to invest in a nice pair of earrings.  I tend to lose earrings freakishly fast, so I think my only real option is to invest in a pair I can always wear (I’m lusting after a pair of diamond studs).

I think as long as I make the effort to accessories and wear the right shoes, this whole simple style thing might just work out.  Here’s hoping, right?

  4. I feel you — I'm a total t-shirt and jeans girl too. Although, these days I'm lucky if I swap out yoga pants for jeans. But, I totally agree that jewelry can make a big difference. Love the bracelet and nail color!

  5. I am 100% the same. I don't enjoy fashion. I just want to wear things that make me feel good about me and above all else are comfortable. A simple t-shirt and jeans is my weekend outfit. Always. I wear the same 5 pieces of jewelry every day as well. Nothing wrong with being you!! There's only one you. 🙂

    I never heard of this bracelet before. I do have the pandora bracelet but it was a gift. I do love bangle version though, and what a great deal at $25.00 Have you looked at etsy for some necklace options.

  9. Nothing wrong with jeans and T-shirt. same here. I try to slowly get rid of T-shirts and only wear those at home or when I work out {like walk, gym, etc}, not when I go out…not even to the grocery store. Tiny steps. I have a few blouses that aren't too girlie, or too uncomfortable…those are the ones I incorporate into my more "grown-up" outfits. 🙂
