Layer It On!

Accessories take any outfit from plain, to fabulous! For those of you working with a capsule wardrobe, accessories are your best friend – allowing you to change up your entire look – at anytime.

But, before I get rolling on todays post, I have a fun little thing to share. Little is actually an understatement – this was EPIC!

Have you ever thought about shopping your girlfriends closet? Thursday night, I co-hosted a clothing swap with two girlfriends; the motivational and inspiring Kanesha Baynard, from BoldLivingToday.com , along with our hostess with the mostess, our dear friend Michelle. Not any clothing swap ladies, this was a Sip and Swap, beyond my wildest expectations!

I’ll be sharing more on this fun event, photos and all very soon. Plus, Kanesha and I are already working on a “How to Guide”,  if you are looking to try this out on your own. While planning this event, there wasn’t much info available, to help guide us through the process – so we’ll be making our own guide. I have to say, our event was a huge success, and I’ll be sharing more, in my next few posts, on Ask Suzanne Bell – stay tuned!

click HERE, to pop on over to Facebook,

and view this video of Kanesha and I, recorded 5 minutes prior to the start of this wild and crazy event!

I’ll leave you with Toni and Jennie,

 Ask Suzanne Bell readers, and very happy swappers..so much more to come!

Next up, you all know I LOVE accessories. Accessories take any outfit from plain, to fabulous! For those of you working with a capsule wardrobe, accessories are your best friend – allowing you to change up your entire look – at anytime.

Lately, I’ve been wearing 4 key pieces.

Gorjana Pressed Taner Long Necklace, similar HERE or Small Bar Pendant HERE

or

Gorjana Lariat | similar HERE | HERE

You can see me wearing this exact lariat, dressed up, in the video from last night (above). I styled it up with a DVF wrap dress (from last nights swap). Another look, dressed down, below.

Gorjana Crescent Drop Earrings, on sale now at GILT, HERE ($19.00!)

Gorjana Cersi Cuff, similar HERE | HERE |  all cuffs HERE

Alexis Bittar Liquid Gold Layered Ring, HERE (also available in rose gold, HERE)

Think of these 4 pieces as the starting point of your layered look.

The Gorjana lariat, is a newer addition, to my collection.

Here’s a few I’m loving right now, over at Nordstrom:

I’ll leave you with this fabulous piece, from Kendra Scott...yes, it’s on the wish list!

Have any of you hosted or attended a clothing swap?

Do you enjoying layering jewelry pieces, or do you gravitate towards one statement piece.

What are you all thinking of lariats, yes or no?

I love Gorjana, anyone else?
