This Chanel necklace is one of my favorites for many reasons. Statement pieces and gold seem to be in this season and, c'mon, when is Chanel not in. The heavy chain can add a little edge to any outfit, especially florals and babydoll tops. Embellishments, like rhinestones, charms, and solid color gems, can help pull together colors or add an eye catching "pop" to a monochromatic outfit (Hint hint-- mint green on black and white!). I've seen a few great pieces in stores lately in a number of price ranges. Four of my favorites are below for you to enjoy--
So, I can't post the photo of my Chanel necklace without giving it's amazing backstory. No, I'm not some super rich girl who just goes and buys Chanel jewelry out of the case on a whim. A few years ago I visited Italy with a tour group. My aunt, uncle, and cousin were on the trip as well and at the end of the trip, they decided to stay a few extra days in Rome in an elite hotel in the heart of the city. As my cousin unfolded the couch in the hotel room, out dropped this necklace. Ok, Ok, it's actually a belt, I think, but I've never worn it as such. After they returned, my aunt gave it to me as a gift since she knew it was exactly my taste. Is it real? I think so. It has a stamp and a serial number on the clasp. Would I care if it were fake? No Way! I love this necklace and feel like a rockstar wearing it.
Hope you enjoyed this daily inspiration. Have any tips or ticks for wearing chain jewelry? I'd love to hear from you! E-mail me and I'll get your tip posted here for other readers!
