Spring Summer sees accessories come into a whole new light. Suddenly, we have arms to show off bangles, and we can opt for a lower neckline to be a canvas for some statement necklaces. It's all very fun, and very very fashionable. Layering your accessories has been pioneered by Olivia Palermo, who is a total pro at stacking bangles and bracelets on both arms as well as adorning her fingers with lots of rings. But if you don't have Olivia's budget, how can you layer up the jewels for less?
Rings are the easiest, and thanks to multipacks from Claire's Accessories, Penneys and Accessorize you can try the trend without spending a fortune. I also adore the midi ring trend which you can add to an index finger that might well already have a ring on it. The whole thing is more is more. Stick to one metal for rings so that the look blends nicely.

Try wearing a short style just at your collar bone, then layer a longer one with it. I think this looks great if you are wearing a simple top or a block colour. Avoid if you are wearing print as you won't see any of your styling!

Also, you stack on your arms, mix and match chunkier bangles with daintier bracelets. The contrast makes for great arm candy in the summer when you wear short sleeves.
