Take It From: Carrie

You can thank our good friend Carrie for making the "name necklace" appropriate...again? Not sure it was ever considered fashion forward, actually. It has always been worn by inner-city/urban teens to express their appreciation for the cool name their momma gave'em and well, I'm not ashamed of my name either!! In fact, I've decided to show it off! I think as long as you do it right you'll always have a unique keepsake that makes you look edgy & stylish. Check out my pics below.

I needed earrings that I could wear daily and were ME (I guess, literally). I've been so used to changing out a bunch of cute Anthropologie (favorite place for cute studs)earrings. I only change these for a special/fancy occasion like a wedding. Love it!

You didn't think I would do 2 of name earring, did ya?!?  (haha)  That would be over-kill. I changed it up for the left side with simple hoops that I absolutely adore. If I didn't have the name earring I'd probably do 2 simple hoops on each side. Check out some other cool alternatives below:

I'm in love with the font he chose!! 

Isn't this a cute alternative to the bamboo "name-earring"?

L.C.'s "name - ring" is a double finger and its size and font make it chic & feminine.

Queen B. likes hers barely there. Her "name-ring" wraps around her middle finger. She's edgy in a subtle way.

Next up: a double toe "name-ring"?!? (haha) Hey, if you have cute toes and you know it, slap it on! Just try not to get name happy. I think you should pick one body part and Name it!

More outfit pics coming soon! xo
