Hi Everyone!
As you know, I LOVE J. Crew and Anthropologie jewelry. Lately, however, I’ve had trouble storing my necklaces so that they’re accessible when I’m putting an outfit together. Here’s how I currently store my jewelry:
Okay, so this is pretty ineffective jewelry storage. Most of the containers I’ve found, however, have very small necklace trays.
How do you store your jewelry? Do tell!
Finally, here is a quick snap of an OOTD featuring the J. Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Double-Serge Cotton in Succulent Green and one of my favorite Anthropologie necklaces, the Citrus Twist necklace:
Here is a closer picture of the necklace:
Thanks for stopping by!
That necklace is perfect with the green of the skirt! Great outfit (& picture!)I bought a couple of white canvas frames from the craft store (the kind you'd paint on, I guess) and hung them on the wall. I bought some bling-y thumbtacks and stuck them into the top wood edge of the canvas (in a horizontal row), and I hang necklaces from those. This way it is all in view and everything pops against the white background.
Cate: Thanks SO much for the kind compliment!!! What a great idea for jewelry storage. I totally agree with you that it's great to have everything in view.Thanks SO much for being here!
I had a post a few years ago that showed my jewelry storage.http://audreybella.blogspot.com/2009/12/jewelry-storage.htmlAlso, those pieces I don't wear very often stay in their boxes but I have little pictures taped to the side of them so I know what's in the box and never have to go through and open every single one.
audreybella: Thanks SO much!!! I remember seeing your post now. Thanks a bunch for the link! I really appreciate your help.Thanks SO much for being here!
Love your pencil skirt paired with the ever-so-cute Anthro necklace. What a perfect match!I don't have a huge selection of necklaces as yours but I have a necklace stand to hold all my necklaces so easier access to grab them. I used to hang them on knobs of drawers but then make it hard to open and close drawers.
Small Town Gal: Thanks SO much!!! A necklace stand is a great idea, and I think that I've found the perfect one. I'll post pictures soon!Thanks SO much for being here!
It is so great to see a OOTD from you!i dont have the perfect solution for storing my jewelry either,but i use cute plates and bowls from anthropologie to store it.So i can see and enjoy it,even if i dont wear it.
Ina: Thanks SO much!!! I promise to post more outfits!!! Lately, I've felt like my outfits aren't photographing well. You know how that great outfit in your head doesn't translate well when you snap the picture? I'm hoping that those days are over!Thanks SO much for being here!
You are too cute!! Love the picture of you and your husband, Rynetta!
WMM: Awwwww, thanks SO much! You're super sweet!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Yay! An OOTD of the day! The green looks beautiful on your Rynetta and very classy with the white button up :)I use a cupcake tiered serving tray for my bracelets (I could never find a jewelry tree big enough for all my bracelets :)) I'm with Ina – if I don't see my jewelry, then I rarely wear it. I'm a visual person 🙂
em in espana: I know!!! Thanks SO much! I promise to post more outfits!!! The No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Succulent Green is my absolute favorite color of the season! Like you and Ina, I'm a visual person. Great idea about the cupcake tiered serving tray!Thanks SO much for being here!
Loving your outfit, the Citrus Twist necklace, and the photo of you as a sweet couple! Who is hiding behind you? She looks very well-dressed, too!As far as jewelry storage, I hang a few pretty necklaces from randomly placed hooks on the wall, but most of it goes into small ziploc-type baggies, one baggie per necklace or bracelet or pair of earrings. All my few rings go in one small bag. I just toss all the bags into one of the smaller drawers of the dresser, but have no trouble finding them thanks to the transparent bags. Admittedly this strategy isn't optimal for delicate pieces, so the few I have of those reside in a ceramic box with lid on top of the dresser, or they hang from a wall hook. (I also store my way-too-many scarves the same way, folded up in larger ziplocs, in their own drawer.)
flaminga: Thanks SO much!!! LOL about the woman hiding behind us! I have no idea who she is, LOL!!!OOOOOO, great idea about clear bags. I need another post asking for help with my scarves; they are all over the place in my closet!Thanks SO much for being here!
When DH bought a giant flat-screen TV a couple of years ago, I had to do something with the media armoire in which we stored our old 27" TV. I moved it to my "boudoir" and converted it to a sweater cabinet by closing up the open back and lining it with cedar strips. MUCH more room than a cedar chest, LOL! I put a row of hooks inside the doors on which to hang my costume necklaces–it is probably not ideal to hang them for storage, but since I made most of them myself I can fix them if need be.
