Put it on! It won’t bite!
IT’S UGLY, right? When we first saw this tribal mega-necklace, we thought so too. Mardi Gras parade, voodoo witch doctor, freaky Deco festival, Fire-eaters Anonymous …
Then, for a laugh, one of us put it on. Silence fell over the room. Over a loose chambray shirt, it took on a cool Georgia O’Keeffe vibe. Not bad. Then we tried it over a V-neck jersey dress. It accented the neckline and gave the basic solid a lot of personality. Then we popped it on a pink sleeveless top. The iridescent shell tied the bright piece together perfectly with an accompanying beige skirt.
The lesson? Don’t be afraid of inexpensive statement pieces. They need not be a designer brand or perfectly on trend. Yes, it’s a whole lot of necklace, but worn with the right outfit, somehow it works.
