The Statement Necklace


I'm linking up with Marionberry Style today for the monthly style challenge - the statement necklace.  I own way to many big statement necklaces for my own good.  In fact, most times, I start with the necklace then work my outfit around it.  I love statement necklaces because it can dress up the most dressed down simple blouse and jeans outfit.  I also love that they can be so inexpensive.  I don't like to spend too much on such a necklace because it's not something I can wear every day.  Well, to clarify, I can wear a statement necklace every day just not the same one every day.  Some of my favorite places to pick up these adorable accessories are Forever 21, Francesca's Collection, Baublebar, Ebay, Ann Taylor, and Banana Republic.



Necklace: Ann Taylor  /  Shirt: Loft  /  Sweater: Gap  /  Jeans: Old Navy  /  Shoes: Sam Edelman 'Trina'  /  Handbag: Coach 'Kristin'  /  Sunglasses: Chanel  /  Jewelry: J Crew, David Yurman