Hexicon: A jewelry chest is on my "amazing husband please buy me this" list!!!! I'll let you know how that works out, LOL!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
I don't have much jewelry to worry about storage YET. :)Love the necklace! You and hubby look cute together!
Rose: Thanks SO much for the kind compliment!!! I can't stop laughing about your YET comment!!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Hi!I use the hanging jewelry organizers like in this link:http://www.organize.com/hanging-jewelry-organizer.htmlI bought several of them from Joan Rivers on QVC. They have velcro loops for necklaces and bracelets and others have clear pockets for earrings, etc. They have storage on both sides. I have mine hanging in my walk in closet room right with my clothing, so I can match jewelry to my outfit. I love these organizers and I love being able to see my jewelry all at once. I think these organizers are genius!
Hi Stray Cat!Thanks SO very much for the link to these jewelry organizers. I really appreciate the help!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
You look amazing in your OOTD!!My jewelry stash is smaller and mostly comprises earrings, but I purchased a couple shadow boxes in Marshalls for $20 and use them as jewelry storage.Here's how one looks: http://web.stagram.com/p/215097876740085340_9665548
Economy of Style: Thanks SO much!!! I felt great in this outfit.And, thanks SO much for the jewelry storage ideas. I really appreciate the help!Thanks SO much for being here!
Oh if I could rifle through your jewelry drawers, haha! I bought one of those 3-tier velvet jewelry display stands a few weeks back from Amazon – they have a ton of selection for cheap. My jewelry still doesn't look awesome, but at least everything is out and easy to reference.
Lisa: LOL! I wish that you could rifle through my jewelry drawers too! I know that you'd help me create some fabulous outfit combinations!!! OOOOO, thanks for the idea about Amazon.com!Thanks SO much for being here!
Try searching "necklace storage" on Pinterest, there are some cute and simple options for hidden storage and out in the open storage that doubles as room decor. (PS. Love your reviews!)
Hwin: Great idea!!! I searched Pinterest and I found several useful ideas! And, I'm so glad that the reviews are helpful!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Another good source for hanging necklace-type storage is Urban Outfitters. I have a metal birdcage like piece on my wall that I love.
CharlotteSometimes: Great idea–thanks SO much!Thanks SO much for being here!
I love how you paired the skirt – I just picked it up yesterday 🙂
Julie: Thanks SO much! You're going to love this skirt. I can't wait to see how you style it! I picked up a duplicate since I love this color so much!Thanks SO much for being here!!
I treated myself to a "jewelry armoire" a few years ago, and it's been great. It's got a lift-up top, with holders for rings and delicate earrings, a divided drawer (small squares) for pins and large earrings, another divided drawer (rectangles) for bracelets, watches, heavy bead necklaces which shouldn't hang, an undivided drawer for larger stuff, and two "front doors" which each have hooks for chains. Whew. That's it. I don't like to hang anything that's "strung." The armoire lives in my closet, where it stands on a (very) narrow chest of drawers that holds small purses and, um, stuff.
wellfedfred: Thanks SO much for this idea; your armoire sounds divine. Like you, I don't like to hang things that are already "strung," so I think that's why my necklaces are all in boxes or drawers. Thanks again!Thanks SO much for being here!
You have such gorgeous jewelry, Rynetta! I love the Citrus Twist necklace with your J.Crew pencil skirt…so pretty! :)I've done a couple of jewelry storage posts on my blog in the past. The most recent one is here, and shows what I'm currently using to store all my jewelry pieces.
Fabulous Florida Mommy: Thanks SO much!!! This is one of my favorite outfit combinations. And, thanks SO much for suggesting Etsy. I forgot about your seller feature, so thanks for the link. I think that I've found just the right jewelry storage!!Thanks SO much for being here!
You look great in the succulent green skirt. I bought velvet flocked jewelry stands from Ebay, like the ones you see in the store. Best idea ever. At least for me. The boxes stopped working for me, but I keep them for heavier or more special pieces.
Gigi: Thanks SO much!!! I love the succulent green color so much that I had to grab a duplicate of this skirt! OOOOO, great idea about the velvet flocked jewelry stands–thanks!!!. The boxes are not working for me anymore. I can't see everything I have. And, I'm definitely a visual girl.Thanks SO much for being here!
