♥ a grand statement.

i believe that a good piece of jewelry has the power

to transform an entire outfit from "so. so" to "so. woah!"

which is why i am particularly enamored of these

statement necklaces by british jewelry designer,

fiona paxton.

they have weight, they have texture, and best of all:

they go with any old thing laying around your closet.

since most of us cannot afford a whole new wardrobe,

a bold piece of jewelry is the next best thing.

still, for some of us, a $350 dollar investment necklace

is still a bit hard to come by.

here are some less expensive alternatives

for a look that speaks for itself:

forever 21, $15

arden b, $28

bloomingdales, $35

the limited, $28

anthropologie, $298
