Beat the Fall Bulkiness with Michael Hill Jewelers

Falling temperatures have us bundling up to stay warm. With all of that layering comes a looooot of material piling up. You may find yourself asking, “What is the best way to combat the bulkiness of sweaters, coats, and vests??”

My go-to secret – choosing dainty accessories to compliment the bulkiness. I find that small, delicate pieces bring femininity back into an otherwise heavy look. With specialty trinkets trending in fashion magazines and blogs everywhere, there’s never been a better time to hop on board the “trinket trend” and invest in these pieces.

I was able to share one of my favorite necklaces for the season in this fall look. This outfit is one of my favorites for fall because it contains so many trends, yet is comfy and keeps me warm. #priorities.

I started off with a black long sleeve shirt and jeans. These jeans are stretchy and feel as free as leggings! I then added a grey plaid cape for warmth and style – It’s a definite statement piece! As much as I love the cape, it’s quite large and bulky. I finished off this look with my trusty black booties that are comfortable to wear out all night and my favorite black handbag.

When I was considering what accessories to wear, I didn’t want to choose a statement piece that would conflict with the cape and overpower the outfit. Instead, I chose to wear a beautiful cross pendant necklace from one of my favorite local jewelry stores, Michael Hill Jewelers. Its simple sophistication does not rival the size of the cape in any way, and contrasts nicely as a delicate and feminine detail.

In case you’re unfamiliar, Michael Hill Jewelers is a New Zealand-born family business that brought its specialty fine jewelry to the US nearly 10 years ago, with six locations here in Chicago area. The great thing about Michael Hill is that its mission is to provide handcrafted, luxury jewelry that is accessible to all – which means we can have our cake and eat it too! While I love my dainty cross pendant, Michael Hill Jewelers also offers a wide selection of charms, engagement and wedding rings, earrings and more!
