Bracelets are an accessory that has been worn since 5000 BC, dating back to the Egyptians. Right now, wearing multiple stacked bracelets and even wearing them on both arms is in fashion. I have multiple costume jewelry bracelets. As with most of my other accessories, the 80-20 rule applies to my bracelets. It seems I wear 20% of the same bracelets, 80% of the time.
I have a walk-in closet and a dresser area with a mirror where I get ready every morning. The last things I put on are the accessories. My closet is pretty organized, I have select drawers and jewelry boxes where I keep my costume jewelry. Last year, I purchased a hanging jewelry organizer. I originally planned to place it on the wall behind the closet door, then realized it was more practical to place it next to the area where my dressing area is, since that is where I get ready every morning. Every night, I will lay out the jewelry that I plan to wear on the dresser. I started to notice I was wearing the jewelry from this hanging organizer more often and would sometimes forget I had the other bracelets stored in the jewelry drawers and jewelry boxes. Does this happen to you too?
On a recent visit to The Container Store with my hubby, I noticed an acrylic jewelry stand. I bought it so I could keep additional bracelets on my dresser area. If I see the bracelets out and keep them handy, I will wear them more often. I was pleased with the number of bracelets that fit on the stand. I may need to buy one or two more jewelry stands for the other bracelets I have in the drawers.
How do you organize your bracelets? Do you have many bracelets? Does the 80-20 rule apply to your jewelry wearing habits?

One the jewelry box drawers where I stored bracelets.
I also stored bracelets in a drawer.
The hanging jewelry organizer (similar one sold at The Container Store & Bed Bath & Beyond). I keep bracelets in the larger compartments.
The acrylic jewelry stand from The Container Store.
Initially I placed 8 bracelets on the stand.
Then, I noticed I could place a few more on the bottom section, to maximize the use of the stand (the bracelets on the bottom are cuffs that open on one side).

Las pulseras son un accesorio que ha sido usado desde 5000 AC, desde los tiempos de los Egipcios. Ahorita, usar varias pulseras a la vez esta muy demora. Tengo varias pulseras de fantasía y como la mayoría de mi joyería, la regla del 80-20 aplica a mis pulseras. Parece que uso 20% de la misma pulsera, 80% del tiempo.
En mi closet, tengo un área con un tocador donde me arreglo cada mañana. Lo ultimo que me pongo son los accesorios. Tengo unos cajones y joyeros del otro lado del closet donde guardo mis pulseras. El año pasado, compre un organizador de joyas que se cuelga. Originalmente planeaba ponerlo en la pared detrás de la puerta del closet, pero me di cuenta que seria mas practico tenerlo cerca del tocador donde me arreglo. Cada noche, saco los accesorios que me voy a poner para el siguiente día y los dejo sobre el tocador. Comencé a notar que estaba usando las pulseras que estaban en el organizador de joyas mas seguido y aveces se me olvidaba que tenia otras pulseras guardadas en los cajones y los joyeros. ¿Esto te pasa a ti también?
En una visita reciente a The Container Store con mi esposo, vi esta base de acrilico para pulseras. La compre para poder acomodar mas pulseras en mi tocador. Si veo las pulseras y las tengo a la mano, me las pondre mas seguido. Me dio gusto que pude acomodar varias de las pulseras en la base. Quizás ocupe una o dos bases mas para acomodar otras pulseras que tengo el los cajones.
¿Cómo organizas tus pulseras? ¿Tienes varias pulseras y las usas seguido?
Un abrazo,
Paola
