IMPACT OF GOOD ACCESSORIES
Now is a better time than ever to emphasize the impact accessories have on your look. In 2020, it’s all zoom calls and face time whether for business or to talk to loved ones. We’re also spending more time than ever on social media. We’re taking up creating tik-toks and IG reels to pass the time and entertain ourselves.
For myself, talking to the camera on Instagram stories is a part of my job and imho I’ve mastered looking put together and glam from the chest up.
The Key: ACCESSORIZE! I’ve found a cute oversized tee or sweatshirt with layered necklaces, rings and bracelets will sass your look all the way up!
All of my custom name and initial jewelry pieces are from my shop, shopjuliamarie.com and for most of my other pieces Amazon has been my best friend.
In addition to jewelry I’m never without sunglasses. I’m so big on sunglasses because I have very sensitive eyes so I’m never without a pair. Even during overcast the sun bothers my eyes, I squint and get headaches easily. I have sunglasses in my purse, car console, the entry table in my home, on the shelves of my sunglass wall in my closet. I mean I don’t have that many pairs, maybe 10-20. Regardless, they’re my top must have accessory items.
I’ve rounded up some of my current favorite accessory looks you’ve 100% seen on my Instagram stories below.
CHUNKY NAME NECKLACE + AVIATORS
ALL of this is a favorite combo. Maybe because I just got the sweatshirt, sunglasses and necklace combo so it’s fresh!
CHUNKY NAME NECKLACE
This is one of the newest (and most popular) pieces in my shop. It gives full 90’s vibes, it’s edgy and cool. This necklace sold out in 3 weeks when it was first debuted so def jump on it if you want to add it to your collection.
ROPE CHAIN
I bought this rope chain (Hello, 90’s style, again!) specifically to frame my chunky name necklace. This is an 18″ chain, I absolutely could have gotten a 20″ chain but do like how close it is to the Chunky Name Necklace. It makes it a little more statement-y.
AVIATOR SUNGLASSES
These are the newest addition to my collection and tbh this is the 3rd pair of this style from Quay I bought and by far my most favorite. I bought the solid black and this color to compare and I took the solid back right back to the store when my package arrived. In addition to the colorway I’m wearing here I also have the gold frames and lenses … as much as I love gold this black pair is IT for me right now!
HEART RING
This fun girly, low key childish, heart ring is the latest addition to my shop, shopjuliamarie.com It’s available in sizes 4.5-11 but I thought it would be cute as a pinky ring so that’s what I did.
This is a great piece to wear layered and stacked for a fun, trendy look. It’s also a great gift idea for younger ladies in your life, elementary to high school aged.
The Heart Ring is available in 18kt Gold dipped or Sterling Silver so you don’t have to worry about fading or it changing colors.
HOOP EARRINGS
With masks being the unexpected trend and necessity of 2020 I had to trade in my large hoops for a smaller style that is more mask friendly. I found this pair on Amazon in the $15 range. They’re light weight and do the job. Chic and trendy with the right amount of gold umph.
SWEATSHIRT
I would be lying if this wasn’t a 100% impulse quarantine purchase. Emily Ann Gemma posted a IG and a few stories wearing this and I said, “you need that” and purchased it right away. Normally I would never spend $70 on a trendy sweatshirt but it’s Quarantine and I was emo shopping and sweatshirts are all I’ll be wearing the next 6 months.
Imho, it really elevates your chest up game aka stories, Tik-Toks, facetimes etc. It’s also comfortable and easy. BTW, I did size up.
I regret nothing and if you got it ($70), I’d buy it! (again)
SOLID GOLD NAME NECKLACE + HEART SUNGLASSES
SOLID GOLD NAME NECKLACE
This necklace has been on my wishlist for a while. I’m talking a year or so. It’s another piece from my shop.
What I love most about this piece is the quality, it is absolutely stunning! The twist chain gives it a subtle glisten.
I bought mine on a 16″ chain, 14kt solid gold. White Gold is also available.
It took me so long to buy it because it is a little more pricey, as expected, and I have 3 of the plated Carrie Name Necklaces in different sizes and chain lengths. In addition, I have at least one of every style I’ve ever carried in my shop, that’s A LOT of name necklaces. Another Carrie Name Necklace was never a priority however, I finally splurged as I’ve had and worn this style 6+ years so I know it’s worth investing in.
HEART SUNGLASSES
YSL dupes, Amazon! I thought this were a “No, thanks!” when they first came out. Then they began to wear on me so I figured $10 was an okay amount spend to see if I like them. Long story short, they became my car sunglasses for about a year and every time I went through Starbucks drive through employees would meet me at the window to compliment them.
HEART EARRINGS
BIG sorry! This are from last years Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. They sold out this first day and it took my 4 days to track them down. They eventually restocked a few months later but they’ve been discontinued as far as I know. They are Baublebar if you want to try to find them.
BODYSUIT
Quarantine shopping made me finally pull the plug and place my first Abercrombie order. They have a really strong Influencer program and all the girls I see talking about them always recommend the basics so I took it too far and order a few.
Y’all! It’s not just hype, they’re bodysuits really are amazing! I ended up buying 4 different styles and got black and white in all 4 styles for a total of 8. Do I need 8? Sure, why not! I wear them all.
I bought my TTS in all of them. I do prefer the seamless styles. They’re a little more but the quality is worth it.
SHORTS
Another, sorry! I bought this the first week of quarantine back in March, a ton of you bought them but a lot of you slept on them. Unfortunately, they are sold out now. They’re Madewell but I’m not sure of the style name or length.
CAT EYE SHEILD SUNGLASSES + HEART RING
CAT EYE SUNGLASSES
Another Amazon find! I actually bought this style in a brown ombre color from Nordstrom but when I went to share with you guys they had sold out so I went to Amazon to see if Jeff had a similar pair and found these.
It took me a while to purchase the black myself but I’m so glad I did, I love this pair. Definitely recommend!
NAME NECKLACE

