Let Your Necklace Do the Talkin!

Bergdorf $795
A girl can dream...

I first heard of Olivia Palermo on MTV's reality show, "The City". While Palermo came off as a cold-hearted socialite with a bad case of brattitude, you can't deny her impeccable style. Olivia has done plenty of modeling, styling, and magazine work. In 2010 she launched her own jewelry line with Robert Freymann. You have to admit the girl knows how to work a statement necklace. This has been my favorite way to take an outfit from blah to beautiful with little to no effort. Try pairing a striped tshirt with a gaudy necklace. It creates the perfect contrast of grunge and glammer. ;) 

Pair something complicated
with a simple white button up
for a chic day look.

Pair a long sparkly necklace with
a sleek blazer to give yourself a rich
and lengthy look.

Personally, my favorite
way to rock this style.

 
In order to channel this style savvy New York fashionista look for a statement necklace that can be mixed and matched with several different tops and dresses. I would suggest finding one with a hint of silver and gold, a few different pops of color, and something that says WOW! Here are some necklaces worthy of a home in your jewelry collection...
