Coachella [Jewelry] Style

It's a hipsters paradise and this year the Queens of Coachella had their hippy/I-just-don't-care, but still-spent-2 hours-getting-ready looks down to a tee.

While most sites are critiquing Coachella fashions, I am more interested in the jewelry, specifically.

Here are my jewelry rules for fitting into Coachella (or any music festival for that matter):

1) Layer. One simple necklace just wont do. Layer necklaces in differing lengths for a festival chic look.

2) Include Color. Add some interesting color to your arm party, your ears (a la Kate Bosworth) or neck, lest you get washed away in the crowd.

3) Be Sharp. Geometric shapes were big this year at Coachella.  Triangles especially seem to have taken the forefront with this hip crowd, but really, any interesting pendant or shape will do.

Hope this "Do" list helps you accessorize a little easier this festival season. Don't forget to top off your look with a floppy hat, shorts, low boots, and a cross-body bag.  You're all set!