DRESS
Zara. Found it in store. Haven’t seen it online. It is new though. I bought my TTS!
That’s all I know, please don’t stalk me on Instagram with comments and DM’s I swear that is all the information I have and repeatedly asking isn’t going to make me magically have more info.
I’m laughing as I typed that, but I’m serious.
HEART INITIAL RING

DOME RING
Amazon! $15
J RING
Found this on Amazon after seeing Instagram ads with this style ring 1000 times. $10 ish
SCRIPT NAME NECKLACE + THIN LARGE HOOPS
SCRIPT NAME NECKLACE
Hands down to most popular item and #1 seller from my shop this year is the Script Name Necklace. It’s available in 18kt gold or 18kt rose gold dipped over sterling silver.
I wear mine on a 16″ chain.
LARGE HOOP EARRINGS
As a hoop girl no collection is complete without a large pair of thin hoop earrings. I found this pair in store at Nordstrom Rack but linked a similar pair from Amazon
LV LOCKET NECKLACE
LOCKET NECKLACE
My locket necklace is a DIY I made with my Locket from my Alma bb and a $10 handbag chain I bought from Amazon. Amazon has been my best friend in quarantine what can I say?
I linked a product listing from ETSY, a few bloggers I know have the version from the listing so it’s legit from my understanding.
AMAZON BRACELETS + RINGS

NAME RING
The newest addition to my shop is this Name Ring. It’s fun and casual, I love it paired with the heart ring and thin basic bands. It just says 1992 in 2020 and I’m here for it!
I will not lie I bought this with the intention of it to fit my middle finger but I underestimated just how chunky my fingers are so … here we are … on the ring finger.
BANDS
Amazon, set of 8, $10
My love bracelets and nail bangles are also from Amazon, they typically sell out within a day or two and don’t return for months.
I check at least twice a week for new listings and share on both my IG stories and LTKit as soon as I find them. Follow me on both of those channels if you want restock alerts.
