Trend Watch: Wooden Jewelry
The latest trend I’m excited about is… wooden jewelry! I’m a strong supporter of unique and creative anything. I love when everyday objects or materials are used for a different purpose. I really love this aspect of fashion and I think the wooden jewelry trend does this for us. I tend to love nature-inspired fashion; it adds an authentic, eco-fabulous feel to any look. But wooden jewelry goes beyond this by using an unexpected material. When I say “jewelry,” you may automatically think of words, such as: gold, metal, sparkle, glitz. I wouldn’t expect wood to be on that list. That’s what makes this product so unique and special; it’s an everyday material that took an out-of-the-box thinker to create.
In the above set, I featured wooden jewelry; a gold-tone bangle and stud earrings. I’m starting to see this trend pop-up everywhere from Tory Burch to Guess to Nordstrom. But for this particular trend, I recommend searching Etsy. You can find a handmade, affordable, one-of-a-kind piece and support a small business (everyone wins!). It also brings some authenticity to your “natural” product.
To complete this look, I paired a grey and white Marc Jacobs striped blouse and a navy J.Crew mini with a bright yellow Ralph Lauren blazer. This look has a fabulous, flattering silhouette. Always say yes to flattering! I love the details of the blouse on a classic piece and the bright color pop on a neutral palette is fun. I accessorized with a brown Versace tote and brown Cole Haan glitter strap sandals.
Do you plan to add the wooden jewelry trend to your closet?
