make a statement! (necklace)

January has to be the most boring month for me... after the holidays the cheer of the winter season disapears and i just can't help craving for more warmer weather... granted in california it doesn't get that cold, but i still have to bundle up. my outfits tend to become the same... sweater over jeans or leggings, boots, and you guessed it, a scarf! BOORRRRING!!

i start looking for the upcoming spring trends and i like to figure out how to incorporate that into my wardrobe during the colder months to make my outfits wayy less boring.

one of my favorite trends is a bold statement necklace, but i find sometimes they can be hard to wear. so heres my guide on what to wear with what.

1. Bright Colors



they key to wearing a bright colored necklace is to wear it with a low key outfit. pair it with a chambray shirt and a pair of colored skinny jeans that matches one of the colors in the necklace.



to make sure you dont completely look like you're waiting for spring (like i am) pair this look with a leather jacket.



2. glitzy and feminine


to dress down a fancier statement necklace for day wear, pair a necklace like this with fun feminine pieces. keep the color of your blouse an earth tone or natural color to complement the metal of your necklace without getting to overwhelming. pull a cardigan sweater over the blouse to stay warm.



finish the look off with a pair of flared jeans and wedges



3. geometric


i love the neckace that is the outfit all on its own. so for this look you want to keep your outfit super lowkey and let the necklace do all the talking.

an all black outfit will really bring out the gold in this necklace. go for an oversized black tunic and leggings with a leatherette texture. this is fashion forward without feeling like you're overdressed. the oversized tunic has a relaxed vibe thats also super confortable.

 

add a pair of black booties which help to dress up the lower half of your outfit, while still keeping your statement necklace the center of attention!



have fun with statement jewelry, but remember its a balancing act. the fancier your necklace is, or the brighter the color, the more lowkey the rest of your outfit should be.
