Bead by Bead: Discover Your Jewelry Stacking Style
By: Marlowe Overocker
Let’s master the art of accessorizing together.
I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for a personality quiz...and a curated accessory stack...and an excuse to shop like my bank account isn’t judging me.
If you agree, keep reading.
From crafting beaded friendship bracelets to layering the ultimate beaded jewelry stack for a night out, beads transcend childhood nostalgia. A form of self-expression, they spark creativity and conversations–there's nothing else quite like it. Not to mention, there’s something deeply satisfying about a well curated stack, possibly the feminine urge to gather? Who knows, but it just works.
All that to say: beads are unique, just like you! So, let’s find your type.

Where to wear: festivals, beach days

P.S. THERE’S MORE: A HAIR STACK FOR EVERY STYLE
Why stop there?
When it comes to stacking, a more is more approach is needed. For hair lovers and adventurists alike, I DARE you to take it up a notch and dress up your tresses with hair accessories.

Accessories hold a special place in my heart because of their transformative nature. They can take an outfit from a 2 to a 10, instantly. So, don’t be afraid to experiment with stacking your beaded necklaces, bracelets, anklets–even hair accessories! Whether you’re a free spirit, trendsetter, or minimalist, juxtaposition makes the outfit more interesting.
The only rule is...there are no rules, so mix, match, and stack!
You’re gonna look so fab.
XOXO, FP
