Statement Necklace, originally uploaded by academichic.
I love the color of this necklace and, incidentally, I just found this jersey dress at the Banana Republic Outlet that matches the necklace color perfectly. I think this would make for a killer evening look; the necklace, the dress, a great pair of heels, and perhaps a pashmina draped over the shoulders.
But alas, it’s the end of the semester and all I’m seeing these evenings is the screen of my computer and the pages of my books. I still wanted to adapt this look to fit my life right now and so I styled it for a day of teaching and meetings on campus. By adding a flat shoe (this is also by necessity since it’s only day two post-marathon) and a fitted jacket, the statement necklace and dress combo become business-casual and day-wear ready! S.

The outfit you built around your statement necklace is fantastically chic – and you’ve made it practical without sucking out any of the coolness. ;)
You look gorgeous! I love the outfit, especially the dress and necklace.
very pretty….love the necklace…That Kim is great.
I love this dress! The whole outfit looks great…classic and beautiful. And I love how the color of the dress and necklace bring out the red highlights in your hair.
I’m so glad you won because that necklace was meant to be paired with that great dress of yours! You look fantastic!
Thanks, everyone, for your nice words!
And thanks to Kim for this awesome necklace! As the day went on, I just fell in love with it more and thought of more ways of incorporating it into day looks. But this particular combo will certainly get more usage in the future!
I’m glad my tip helped out! Yeah, I’ve also found that the “Flirt” trousers don’t fit my hips right. Something about the jeans…
