Startling Statement

I love a statement necklace but so often they are full of jewels and baubles that can dominate an outfit. So let's look at some eye-catching statement necklaces that don't rely on the usual chunky baubles but still make an entrance.

Nordstrom, Rebecca Minkoff Catalina Seed Bead Statement Necklace, $79

See what I mean? Pow.

Macy's, Ralph Lauren Gold Tone Multi Bead Statement Necklace, $77

Something totally different. Earthy feel to it but still dressy.

BaubleBar, Tiziana Statement Necklace, $68

A beautiful mix of nautical colors with a layered look.

Macy's, Rachel Roy Gold Tone Corded Tassel Statement Necklace, $55

This piece has a regal look to it. I love the mix of materials with this powerful red.

Sure a blingy statement necklace is always a go to piece in my closet, but try to mix it up with something powerful that is also unexpected.

Stop and Smell the Statement

May flowers. Love them. Let's wear them. Floral statement necklaces are bold, season specific, and colorful for all summer long!

Talbots, Bouquet Necklace, $79

I love how non-blingy this necklace is. It's colorful and almost vintage looking. Great heavy chain as well.

Amazon, Trisha Floral Necklace, $48

Spring perfection in a necklace. These flowers have a cotton candy feel to them.

Shoptiques, Classy Floral Necklace, $29

Unclear what a 'not classy' floral necklace looks like, but this one is gorgeous. I love the pearlescent colors.

Kohl's, Flower Collage Double Strand Necklace, $18

A delicate double strand really balances the punchy flowers.

A great warm weather accessory that is fun and easy to add to a button down shirt, tee, or dress! Floral statement necklaces come in all sorts of colors, styles, and most importantly, prices.

Summertime Statement

Everybody loves a great statement necklace but when it's a bajillion degrees it's not exactly heavy necklace time. Today let's look at some summer appropriate statement necklaces. These beauties are are light, airy, and bring just the right amount of color.

Baublebar, Shoshanna Amulet Necklace, $42

This necklace dresses up ripped denim shorts and a tank top.

Sole Society, Tassel and Chain Necklace, $39

I'd pair this with white linen. Crisp and standout in a non-bling sort of way.

Anthropologie, Mystic Seas Bib Necklace, $58

This piece reminds me of seashells. I love it with a maxi dress.

Target, Women's Fashion Necklace with Stones, $19

This necklace brings the bling but the coral and mint tones are perfect for summer.

Summer accessories don't always need to be minimal and light, these statement necklaces dress up any outfit and they're under budget.

Be Brave

Though the holiday parties may be winding down, I believe that the extra bit of fashion courage you get during holiday parties should carry into the new year. Add that extra high heel, a little more bling, or that patterned skirt that sits in the back of your closet. Today, we'll focus on the bling. Big bling is perfect for sweater weather. A great sweater is the perfect canvas for a great necklace.

BaubleBar, Carmen Miranda Bib, $42

This is what I like to call a Monday through Sunday piece. I say this because you can make it work for absolutely any occasion. Put this with a black suit for work, pair it with bf jeans for the weekend, and add it on with a deep v-neck lbd for the evening.

Target, Short Statement Necklace with Multi Clusters, $24

You know what? You go Target, way to nail this statement necklace for under 25 bucks.

Charming Charlie, Candy Mosaic Necklace, $18

I chose this necklace because they describe the gems as baguette crystal rhinestones. Any necklace that incorporates carbs into the description is fine by me.

H&M, Short Necklace, $14

Pretty pink gems are offset perfectly with the gold chains.

My dog Norman is pretty much afraid of everything, and when he gets into a terrifying situation - such as someone wanting to pet him - I always say, 'be brave Norm'. So I say harness that holiday outfit bravery and wear those statement pieces all year long.

Making a Statement

Happy hump day kids.  Thank goodness right? And in celebration I want to look at some necklaces with some punch.  Give a little oomph to this Wednesday.

Statement necklaces come in all styles: bib, rocker, bohemian. Let's see what we can find.

Amrita Singh, Quetza necklace, $50

Talk about a statement.  How gorgeous is this piece? I'm thinking a deep scoop neck tee shirt or a boatneck LBD!

Nordstrom, Leslie Danzis miced media torsade necklace, $88

Oh my word this is a work of art.  There are no words.

J Crew Factory, ombre pearl necklace, $39

I really like the take on this bauble necklace.  It's a little rocker with the chain, a little classy with the pearls.

Max and Chloe, blu bijoux quadruple drop necklace, $45

Can we just picture this with an awesome tan? Ooo la la!

I hope this helped perk up your Wednesday.  Necklaces, especially fashion jewelry are such a fun way to mix up an outfit.
