Jewelry-Wearing Made Easy (for Busy/Lazy People)
My life is very busy, so it’s hard for me to remember to wear my jewelry. I have three kids that I watch during the day and I also work. So, my daily personal priorities include showering and brushing my teeth – everything else is just considered “extras” - icing on the cake, if you will. This includes jewelry-wearing, and that, even is very low on the extras list.
I think I’ve mentioned before that I have jewelry organizers (and jewelry in general) all over my house. Upstairs, I have my first jewelry box with some of my nicer pieces. In the back of the bedroom closet is the expensive stuff.
But, you never can tell where I’m going to be doing my primping in the morning. Sometimes it is upstairs where I shower, but more often than not, it is downstairs. That is how I have come to neglect this finer point of appearance. Once I am downstairs, brushing my teeth in the bathroom (yes, I also have toothbrushes all over my house too) it is not likely (to put it mildly) that I’m going to go back upstairs to get jewelry to finish my look, especially with three toddlers running around.
So, I have willingly adapted to the life of a mother, and created a new system to make sure I leave the house looking respectable at least half the time. I now keep a small selection of everyday jewelry in the downstairs bathroom. That way I can either put it in on while brushing my teeth and hair or I can even just throw it in my purse or pocket and put it on when I get in the car.
Here are some tips if you are going to try this method:
1. Rotate the jewelry selection once a month
2. Don’t expect a lot of organization – I literally use an old gift box and throw everything in it (see image) - a basket would also work.
