Every once in a while, you get bored of your wardrobe and you feel like you need a little change. We’ve all experienced that feeling, especially when the seasons change or if you’re going on holiday and you want a bit of a refresh. Whether you want a complete change of style or just a little sprucing up of the current one, we’ve got you. The easiest way to feel like you’re making a change without having to spend loads of money is to switch up some of your accessories. And because a change should always add some positives, adding meaningful accessories into your looks is what you need. In this article, we have some advice on how to add meaningful pieces to your collection so you feel refreshed and ready for the holidays. Read along and get ready for a fun and stylish season!
Personal meaning
The easiest approach to start is with personal items that remind you of memories or experiences. A pendant necklace with a meaningful message or symbol can remind you of your ideals or ambitions every day. For a deeper meaning, look for cultural jewelry with symbols that represent your roots or sentimental family memories. Celtic inspired earrings are a great way to honor Irish heritage and start wearing meaningful personal pieces. Their designs are also great for summer, as they feature some nature inspired symbols. The best part is that you may personalize any outfit and feel more confident in your fashion by choosing accessories that are both beautiful and meaningful. And during your holidays, this is a nice extra touch to your looks.
Charity pieces
Next up, meaningful pieces can have meaning for those around you, not just for yourself. Consider buying some accessories that support causes or organizations that are important to you. There are many brands that offer jewelry collections that support charitable initiatives, with a portion of the proceeds going towards different causes. This is a really subtle way of adding meaning to your jewelry collection. Whether you’re passionate about environmental conservation, human rights, or animal welfare, there are plenty of accessories available that will allow you to wear your values proudly. You can find these in local stores, at charity events or online on small instagram shops or etsy stores. Most of the time, these pieces are also uniquely designed, so you’re getting the best of both worlds. The best part about this type of jewelry is that you’ll be able to easily spot other people who support the same causes as you.
Handmade beauty
Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of vintage or handmade accessories to add meaning to your outfits. Vintage pieces often come with a rich history and story behind them, adding character and depth to your look. Sometimes you might know the story, if it’s a piece passed down in your family. But even if you find something in a thrift store, imagining the previous life of the jewelry you’re wearing will make it more fun and meaningful. You can imagine it was worn by someone very important, or someone with a complex life story. Your imagination is all that matters. Also, handmade accessories crafted by artisans are usually full of cultural meaning and can have stories attached to them. They are also made with care and attention to detail and it allows you to support local businesses and promote them by wearing the jewelry. Plus, handmade means one of a kind, so you’ll add a unique touch to your looks.
