#making a statement

Costume jewelry are no longer a thing of the past! When walking into J.Crew yesterday while shopping with my beautiful mother, I fell in love with the most gorgeous statement necklace. From afar it looks like a large piece of costume jewelry but in actuality it a most have centerpiece for any fall outfit.

Statement necklaces can be tricky, you have to make sure that your outfit is simple enough that adding a large piece of jewelry won't overwhelm your outfit. Also you have to pick the right size for you, everyone's necks and heads are a different size and picking the right style and size statement necklace can essentially be a fashion disaster not to mention that it looks like you will fall over if it's to large.

Now I did fall for the J.Crew collection but there are many other slightly more affordable collections, but be aware that the cheaper the necklace the lower the quality so you don't want to start losing jewels or get that ugly green line.

Here are some some of my favorites from J.Crew:

Tricolor Floral

Symmetrical Stone (one of my personal favorites)

Crystal Fan: This will be mine!

Don't forget the arm candy!

So I suggest you save up and invest in one of J.Crews statement pieces, a definite must for the fall season!
