DRESSCODE: THE NO RE-GIFTING GUIDE 2019

Recess Dresscode Text Header

It's that time again- Marie Monsod shares her fave six picks for gifts that will definitely not be re-gifted. You might even want to snag a few for yourself! From Affordable to Chanel, we have something for everyone, A through Z. Whether sweet, sassy, edgy, or unpredictable, we've got you covered. Or...ACCESSORIZED!

 

Recess Dresscode No-Regifting Guide 2019 #1-Perfect Pins: bow, choker, lipstick, bar, safety pin

Pin one on. Not sure what to get? Pins are the perfect little token for gifting and come in a range of styles to fit any personality and budget. From a classic jeweled bar to a cheeky lipstick, these little ornaments are an easy way to add a little fun to a basic wardrobe staple- Or, go all out and splurge on a chained version linked to a choker bodychain that lets her know you're inspired by a bit of bondage.
Shop brooches, pins, and barrettes.

 

  

Recess Dresscode No-Regifting Guide 2019 #2-Long & Layered: gold and bead necklaces laid out

Wrap it up. Long layering necklaces are the perfect gift- one can never have too many, so you're golden. Each one adds depth and texture to any look, and even better when you can pile them on. We love a long rope chain that can be wrapped around the neck multiple times. Need something more substantial? We have that, too.
Shop necklaces.

 

Recess Dresscode No-Regifting Guide 2019 #3-Statement Scarves: 3 scarves in rosettes

Tie one on. A well-tied scarf is an easy substitute for hardware and jewelry looks with an added dose of color. Folds up small and travels well- and there's a print to match any passion or personality. It's an easy way to inject a bit of Yves Saint Laurent, Hermés, or Celine into any look. Tie one around the neck, wear as a headwrap, knot around the wrist, or add a dash of color to a handbag- scarves are the magic shapeshifters of the accessory world. We'd even frame an especially gorgeous print; after all, they are works of illustrative art. 
Shop scarves.

 

Recess Dresscode No-Regifting Guide 2019 #4-Earring Envy: Gold earrings scattered

Pick a pair, any pair. The signature of a Recess girl is her fabulous collection of earrings. Distinctive and statement-making, you pretty much can't go wrong with any of our earrings. From long drops to bold buttons, you can be sure your gift will be unique!
Shop earrings.

 

Recess Dresscode No-Regifting Guide 2019 #5-Covetable Coco: three gold chanel pendants

In Love with the Coco. What to get for the person who has everything? You can never go wrong with Chanel- and you can never own too much Chanel. Even better? Long layering necklaces (see above) by Chanel. She already has one? No problem- two are better than one! She doesn't have one yet? Then perfect!
Shop Chanel necklaces.

 

Recess Dresscode No-Regifting Guide 2019 #6-Gram Worthy: Gucci & cartier gift box sets

For the person who has everything- all the things they never knew they wanted, and now can't live without. A Gucci tennis racket cover will turn heads off the court and can be used to stylishly stash items in the rectangular pouch. A Cartier card wallet set with gold pens will turn a shopping purchase into a deliberate action. A beautiful Gucci bracelet watch set with a rainbow of bezels will always be a perfect match for any look. Above all, each of these pieces will be great on the gram (we know it's a thing!), so bonus points!
Shop gifts.
