the statement necklace

Statement (or more specifically, bib) necklaces are a huge trend that we have seen in seasons past and they don't seem to be going away.  We love them for their ability to transform the simplest of outfits.  We warn you that they aren't called statement necklaces for nothing.  Some are huge and gaudy to the extreme, sporting materials such as feathers, beads, vintage broaches, etc.  They can get pretty pricy.  We are talking hundreds of dollars here.  Fear not.  We rounded up a few of our favorites, all for under $50.

Olivia Palermo is one who loves her statement necklaces.  She wears hers dressed up or down.  Notice how she wears this same necklace for a night out and then out during the day.  Try doing the same with yours.  It looks equally great.
