September 29th, 2015 at 2:00am

Statement necklaces have been all the rage for the past few years, showing up on the runway, magazine and in your jewelry collection. Statement necklaces are present in a variety of different categories ranging from preppy, rocker, bohemian all the way to vintage. These kinds of necklaces have been used since the early 1900s to spice up simple outfits with pearls, rhinestones and colorful embellishments.

This Fashionista’s statement necklace is the perfect addition to any outfit. The style is a simple squoval (if that is even a shape… If it isn’t, hey, I just made up a word!) pattern, the color is an elegant yet neutral champagne with a minimal amount of sparkle and then the gold detailing tops off any outfit. Wearing a simple outfit and paring it with a statement necklace is a super simple way to dress up a look without really trying! Whether it’s a necklace with colorful tassels, a bohemian rocker-chic chunky necklace or an intricate choker, a statement necklace can work with any outfit!

This Fashionista completes her ensemble with a pale pink tank top, white skinny jeans, brown sandals and Alex and Ani bracelets. These are all articles of clothing that can be easily acquired at your favorite shop.

How To: Scared of rocking a statement necklace? Start off with a simple statement necklace like this Fashionista or start off with neutral colored statement necklaces. After you find a necklace you feel like you can truly rock and flaunt, pick a cute outfit to pair with your necklace! Remember—always build your outfit around your necklace! It is the most important piece and you want all attention drawn to it.
