Do you ever walk past a store or indulge in a day of online window shopping only to come across some must have item that you desperately want? Your heart is set on the decision to buy, but then you look at the price tag and your dreams are shattered. You are so tempted to let this one slide and make the purchase, but you know that you shouldn’t let yourself succumb to materialistic desires. Ladies, you are not alone. Controlling your finances is tough, and we give you props for doing it so well. We are well aware of the importance of saving money for a rainy day, but splurging once in a while doesn’t have to be the end of the world. You just have to make sure that the item is worth it. Buy something that you can use in countless ways.
We constantly preach the credence that jewelry is a great investment. Celebrities such as style icon Rachel Zoe share this mentality. It is much more cost effective to spend less on clothing and more on accessories. The reason for this is because jewelry can transform a look in countless ways. Without jewelry, that plain black t-shirt is just a plain black t-shirt. With the use of jewelry you can take that plain black t-shirt and create a colorful look, a dramatic look, an elegant look and the list goes on.
Statement pieces of jewelry are fabulous items to add to your collection, especially dramatic bib necklaces. A statement necklace is the first thing that somebody is going to see. You can dress your look up with a bold bib necklace, or you can use your bib necklace to distract from less flattering aspects of your ensemble on your lazy days.
If you’re in the market for a good splurge, we have five recommendations to consider before making that final purchase.
For the girly girl: The Ben-Amun Gold Box Chain and Multi Crystal Floral Pendant Necklace is the perfect match for a girly girl who wants to make a statement. This necklace can be easily paired with a basic skirt and blouse, a solid color dress or even jeans. Make a statement and wear it often!
For the bohemian queen: If you are a fan of bright pops of color and intricate detailing, then you should consider these looks:
Yochi Rhinestone and Orange Stone Flat Chain Bib Necklace
Karen London Gold Brass Lapis and Turquoise Desert Moon Bib Necklace
Julie Vos Belize Seven Stone Gold and Turquoise Bib Necklace
The colors of all three of these pieces stand out and will add a bit of light to any look you sport.
For the elegant diva: Who are we kidding, we are all divas at heart! That’s probably why we love the Kenneth Jay Lane Gold and Square Crystal Bib Necklace so much. We first talked about this necklace on Monday after Super Diva Lady Gaga was spotted wearing the silver version. Did you see how beautiful she looked? This necklace is going fast. We only have one left!
The decision is going to be tough. We love them all, so picking one is nearly impossible. Which one is your favorite?
