I’ve always been a bit of a human magpie. (I mean, did you see my last gift guide?) While I do tend to get distracted easily (#ADD), my attention always diverts when there are sparkly things around. I love a little glitz, what can I say?
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a ‘jewelry girl.’ (And a shoe, watch, bag, sunglasses girl… Okay, maybe ‘accessories girl’ is a better fit.) I’ve always been fascinated by the fact that a single piece of jewelry can transform almost any outfit. My go-to? A statement necklace. Statement necklaces are the bomb dot com. What other accessory can you wear with a sweatshirt and also a ball gown and it looks fabulous either way? That’s why I’m usually willing to pay a little bit extra for a sparkly statement necklace. The versatility and cost-per-wear can’t be beat!
Let’s talk about this bow-tie necklace, shall we? I’m obsessed. I mean, it’s a bow so naturally I love it. I’ve had so much fun playing around with different looks… It looks great under the collar of a plaid or chambray button-front shirt. It makes such a statement when worn with a black turtleneck. It’s super cute layered over a simple tee shirt. And it looks absolutely fab with a fancy dress. Dress it up, or dress it down!

Love this whole look! If you don’t mind me asking, what size did you order your Barbour in? I would love to order one but am worried about sizing.
The jacket and bow necklace create a timeless pairing! The necklace adds a touch of sophistication to the outfit. Love the combination. Thanks for the fashion inspiration!
