I really do love statement pieces. 🙂
This huge turquoise necklace is my very favorite. Â I’ve had it for years and because it’s so heavy, I’ve broken it once and had to have it re-strung at a bead shop.
Black and white make great backdrops if you want to use a statement piece. Â I’ve tried this necklace on with patterns, but it’s just too much. Â It needs to be paired with neutral colors, so it doesn’t have to compete.
Contrary to that, I also love combining red and turquoise.
I wore this outfit to the kickoff meeting of the Charlotte Carolina Club Leadership Team at Vivace.  In retrospect, I should have went sleeveless because we met out on their terrace and boy was it hot! However, I love the different textures of the black lace and the turquoise beads.  Clearly, I have a penchant for lace this week.
Because I’m such a slight person, I have little rules about statement pieces, like no big earrings, no huge belts, no scarves, etc. Basically I follow the rule no two large accessories shall be worn at the same time. Â Kelly 2: 19.
Now there are exceptions to this rule but typically this is my own little silent rule. Â Personally, I think taller girls can get away with more than one large accessory at a time sometimes. Â But I also believe in being true to your own style, which means, feel free to throw any of my personal rules out the window.
Do you have a favorite statement piece?
Do you follow any self-imposed fashion or accessorizing rules?
