The Statement Necklace 

I was in my favorite jewelry showroom, Kenze Panne, the other day at the Dallas Market Center and it was full of some of the most beautiful pieces- from small necklaces to huge ornate earrings- they were so sparkly and colorful I just wanted everything! The best part was everything is organized by color….which all of us girls know is like shopping heaven. Seriously when I walk into a store and everything is organized by color I just want to buy everything. I was overwhelmed by all the pretty statement necklaces-they had hot pink, coral, neon green, bright turquoise, and all were adorned with crystals and pearls. It was amazing what all they had and I couldn’t decide which style I wanted. I kept asking myself “what would I wear with this?”

 I feel like this is a common attitude with statement necklaces or just jewelry in general. Here is how I deal with this daily shopping struggle:

1

. “What can I wear with this piece?”

-Anything! If it’s a bright color try wearing all one solid color, preferably all white or black(if you do all pink or all blue it might be too much)

2.    If getting a multi-colored necklace stresses you out too much then try on something that’s all pearls or crystal.  Or a solid colored top/dress so the necklace really stands out. I bought a necklace with tortoise shell pendants that had crystal-like flowers on top. (see below)

3    If you happen to own a patterned top or dress(for me maybe a cheetah or snakeskin top)that would be perfect with a multicolored necklace.

My point is don’t miss an opportunity to get a really colorful necklace just because you don’t know how to work it-but at the same time don’t make a hasty decision on what piece you want to buy! 

When I find more I'll be sure to share them for more tips and ideas!

 Here are some statement necklaces I have purchased recently. The one to the left is the tortoise shell I mentioned above and the one on the right is a blue necklace that I like to wear with patterned and solid tops/dresses.
