As someone who has always been a big fan conservative and understated jewelry, I wasn't taken by this trend at first. However, when I was shopping with my sister for one of her sorority events, I instantly fell in love! And the best part of this trend? They come in any style/color/shape/price range you could ask for. I personally prefer buying fun and funky jewelry at more inexpensive stores just because I don't tend to wear them on a regular basis, but obviously that it is a matter of personal choice. I love how statement necklaces allow me to be colorful and bold, like my favorite necklace shown above from Forever 21 (around $12)!
However, when wearing such a statement piece, it's important to remember that less really is more. The necklace should be the central focus of the outfit, so other accessories and outfit pieces should be kept relatively simple (especially avoid large earrings - they can be extremely distracting). I wore this necklace on New Years Eve with a black peplum blouse, darkwash jeans, a simple chain bracelet, gold stud earrings, and gold ballet flats, and this was the perfect combination to feature such a statement piece.
Looking towards the spring, I have noticed tons of styles for statement necklaces, especially in bright, neon colors. Will you try out this fun trend?
