Kate,
When I was admiring your post on the baby shower I noticed that Julia was wearing a statement necklace. I LOVE statement necklaces! I have a few but only really love one, which is a mix of pearls with a brass chunky chain, that I got from Club Monaco. I've dressed it up, for a wedding, and dressed it down for a dinner out, and it just adds a lot to any outfit. The other reason I love a good necklace is because, as you know, I can barely wear any other jewelry since giving birth to Peter! So sad, but I can barely get away with wearing my engagement and wedding rings a few days before I get a nasty allergic reaction to them. The same thing happens with earrings but the reaction is even quicker. We are talking hours before my ear lobes are red and swollen.
So I have adjusted and moved on to necklaces. Here are my current obsessions.
#1- Anthropologie.
#2-Banana Republic
#3- Sabine. Available on Piperlime. (Most affordable)
#4- Jenny Bird. Side note- This reminds me a lot of the one I already have but I do LOVE it. Also, Mike's cousin has it so I would be copying her. Then again, she lives in New York so it's not like we run in the same circles!
#5- Amber Sceats. I also like her Freya and Oracle necklaces. These are the most $ of the bunch i.e not happening! Available at Gee Beauty.
Kate Spade also always has beautiful statement necklaces but I have enough to decide through already. I would love feedback!
