That's so interesting that you mention this! I always take jewelry off because I can't sleep in it. But your reply made me think to when I stopped regularly wearing my jewelry several months ago and it was during a kind of sad and stressful period in my life. Now that I am feeling much better, I feel the urge to wear my jewelry but I just forget or am rushing to get out of the house.
I hear you! I think when we're feeling down we tend to care a little less about dressing to the nines. Glad to hear you're feeling better now. Enjoy that jewelry girl!
 
I only buy jewelry I can shower and sleep in, no forgetting things you don't take off! :biggrin:

^^ this!

I think I stopped removing my earrings months and months ago. I just couldn’t be bothered anymore - as I have a mad routine in the mornings! . I sleep and shower with them. So I grab my watch and rings in the mornings and put them on the way out and not worry about earrings anymore.
 
I plan outfits on Sunday and put my jewelry out then. It lets me enjoy my collection because I see it sitting out, works as a countdown to the weekend and keeps me on time getting out the door. Sometimes I will make myself wear all the jewelry in one drawer until it all gets a wear. Keeps me from getting in a rut

I do the same thing. Without making time to plan my outfits or jewelry (on the weekend for the following week) I end up wearing the same thing because I don’t have creative energy or time in the morning! It takes me less than 10 minutes to get dressed.

By “shopping my closet” for a bit I’m reminded of all the many options I have available, plus I’m more likely to mix and match different brands to create a more interesting look.
 
Another thing I do to remember to wear everything is build an outfit around a particular piece of jewelry. Since accessories are where I spend my money, this is a fun activity.

So if I’m going to pull out a statement necklace that hasn’t seen enough wear, I’ll pick an appropriate top that pulls it off and complementary earrings, etc.

Honestly if only i could wear all my rings at onece, i would lol, my cartier trinity ring i wear everyday even while sleeping. I take it off when i im doing household chores or showering. And i interchange my diamond solitaire ring and a platinum ring. Thats the two i wear often. Sometimes i use my other rings too that match my outfit but thats only when im out. As soon as i come home i use my solitaire or the platinum diamond rings. I have a pearl ring i try to wear once a month starting spring because i heard that pearl deteriorates if you dont use it. Your natural oil moisturizes it through usage. I only wear earrings during work, necklace during occasions. I have a gold bangle i wear everyday and bracelet during weekends.
 
Wish I had all of you to help me organize and plan my wardrobe and jewelry each week! I'm pretty last-minute about clothing choices in the morning, and could do better. As far as jewelry, you've gotten some great tips above. What I would add is: if you ever find yourself having dashed out of the house without jewelry, consider keeping a not-too-valuable necklace and earrings in your handbag, desk, gym bag, or hidden in your car. Occasionally I leave the house having forgotten to put on jewelry, especially if I'm going to the gym first (not happening much lately, hah). Then later in the day I wish I had some earrings, at least, to brighten up my face. I try to keep a simple silver set with me for emergencies. (What's a jewelry emergency? :P)

The other thing this helps me with is avoiding the impulse buy of jewelry I'm not likely to wear often - I'm a sucker for craft fairs, fundraisers, and independent jewelry boutiques. If I have an extra set I like with me, I'm less likely to buy something on impulse, especially when I'm traveling.

I always go over board with jewelry. I remind myself of this lady from titanic [emoji23]

I leave a pair of pearl studs in my office. I have many pairs of earrings but that's the one that has been used most since I forget wearing earrings while leaving in the morning.
Consider getting a dainty chain pendant that you love in gold that you can put on and pretty much forget about it. That way it stays on.
Ditto for a basic gold bangle.
